Analog control of your throttle and brakes, control of the rider's weight placement, and separate control of your front and rear brakes are all available. However, a plethora of options are available to give you greater control of your motorcycle of choice. On the default settings, fans of the series should feel immediately comfortable. Multiplayer is offered as well, allowing up to four players to compete in a head-to-head race or a grand prix race against a number of computer-controlled opponents.Īs mentioned above, the game's greatest achievement is its grasp of the control of a motorcycle.
The legends mode allows you to compete in a challenging race against the tournament's best, from any time period, and the challenge mode provides you with a smattering of unique time trials and races. However, only the top 100 times are ranked, so the competition is very fierce. The time trial mode will also provide you with a password that you can enter on the game's Web site to see how your time stacks up. The game provides ample help with this, in the form of ghostly representations of your best runs and a turn-by-turn analysis of each run. Time trial is exactly what it sounds like-a chance for you to take on any track alone with any bike to hone your skills and improve your lines.
The arcade mode allows you to compete in a one-off race on any track with any bike without commitment or consequence. The season mode allows you to take on a racing contract with teams such as Repsol Honda, Telefonica Movistar Suzuki, and Yamaha Tech 3, among others, and then compete in a series of races against other teams. That being said, the game more or less features the same selection of game modes as its predecessors. MotoGP 3 plays every bit as good as it looks. Look deeper, however, and you'll find that considerable work has been done in refining the controls, addressing the requests of fans of the series, and adding some gameplay elements to help the game better compete with THQ's MotoGP-licensed Xbox title. On a superficial level, the third MotoGP game seems like a formulaic expansion on its immediate predecessor-it features 15 tracks instead of 10, 41 motorcycles instead of 38, and a bit more polish in the graphics, but otherwise it's very similar to the last game in the series. Namco's series is heralded as the official game of MotoGP, and it's licensed by Dorna, the organization responsible for the annual tournament. With the coming of the 2003 motorcycle racing season, Namco is releasing MotoGP3, the third installment in its motorcycle racing series.
