Rank yourself too low and you will lose out on ranking stars, rank yourself too high and you will fail the challenge. If you make, or exceed, the rank you picked you will earn those stars. Off-road it’s about getting your dirt-bike across a precarious terrain littered with deadly jumps and hair-pin turns.Īt the start of each race you get to rank yourself, basically placing a bet on your likely performance. On roads, it’s all about pushing your street-bike to the limit.

There are usually multiple routes, potentially making each lap different.

The circuits are not afraid to take you off-road and often contain jumps that if properly executed give you a speed boost. The game features a great variety of circuits that are fun to race on. Fans of slit-screen multiplayer will be pleased to see the feature included in the game, as well as the obligatory online racing mode. As you progress through the career mode, circuits unlock for use in the quick game, time trial and hot lap modes. The career mode offers up a series of events featuring a couple of races followed by a multi-race championship. Same goes for riding into one of the private vehicles that you often share the road with.īut, Moto Racer 4 is very much an arcade racer and not a motorcycle sim. Scrape a fence and you’ll be fine, bury your bike into a wall and you’ll not fair so well- respawning in the centre of the road. You are not going to get a good time doing this, as the game will give you a penalty for going off-course, but it reduces the frustration and, unfortunately, the challenge as well.

This rather forgiving gameplay allows you to grab a handful of throttle and pinball your bike around the course without little fear of taking a slide. Depending on your personal preference, this is either a good thing or a bad thing. It wants you to have a good time rather than conquer the steep learning curve usually favoured by two-wheeled racers. Compared to the Ride or MotoGP games, Moto Racer 4 is a pretty easy-going arcade motorcycle game.
