Moto Racer

The speed, for me the key factor in racers, is lethal, but, what is also important, the frame rate does not suffer. The controls are superb, very responsive and, in time, they become intuitive. Music and sound effects fit in the game perfectly. With the expansion which includes an additional set of tracks applied, there is a total of 10 (4+1 road, 4+1 dirt) tracks. They offer a good variety and require different racing styles even on the same type of surface, which encourages the player to also take advantage of the variety of racing bikes. Unlike some racing games where one and same car is almost always an obvious best choice, regardless of track or driving conditions, I remember using at least 3 different superbikes and 2 motocross bikes throughout the game. Replay value is very high; via winning the championship events, player can unlock reverse tracks and pocket bikes, which are a lot of fun to watch and offer a whole new racing experience. There is only one minor shortcoming to this game. That is the Lost Ruins track, which to an extent feels unpolished, as if developers would be in a rush to meet the deadline, but it is much better to have it included than not. What I regret is that Delphine had ever only released one expansion with additional set of tracks; titled as TWONEWISLANDS, if I recall correctly, primarily as an optional replacement for the Lost Ruins and another track. 10 tracks in extended version might sound like plenty, but because this game is such a masterpiece of a racer, I would gladly pay a few euros per similar expansion with additional track or two to Delphine. Playing Moto Racer definitely is an experience I would recommend to any gamer. Out of 20 - 30 racing (and driving) games in total, it stands on its racing pedestal far above the rest of its genre that I played. It is pure fun. To me, racing games generally have a life span of anything from a few to about 40 hours. I was playing Moto Racer actively for 2 months, and it's one of those games I know I will keep returning to. Last, but not least, I have to praise the courtesy of Delphine Software toward its customers; releasing a free, quality expansion which had delivered two additional, excellent tracks to the Moto Racer fans, was a very positive gesture.

Dont know what some of these nuggets are talking about. Plays perfect in D3D, not a single frame dropped below 60 Supports only 640x480 but that what I played it in mack in the day anyway. Loving the career mode, its kept me more entertained that BF3 and only costs £1.50!

Like just about everyone else here I love the game. Which is why I thought I'd mention that the extra two tracks "Fun Fair" and "Sea of Sand" are still available here: http://ramal.free.fr/mracr_en.htm On the same page the faq's have link for installation of the tracks (in french with pictures which make it easy to follow). Sea of sand...so much fun.

I rember this game from when it came out always thought it was great. So i purchased it and downloaded it straight away. Although it does run in windows 7 64bit, I can only get it to run in software mode, which while ok, it is a bit disapointing that it cannot recocgnise modern 3d hardware. Still good game

Owned the original CD classic! This version is good! Only bad is that you cant get D3D Graphics from Windows 7! Otherwise this game is the same. Only bad is that if you own a Netbook, unless you have a CD or DVD drive connected while you play the game you cant continue due to the programming of the game it complains that the CD resource is tied up! TYVM GOG for selling the classic! Even with the small flaws it presents.
