Moto Racer 4

I can see this being an always in the stack, never traded kind of something to play quickly or for a while type game. Not a hidden gem, not a cult classic in the making but goes to the same parties as those.

  • Fun arcade-style racing that captures the spirit of the original Moto Racer games.
  • Variety of tracks and characters, with a decent sense of speed and enjoyable gameplay mechanics.
  • Good graphics and performance, especially for an arcade racer, making it visually appealing.
  • Awful keyboard controls that are unconfigurable, making the game nearly unplayable without a controller.
  • Frustrating difficulty spikes and a poorly designed career mode that can feel grindy and unfair.
  • Bugs and performance issues, including stuttering and collision problems, detract from the overall experience.
  • graphics
    69 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the vibrant visuals and detailed environments powered by Unreal Engine 4, while others criticize them as low quality, outdated, or repetitive. Many players appreciate the arcade-style aesthetic and smooth performance, but some feel the graphics do not stand out or meet modern standards. Overall, the visuals are generally described as decent to good, but not the primary draw of the game.

    • “The graphics in Moto Racer 4 are pretty impressive, with detailed scenery and realistic motorcycle designs.”
    • “The graphics are amazing, the soundtrack is good, and the maps are well designed.”
    • “Powered by Unreal Engine 4, the graphics are stunning, from the colors to the textures and the lighting + special effects, all is goodness for the retina of your eye!”
    • “The graphics are low quality, with terrible pop-in and missing details in the distance.”
    • “Very generic and repetitive track visuals; the ground is very obviously just one set of tiles repeated.”
    • “Although it does run on Unreal Engine 4, the graphics seem a bit outdated in my opinion.”
  • gameplay
    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Moto Racer 4 is characterized by its arcade-style mechanics, including a wheelie boost system and various racing modes that enhance the experience. While many players appreciate the fun and challenging elements, such as tricks and a variety of courses, significant criticisms arise regarding control issues, unbalanced career progression, and a lack of customization options, which detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite its nostalgic appeal and decent graphics, the game suffers from technical flaws and limited content, leading to mixed reviews among players.

    • “The gameplay is fun and challenging, and the graphics look nice.”
    • “Moto Racer 4 is a full-on arcade racing game with re-imagined mechanics from the series past, like the wheelie and tricks, which are cool to pull off and give a boost to your ride.”
    • “Racing games that focus on fun over realism have almost completely faded into obscurity, but fortunately Moto Racer 4 exists and this is more than good enough where it matters: the gameplay.”
    • “Now the bad points: we need to fix the keyboard mechanics ourselves, otherwise the game is unplayable. The devs never really updated a fix for it; it just shows that they don't care at all about their own game. The soundtrack, I know that quite some people enjoy it, but for me, it gets tiring at some point, it's very repetitive. The career mode, I don't like its system at all; the progression and difficulty are unbalanced. The game starts well, but then it just goes absurdly downhill as we progress, it simply becomes not that enjoyable to play the game anymore.”
    • “One of the worst racing games I had the displeasure of playing. The developers are so out of their minds that they shipped the game with a completely weird control setup because they probably didn't use the same QWERTY keyboards most people in the world use. The control setup is just horrible; the worst thing of all is that the developers also forgot to let you modify the keys in the configuration. They forgot such a basic function most games have. You can notice it's just a lazy PC port; the performance is all over the place, the settings for graphical options are very limited. Ignoring that for a second, especially the control issue, which in my opinion makes this game pretty much unplayable. Even if you manage to surpass that, it's just a bad racing game. The content here is minimal, the racing mechanics are barebones, and the levels you drive into are just bland. The AI you race against is also braindead; it just feels like a bad cash grab trying to reuse the name of a classic franchise that has existed since the PS1 era to draw attention.”
    • “The gameplay is horrendous.”
  • music
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a solid mix of rock and electronic elements that enhance the racing experience and keep players energized. However, some users find the soundtrack repetitive and forgettable over time, with a few expressing a preference for music from previous titles in the series. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, it may not appeal to everyone in the long run.

    • “The soundtrack is a solid mix of rock guitars and electronic percussion.”
    • “Plus, the game has a great soundtrack that will keep you pumped up and ready to ride.”
    • “With gorgeous visuals, nice non-intrusive music, solid sound effects that all help immerse you well in the tracks.”
    • “The sound and music should have been a lot better.”
    • “Second, the soundtrack doesn't match at all with the previous games.”
    • “Sadly, you can't switch music tracks in-game from the pause menu as it seems certain music tracks are locked to particular race courses.”
  • optimization
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its overall performance, especially for a racing title, while others report significant issues such as stuttering, texture loading delays, and poor control configurations. Although some users experienced satisfactory performance on their systems, many noted that the game suffers from inconsistent frame rates and limited graphical settings, indicating that optimization could be improved. Overall, while there are moments of good performance, the game's optimization appears to be a significant concern for many players.

    • “Performance is great as well, especially for a racing game that had too many that stutter, but this is good.”
    • “The game is totally optimized!”
    • “Game optimization is very good.”
    • “Optimization is not perfect: sometimes textures take a little time to load and/or there are random FPS problems.”
    • “There are performance issues - sometimes the game just slows down/stutters like hell.”
    • “Poor optimization definitely is not helping the final product.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is generally viewed as minimal and somewhat corny, with players noting that while characters have unique looks and backstories, the overall narrative is lacking. Many reviewers feel that the focus on racing and gameplay overshadows the need for a deeper story, with some expressing indifference towards narrative elements in racing games. Overall, the character personalities are appreciated, but the absence of a substantial story mode leaves players wanting more.

    • “Aside from just picking different colors to change the stats of the bike, each rider also has their own unique look, animations, and backstory to boot.”
    • “I often pick Admund since he has the highest speed stat in the game, and his backstory fits me in a way.”
    • “There's not much of a story, but the characters have great personalities, even if only written, and a career mode consisting of various stages, not unlike many other racing games, but I really enjoy it for its creative design and frenetic gameplay.”
    • “There is no real story to the game and you just find yourself racing on tracks and earning stars to get to the next unlock.”
    • “Who cares about story in racing games?”
    • “Just look at EA trying to include story in NFS games for example, it doesn't work and nobody cares about it; we play racing games for the racing part.”
  • humor
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with players finding it genuinely funny, especially in split-screen mode. Many enjoy the comedic elements of chaotic gameplay, such as amusing crashes and quirky physics, which contribute to an entertaining experience despite some challenges. Overall, the game successfully blends humor with its arcade-style fun.

    • “The game sure looks good, and from the handful of hours I've played it, it was pretty funny.”
    • “A good game, funny as heck in split-screen.”
    • “Amazing game! It doesn't have to be a normal racing game; it's fun as it is, and it's pretty funny watching other racers or yourself crash into cars and stuff.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is inconsistent, with some users experiencing fatal errors and glitches, particularly on lower-spec systems. However, others report smooth performance without stuttering or micro-freezes on mid-range hardware. Overall, the game is criticized for being buggy and poorly optimized.

    • “Well, I am playing this game on low specs, and it still encounters fatal errors and glitches.”
    • “A bug-ridden cash grab of a terrible game!”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game is criticized as exploitative, with users labeling it a poorly executed cash grab that is plagued by numerous bugs.

    • “A bug-ridden cash grab of a terrible game!”
    • “The monetization system feels exploitative and ruins the overall experience.”
    • “It's frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of achievements and trophies excessively tedious, with tasks requiring an impractical number of repetitions, such as performing 3,500 wheelies or scoring 500,000 points. This has led to a consensus that the grind feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “The achievements/trophies are way too grindy; do this 200 times, score 500k points, and one even requires you to do 3500 wheelies. Like, no one has time for that!”
    • “It feels unnecessarily grindy.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is characterized by vibrant and engaging graphics that enhance the fun, arcade-style racing experience. While it doesn't aim for realism, the overall presentation and multiplayer options contribute to an enjoyable and lively environment.

    • “Fun arcade racing with unexpected graphics and atmosphere, online/splitscreen mode, and full controller support.”
    • “No realistic simulator, of course, but fun arcade racing with nice graphics and atmosphere, online/splitscreen mode, and full controller support.”
