The gameplay of the Moto Racer series, particularly in its latest iteration, is characterized by a mix of fun arcade racing mechanics and a variety of modes, including time trials and trick challenges. While many players appreciate the nostalgic feel and improved graphics, criticisms arise regarding control issues, unbalanced progression in career mode, and a lack of customization options, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, the game retains a solid arcade racing spirit that may appeal to fans of the genre.
- “It's an arcade racer with functional graphics and fun gameplay.”
- “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 gets tiring at some point, it's very repetitive. The career mode has an unbalanced progression and difficulty; the game starts well, but then it just goes absurdly downhill as we progress, making it not enjoyable to play anymore.”
- “One of the worst racing games I had the displeasure of playing. The developers 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 horrible, and the developers forgot to let you modify the keys in the configuration, which is a basic function most games have. It feels like a lazy PC port, with performance issues and limited graphical settings. Even if you manage to surpass the control issues, it's just a bad racing game with minimal content, barebones racing mechanics, and bland levels. The AI you race against is also braindead, making it feel like a cash grab trying to reuse the name of a classic franchise.”
- “The gameplay is horrendous.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while many players appreciate the energetic soundtrack that enhances the racing experience, some find it repetitive and forgettable over time.

- “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.”
- “I recommend to everyone who wants a great experience, with a nice soundtrack, with speed and joy!”

- “The soundtrack doesn't match at all with the previous games.”

Many users feel that the game suffers from a lack of polish typical of a rushed PC port, leading to an inconsistent experience, particularly when interacting with the environment. Overall, while some players find the optimization satisfactory, others consider it a major flaw that detracts from the gameplay experience.
- “Performance is great as well, especially for a racing game that had too many that stutter, but this is good.”

The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many players noting that it feels corny or non-existent, primarily serving as a backdrop to the racing mechanics. While some appreciate the character personalities and creative design, the consensus is that the focus on racing overshadows any meaningful narrative, leading to a perception that a traditional story mode is unnecessary or poorly executed. Overall, players seem to prioritize gameplay over story, suggesting that the narrative elements are not a significant draw for this genre.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “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.”
- “Not saying that all these characters (and bikes) don't look cool, but they created a story around that, which appears childish.”
- “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.”
- “Lack of a proper story mode (this may well be included, I went to career mode and no story mode started).”
- “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.”

Players find the grinding aspect of achievements and trophies excessively tedious, with some tasks requiring an impractical amount of repetition, such as performing 3,500 wheelies or achieving high scores multiple times. This has led to a consensus that the grinding feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “The achievements and trophies are way too grindy; you have to do things like 200 times, score 500k points, and one even requires you to perform 3500 wheelies. Like, no one has time for that!”
