I feel like the biggest change when it comes to physics is that you can push in the corners way harder than before. I know that there were a lot of complaints about crashing too easy in corners in MXGP1/2 and that is "fixed" now.
I'm not sure this is a good thing. The crashing on the inside when passing was a little annoying but it was nice to have a moto game where you had to respect the corner.

This game is like in alpha state now. Graphics look like shit and it is only 720p upscale to 1080p.
No support above 1080p.
Gameplay is little better than it was before. 125cc sounds horrible, like some amateur was record and mix that sound.
And where is qualifying races?
There is no soul in this game.
4/10

Look what other players says about this game on steam forum and you see :D

Played it for a few hours on pc (steam) and i'm pretty pleased with it. The gameplay itself improved so that made it allot more fun for me. Racing with the AI is also a bit better over the previous versions.

I did get allot of "mud" races in a row in carreer mode, it's fun for a while but i prefer the cleanest version of the tracks the most for hard racing!

Despite a few small complaints I have here and there (mainly with a couple of the tracks) I very much agree with your analysis. It's a big improvement overall (gameplay) and I know that I'm easily going to get my money's worth.

For those on PC, one user posted a resolution fix in the Steam forums (with mixed results). Haven't bothered myself as I think it looks fine but each to their own.

Thanks for the feedback from everyone so far.

Re: Physics . Do you still come to an almost complete stop when over jumping sometimes. That was a pet peeve of mine from MXGP1.
There were a few jump on some tracks that would sky you out a bit and landing them even with the throttle pinned would just kill the revs and all forward momentum.

No, from my experience that has been fixed.

so on the fence. I want to support it. do the 4 strokes sound like kazoos still? sexy graphics and it wont come thru on high def? it doesn't look like it gets bumpy and rutty. you would think the low end grunt and sound would be the easy part. have until the 20th for more reviews.Tongue

720p only? I bought MXGP2 and stopped playing it after 2 weeks because nobody played it online and the physics were terrible. Looks like I won't make the same mistake twice with 3.

Cheers thanks Kevin definitely picking this up.

Get me off the WoW addiction for a while. Might see some of the old Reflex peeps (disbanded etc).

Played it for about 4 hours on PC. The graphics and overall presentation are mint, but the bike still handles like a mule on rails.

If you didn't like the other MXGP games i'd say don't bother, this ain't gonna win you over.

(1.) It's an internet forum so everything sucks.

(2.) I'd bet we have several trolls from MXGP's competitors mucking it up. Count on that....
Well the general consensus of people that have had their hands on the game have said the same things. You be ignorant not to take that on board.

I'll stick give it a crack, thanks to for EB games 7 days money back guarantee.

I didn't really appreciate the MXGP games until I went back and played Reflex. Don't get me wrong I love Reflex, but it's nothing about it is very challenging.

It's an improvement over the last game. I was a bit disapointed scrolling through the gear and stuff since there was barely anything new there, except for now when you get a sponsor you actually get full sponsor graphics which is cool. But gameplay itself is better, you don't crash everytime you're close to someone and overall crashing has been tuned down. I've actually got some really good racing from the CPU riders. And ingame it looks much better than the old game.

After playing last night for about 2 hours, (on PC) I've come to the conclusion that this is the best of the three MXGP's so far. It's better in almost every way. The engine sounds are better, I dare say they're better than any MX game to date. The physics are better. The terrain detail is better. Collision sensitivity is just right. It's more "racey". In MXGP2, you felt like you were walking on egg shells. It was less about racing and more about not getting taken out and not crashing.

Okay, this is going to be a deal breaker for some of you: The whips are still canned, however, the aerial physics are "looser". This isn't as big deal for me as it is for some of you.

The mud/rain races are fun. It's not just a visual effect, the bike handles and hooks up totally different from a dry track. It takes a different approach to get around the track fast.

I disagree strongly with others concerning this: The terrain detail is much improved. Still, some of the tracks that are supposed to be sand look like hard pack, and vice versa. Again, much better than 1&2 but not perfect. The ruts are also not just a visual effect. If you can get in a rut you will rail a corner (oh, and the inside corner is still legit in this game unlike MXvsATV).

As others have pointed out, the game seems faster, but not "arcadey". The speed doesn't take away from the realism of the game, it just seems to make it more fun. I always say this, and end up regretting it later, but the AI is improved. It's "smarter" and faster. No more getting taken out in the inside line. If you get there first and establish it, it's yours. I got taken out only twice in about 10 motos but both times I had it coming.

The bad: Still can't figure out what the devs are thinking when designing the airborne physics. I know they are trying to keep the game play more realistic, but there's got to me a happy medium. In a lot of ways, I feel like I'm still playing MXGP2 in terms of the overall layout of the game as a whole, not a lot of new interface.

Is this game worth $50? If you are a fan of the series, absolutely. If you're a MXvsATV disciple...no. I will say this, and I know I'll get some backlash, but what the hell. If "Reflex" is supposed to be the standard bearer for MX games (according to some, and I'll include myself, I guess) then MXGP3 is as close to that as I've seen thus far.

Played a good while on this now. It is certainly a lot different, so any of you that are hesitant about buying this game in case it's​ the same as the first 2, don't be.

For me, pros and cons so far are :

Pros:
Bikes sound better than they did in MXGP2

The track deformation is excellent, and the way you can use the ruts it's awesome

Cons:
Some of the tracks are garbage. I don't know what the hell they did to Matterley Basin, it's pretty bad, which is a shame because it was pretty close on MXGP2. Also, some jumps that are big jumps in real life are just tiny and pathetic on the game

The rider customisation is good and some new gear brands have been added, but on the whole the gear on there is the same gear that was on MXGP2. No new Fox/Thor stuff etc.

It's not as good to play in POV mode as the other two were, which I kind of expected, but is still disappointing

Me too, just used it for the first time! They made the game (tracks) so nontechnical that I was bored after one lap. I still prefer MXGP2!
