Ride 3 Review

Things you need to know: its an arcade racer with simulation aspirations, its aimed at people with an interest in motorcycles, and its not as bad as you may think. If you are looking for a realistic simulation of motorcycle riding and competition you probably will find yourself disappointed, but if you expect to be disappointed you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. That was a weird sentence to write as much as it was to read, but it sums up the game nicely.

Ride 3 is developed by Milestone and in the past that would have been a warning light. However, Milestone have improved somewhat over time and not all their products are awful cash-ins any more. Some of them are competent games in their own right and some are actually very good indeed, such as their Isle of Man TT Racing game. So don’t dismiss it outright just because its Milestone. It seems Leopards really can change their spots, if only a little bit. Maybe shift them a millimetre.

Ride 3 comes with a new game engine (Unreal), so that means new graphics and new physics. Both are good but not great – the tracks feel a little flat and uninspiring, and the riders are way too wooden to look convincing. You can see they’ve made an effort, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

The controls are very similar to previous versions with an enormous dead zone on your controller you can drive a bus through. With this deadzone subtle control changes are not going to happen unless you install a freeware piece of software that will remap the deadzone (see the forums for details).

The AI is arcade-racer-lite. Its very, very hard to get motorcycle AI right, but so much criticism has been levelled at the AI by users that you feel that it is definitely a bone of contention. Some of the problem is that the Balance of Performance between motorcycles has been poorly implemented with some races unwinnable unless you have the right bike. But the right bike can often only be obtained by unlocking it by winning other races, which in turn need other bikes to have been unlocked previously to win, make it a puzzle-game as much as a racer.
