Motorcross Mania 3

Newsflash! This game is just plain ordinary and there is very little to redeem it, not even it's budget level price that it's coming into the country on. If you want to skip the mere two paragraphs I am giving this game then just look at the screenshots in horror and close this review.

Ok here goes. Motocross meets Bloodsport and you all get to hit each other. There is some crap story associated with it but I am not going to be boring you with it, I simply refuse to. This game looks bad, plays bad and just is bad. Oh there is Live gameplay but you'll be banging this up on eBay trying to fang it off to some other schmuck before you get the chance to try that out. There are points during gameplay that you genuinely cannot work out what is on the screen. Controls are ordinary and you'll be finding it hard to play this game with any real degree of competency.

Put simply this game never really had that much going for it in the first place. It's a shame as with a bit of thought there could have been something a bit fun for the crowd, but the end result is a slapped together game. I know that some people, including the industry might argue that its starting price justifies the quality but I disagree. It happened with the Playstation then the Playstation 2 and now it's the XBox's turn to cop the drek of anyone with a Developer's Kit. Bah, and Humbug.
