Plan your next MXGP3 - The Official Motocross Videogame session
Our independent guide breaks down MXGP3’s core pillars—licensed championship data, extensive customisation, Unreal Engine 4 visuals, multiplayer structure, and Steam integration—so you can evaluate each aspect against your preferences and hardware without relying on marketing hype.
01 / THE GUIDE
Track Authenticity Review
Select an in‑game track, compare its layout to official 2016 circuit diagrams, and note any visual or structural differences. This helps gauge how faithfully the game reproduces each venue.
- Check the in‑game rider list against the 2016 season roster for verification.
- Compare the track names in the menu with the official 2016 circuit list.
02 / THE GUIDE
Component Impact Test
Choose three distinct bike components from the 300‑item pool, install them, and run a short practice lap. Record the visual results to see how each part changes your bike's appearance.
- Mix different components to create your own bike and rider look.
- Test each 2‑stroke bike on a short lap to notice its audio cues.
03 / THE GUIDE
2‑Stroke Bike Comparison
Ride each of the ten 2‑stroke bikes on the same track segment, focusing on sound and reaction cues. Rank them based on distinctiveness to guide future bike selection.
- Observe how dust trails follow the bike to gauge surface interaction.
- Notice lighting changes when moving from open sections to shaded areas.
