Summary
Moto Racer 4 tries its best to reanimate the long lost Moto Racer series. Ultimately, however, the game feels unfinished, bug-ridden and has a few gameplay elements that will leave you scratching your head. The career mode includes a decent variety of game modes but as the action feels too similar, (using wheelie after wheelie to succeed) coupled with generic locations, it becomes a repetitive and uninspired experience which is punctured by the occasional moment of satisfaction.
