For the experienced racer, there is a legend difficulty mode to ensure any skill level is challenged. The racetracks are beautifully modeled in this game, with convincing details and predictable and realistic feeling dynamics and physics.

For the more casual gamers, they will most likely spend their time in Extreme mode. Similar to the Need for Speed racing franchise, MotoGP 3 allows you to purchase your own bike and tune it to your specifications.

Overall, the two different game modes will appeal to all walks of racing drivers.

Anyone else will have a blast in the Extreme mode, where chaos and wide-open speeds rule.
