Moto Racer Collection Reviews

Moto Racer 1 Works but stutters hard every time there is bigger change in speed. Moto Racer 2 Doesn't work, says it needs 16bit screen mode and just starts in ridiculous small resolution but the game has bigger one so it just shows nothing but enlarged number 2. Moto Racer 3 Terrible game but it works. Moto Racer 15h Anniversary Does work but it is not even widescreen and the graphics don't seem any better what you have in first game, I would even argue first game looked and played way better than this. If at least the first game worked without any issues I would be recommending this because of the low price alone, especially on sale, but as it stands I just can't.

The Moto Racer Collection includes the legendary Moto Racer, that I have played with an 3dfx Voodoo card on the PC over 20 years ago. A simple, but fun arcade racer, that impressed with its high speed and great responsiveness. Just race and have fun. While the Steam edition of Moto Racer works on 64bit Windows 10 out of the box with poor SW rendering, but applying the patch from the Guide section greatly improves the experience by enabling D3D or glide. On 64bit Windows 10, the Moto Racer 2 requires another patch to run at all (see Guide section). Both games support (digital) game controllers (or keyboard). A Xbox 360 controller with analog controls is not well working. Moto Racer 3 works out of the box and supports analog game controllers. Moto Racer 15th ANNIVERSARY is the port of a mobile phone game. Not as good as the classic series. It aims to be more realistic, but is rather disappointing, much less fun. I have bought the entire collection at just $1, a real bargain.

Having only ever played two tracks of Moto Racer original on the Total Arcade 98 demo CD as a kid, it was a godsend to find the full game here on steam. Who can forget the classic first track, Speed Bay! And for some reason I really enjoy the menu - "Enter your name, Make your choice, play solo, select your mode , let's go!" "3,2,1, GO!" - soooo 90's! And who can forget: YOU LOST THE RACE. The dirt bike track framerates were really stuttering to the point they were unplayable, but when I lowered the graphics quality that fixed it. Unfortunately the other games are total crap and feel more like you are on a LSD or ketamine trip out. I don't know what they were thinking with those. But overall, worth it for the original. WHOA, WHAT A ROCKET!!!!!!!!!!!

2 of them works fine, but the other two you need to fix yourself Also steam only counts time on the launcher where you choose the game, not on any game you play Moto Racer 1 If you use dgVoodoo2 it works But if you don't have CD rom you need to mount any iso, otherwise game won't work Moto Racer 2 Using dgVoodoo2 fixes the game too, but on races it's in ridiculous small resolution that i don't know how to fix The other two, Moto Racer 3 and 15th aniversary, works fine

MotoRacer - Couldn't get it running at all MotoRacer 2 - Completely unplayable with audio only and a mess of heavily artifacted and broken video MotoRacer 3 - No controller support, only oldschool resolutions MotoRacer 4 - Only oldschool resolutions Tracking down custom wrappers or random .exes / .dlls from questionable at best sources to attempt to run these games properly is not something I should need to do after buying this package. I'm getting sick of companies dumping retro titles onto Steam without the slightest bit of effort in making them playable on current specs.

Almost completely unplayable! You can get some parts of it to work if you tinker with it but even then you will run into major problems. This was a great series, but this collection isn't worth the headache!

This is a [i]collection[/i], so be aware that the original games have not been improved upon. The store page is not ambiguous about that, but I'd rather reiterate because you might have different expectations in this age of HD remakes. Having loved the original Moto Racer back in the day, a straight port was fine by me, except... [b]Moto Racer 1 [i]won't launch[/i][/b] on my machine -- launcher fails to set colour depth. There might be a way around it, like setting my display to 16-bit manually, but I can't be arsed right now. I might put effort into finding a workaround later though, because I recall this one being my favourite. [b]Moto Racer 2[/b] does launch, but there's [b][i]no sound during races[/i][/b], no music or SFX. Plays well, but feels weird because of that. [b]Moto Racer 3 [i]works[/i][/b] (huzzah!). Don't think I played this one back in the day (or not much); it seems less arcadey and fun than the previous two instalments, but that's just my impression after a single race. [b]Moto Racer 15th anniversary[/b] is the most recent entry (you can tell it's modern because you accelerate with the right trigger, not the A button!) and it's [b][i]utter garbage[/i][/b]. Not only does it manage to be uglier than the other, way older entries, but more shamefully it plays poorly. Not the game I cared about anyway, but dang, morbid curiosity is the only reason to bother trying it at all -- and even then I couldn't finish a single lap in a cross race. The way it handles just feels entirely wrong, like someone's first Unity game on XBLIG. So all in all, if I find a way to make sound work in 2 and for 1 to launch at all, maybe I'll spend some time with this, reminiscing. But I cannot recommend it in good faith. [i](Oh, and I spent more than 5 minutes with this -- but Steam only counts time spent in the launcher apparently)[/i]

To get MotoRacer 1 & 2 playing nicely on Windows 10 all you need is dgVoodoo2. Copy all MS\x86 Direct3D DLLs into same folder as game's EXE. Also copy the main dgVoodooCpl.exe into same folder as game's EXE. Run dgVoodooCpl.exe once and click the .\ button to set the current game's folder as the main settings folder. I left everything defaults but you could pick a GeForce4 Ti 4800 card for DirectX. MotoRacer 1 & 2 runs perfectly fine on default settings of dgVoodoo2. Also, MotoRacer 1 & 2 can do online multiplayer. Just need to portforward (unblock) DirectPlay ports on your router. Best played with gamepad with analogue thumbstick (like PS3/4 controller). Set the controller as joystick in MotoRacer 1 settings for this to work.

Got this game on the Week long sale on 20/07/2015. First thing I gotta say, yes, it works. All the games loaded an run. I do agree with other reviews saying that they could have tried to make it more compatible. There are unplayable areas (mostly when you're playing a dirt race with many competitors on screen) and MASSIVE slowdowns... Could be better. Now the biggest reason for the Negative review: they f*** up Moto Racer 2! Why was the great, perfect soundtrack changed? WHY? I do believe I left Moto Racer's 2 CD more time in my Stereo then in the PC, just for how great the soundtrack is. Then I load the game with high expectations for a battery solo to start the video and I get a totally souless music in a new intro video, and then the menu screen hits and where is the beautiful Punk Rock music? This should be advertised as it is on GOG. I would not have spent not even the less then a dollar I did. Total lack of respect with the game fans.

Don't get this collection. I have fond memories of playing MotoRacer in my youth. So getting to play the first one again was a blast (Even if I had to lower the quality of the polygons because I was getting lag) until I made it to the fourth championship where the game told me that I was running an "illegal copy of the game" and I couldn't accelerate. So the steam verion I purchased is running an illegal copy of the game. Not to mention that there are so many issues and bugs with the first and second MotoRacer.
