Our Review

5 /10

The good

Tight and responsive controls.
One of few realistic racers available on the Switch.
Extensive customisation.

The bad

Blurry visuals.
No online multiplayer.
Reduced number of AI opponents.

Summary

If you’re looking for a bike racer on the Switch, MXGP 3 is currently your only choice. It offers a refreshing challenge for experienced players, but its poor presentation, lack of terrain deformation, and absence of multiplayer options make it difficult to recommend. Sadly, this is a shockingly bad port of an otherwise brilliant bike game. This may be Milestone’s first Switch release, but it won’t be the last: rumours suggest future MotoGP games will be ported to the Switch, and the upcoming release of Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame will also soon be available on the system. Let’s sincerely hope they’re better optimised than Milestone’s first Switch effort.
