RIDE 3 is an extremely versatile racing game, with lots of motorcycles and tracks, bundled in an expansive career mode that's actually fun to play. You'll be playing this one for a long time to come, though unfortunately you'll be spending a lot of time staring at the game's loading screens too.
Ride 3 is the third installment of the bike racing series by Milestone. With 230+ different bikes and up to 30 tracks and a solid physics engine with nice graphics, this game is a real masterpiece for all the bikers, both amateurs and pros.

I Absolutely love this game!
I can't compare it to any of the previous versions, but for any bike lover this is a must have.
One of the biggest complaints I've seen is that it's a grind to get locked bikes etc. I would say this is a result of our fast-food generation of instant gratification. This game takes me back to the good old days of Gran Turismo where you actually had to earn the cars you drove and that in itself was part of the experience making it more special.
My only issue is with the occasional invulnerability of opponents to be knocked off and the unlimited number of rewinds which makes it too easy at times. Other than that great game.
I love the structure of it all career especially. Improvements can definitely be made but would only make it a better 10 in my eyes.
Oh and more interesting trophies would make my Platinum a bit sweeter.

Seriously?
Just to give a little background. I have been riding motorcycles since the mid-80's. I currently ride a Ducati Monster. I watch & have watched all forms of motorcycle racing including MotoGP religiously since before it was called 'MotoGP'. I have purchased just about every game ever made on the subject since the days of the Sega Master System and Nintendo. I say all of this to let you know that I am not some kid picking up this game as 'just another racing game'. Here are a few points I would like to highlight:
1. If you don't ride motorcycles or at least have an interest in them, this is not the game for you.
2. Anyone rating this game below an 8? See point #1.
3. While not perfect, this is the best motorcycle based game ever made. Add in more bikes from the 60s-80s and you would actually be getting closer to a perfect score.
4. The physics of the game are outstanding and the best yet.
5. Graphics are not on par with Forza, but they are nevertheless fantastic...again, best yet for a motorcycle game.
6. Customizations are very **** I personally would like to be able to put a Yosh on a Honda...a Muzzy on a ****.
All in all, this game is fantastic if you have a love for two wheels. Is it really a 10? No...that's just to counter the morons who would give this game anything below an 8.

The amount of aesthetic and mechanical customizations is at historic highs, just as incredible as the number of vehicles and classes that make up the last Milestone work.
Ride 3 is the only option for bike lovers. The passage to Unreal is a new start for the franchise and the high volume of the content is a great plus. It's a pity that AI and Physics aren't always perfect and the career mode is as entertaining as it is long.
Ride 3 feels like Gran Turismo with bikes, especially with the updated graphics and physics thanks to the Unreal Engine 4. We only regret that the AI is one of the worse we've ever seen, and that Milestone already offers 3 DLC packs on launch day.
If you were expecting Ride 3 to be the perfect fusion of quality and quantity of content, then I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for you: An adequate sequel that has more bugs in it than your helmet visor after a breakfast run, almost no soul to its racing spirit and the bare minimum of fun spread throughout its sporadic modes. The third time definitely isn’t the charm for Ride 3.
While it packs in more content than its predecessors, RIDE 3 feels soulless and nonessential if you already own last year’s instalment.
We don’t have a lot of option when it comes to motorcycle games. All my family are into motorbikes include me, so to be honest I feel blessed to have Milestone in the past fell years, even with this game being not perfect I try to support (Milestone) as many as I can, to see more devs interested in this genre.

Really fun motorbike game, and besides Moto GP the only one available on Playstore. The physics are quite realistic, from what I've heard not as much as Isle of Man TT, but leaning in the curves is really fun. Graphics are beautiful, but the sound definitely lacks some bass, even when connected to my amp. That's why I'm giving it only 7, cause sound is important for a motorbike game.
All together it's fun, if you're into motorbikes and have the perseverance to deal with the high difficulty.

Forza meets Motorbikes but with occasional bugs and too little possibility to adjust difficulty to your skill level. It’s still the best motorbike game (or is it MotoGP? Same developer and clearly technically similar so doesn’t matter much; just depends on taste) but it’s not Forza, it’s not GT Sport but it’s similar level quality to Assetto Corsa and Project Cars. If you accept that, go for it, but don’t expect AAA quality or you’ll be disappointed.

Good graphics and sound let down by rubbish AI, sluggish handing and no ability to adjust FOV. The cockpit views feel zoomed out, like I'm sitting on the pillion seat.

Let's get the good things out there first, the game looks beautiful, the campaign is the best in the series and the track list is really solid.
Now with that said overall I am very unimpressed with the game. My biggest issue is the AI, AI players feel like they've come from a ps2 era game, hell even gran turismo on the ps1 had better feeling AI than this game. Some tracks they are just completely incompetent and I'm able to get a 10 second lead after just a few corners, anything with a long sweeping corner they loose several seconds as they awkwardly try and manage their speed yet in the straights and off the line you will almost always be at a disadvantage so the actual difficulty is down to their behavior and the track this makes some race's a complete cake walk even if the highest difficulty settings and others do difficult you have to drop the difficulty or just be left in the dust. There isn't strong rubberbanding which is nice, instead the lead AI will just gap the pack immediately and go off into his own race, I've had 3 lap races where the gap between myself and 1st is 10 seconds and then the next AI is over 40 seconds behind me and all of this makes the game feel unbalanced and robotic. Next is the sound design, the music menus and road noises are all great but some of the bike noises are just so awful that I actually had to turn the sound off when using certain bikes. The best example I can give is the KTM 390 RC it sounds like an uninspired biplane with a cold. Overall I'm very underwhelmed with the game with bikes being locked behind the campaign (which would be fine if the AI was up to par) the game just feels like a rushed out mess and is just overall worse than its predecessor (Ride 2). When I'm playing a time attack with one of the bikes that has good sound design its great but the rest of the time I feel like I'm just tolerating the game rather than enjoying it.
