As well there are some frustrating graphical errors. Compared to the original, where every single level was totally graphically different, this comes as a shocking step backwards.
The fact that 32 tracks are all based on these same limited themes makes each race graphically tedious. There are 5 of these themes, ranging from the Sahara to Brittania to a big metropolis. The fact that what IS presented is presented quite well is overshadowed by the fact that you will see almost the exact same things on every level with the same "theme". The graphical variation between the levels is absolutely minimal. The tracks themselves, however, are seriously lacking in variety. Environment effects such as rain, snow, and nighttime are present and add variety to the tracks. Still, for some reason they don't look any better than the original. The bikers are large, detailed, colourful and well animated. Overall the engine has been cleaned up and improved over the original, but not to a really significant degree. The graphics in Moto Racer 2 are a mixed bag. While the sequel is nothing to complain about, it does not do justice to its predecessor. Bright colourful graphics were combined with interesting levels, fast paced racing, and tight arcade-like control. Moto Racer was, and still is, one of my favorite racing games. That is why I was looking forward to Moto Racer 2. They should, in theory, take a popular game, improve the graphics/sound/gameplay, and fix the mistakes and shortcomings in the original. Unlike most people, I try to look forward to sequels.
