New Game-Play Mode for MotoGP 3 Announced

THQ just announced that the upcoming MotoGP 3 will deliver the most significant upgrade to the MotoGP franchise yet with an all-new game-play mode. The addition of Extreme Mode brings street racing to the title, allowing players to race on city streets around the world or as a rider on the MotoGP circuit.

Originally released in 2002, MotoGP introduced thrill-seeking game players to an adrenaline-filled racing experience. This first title was followed with the release of MotoGP 2 in 2003, one of the first titles to feature Xbox Live. MotoGP 3 will feature 16 new tracks in Extreme Mode along with 16 new bikes. The races in Extreme Mode will span urban streets in Japan to the country roads of France, set at different times in varying weather conditions. In territories outside of the USA and Canada, this game will be known as MotoGP: Ultimate Racing Technology 3. The game is slated for release in May 2005 for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and on PC. www.thq.com.
