I liked the first 2, but this one is a huge disappointment. The physics are really messed up and unrealistic, and even the easy levels can be difficult if you are going in blind. Also, it is a bitch to have to deal with starting from the beginning after failing EVERY SINGLE TIME. 1/5

Too dificult to manage the bike in the first 20tries. Is that because I did not played the previous games? Nevertheless, It Isuppose it should be with a better playability in the first place. Great engine, by the way, congratulations.
The bikes do take some getting used to, the mountain bike "MTB" is easier to control than the BMX. Did you try roller coaster track? That one is pretty easy, all you have to do is hold down the up key!

What happened to this game where is all the vehicles the second one was 100 times better than this i would play free rider 2 for a minute instead of playing this for 10 minuets just terrible *facepalm

I'm a fan of the free rider games, but I think this one isn't as good. Before I used to spend my time making fun tracks and trying the different vehicles on them, but now I only have bikes, and with the bikes the wheels always try to leave the ground so I can barely survive on flat ground. This game isn't bad but I think Free Rider 2 was better.
Based on some of the initial feedback we added the track editor to Free Rider 3, if you have any more feedback for us let us know! As for the additional vehicles, over 95% of the tracks created were with bikes, if there is demand for new vehicles or ones from FR2 to be re-added we will consider it.
Larger gameplay window, several performance optimizations over FR2, player saved replays, best time trials, added functionality to track editor, tons of tracks and a full dev team behind it!

I have one question: Where did the truck, hot air balloon, and weird blobby thing go? Love the game, but the different vehicles were my favorite part of FR 2.
We took them out from FR3 because +95% of the tracks were made with MTB / BMX. If demand is high enough we would definitely look to add some new ones back in!
LittleBigDude would you mind helping us understand your bad review by giving some more detail. What mechanics are you having issues with? The physics of the BMX / MTB or something else?

Ok so far this is massively fun, later that may wear off, i was a little disappointed until i got to my first ever jump...and failed. my issue tho is when i'm pedaling on a stright and i just come off my bike... others brillant game
That sounds like the BMX, controls on that one are a little tougher to figure out. Try some tracks with the mountain bike "MTB". Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thanks for the feedback! For FR3 we increased the size of the window, made some performance improvements over FR2, player saved replays, saved time trials and improved the editor. We do have a new version in HTML5 that we plan to release to Kong later this year that will bring more functionality but shhhh don't tell anyone its top secret!

I have been waiting for this moment all my life. At least you can count to three unlike Valve. Portal 1, Portal 2, Half life 1, Half life 2, Team fortress 2

Just when i thougt my math class was hopless...."uh yeah with the use of trajectory we can manipulate the uh dude" "ok A+" ='D
Oh ya, would love to see your replay of "Time Travel", there is no press to win with that track.
Also, note the difficulty level in the description first couple tracks are easier to get the hang of the physics but get progressively difficult.
Also, also, all tracks are player generated so some like to make easier runs and some like to make impossibly difficult.
But like I said would love to see your Time Travel replay!

We Ride Together, We Die Together. FR3 4 Lif3!
I'm not sure how Free Rider 3 skills translate to a real bike, I will report back soon. Something tells me this is going to go well...
Well many would argue the unicycle in FR2 is the most unsteady bike they have ever seen! The BMX is a little tricky to get the hang of, did you try one of the tracks that use the Mountain Bike "MTB"?
Thanks for taking the time to check out FR3! We made a few optimizations over FR2 and added a bunch of new features like saving best times and replays. If you have any specific issues or additional comments let us know! Thanks again.
