    While a few annoying quirks threaten to get in the way, overall this is definitely more of the same.

    There's a steeper visual disparity between this and the HD-gen versions than many multiplatform games, partly because Rainbow wasn't behind the development of this version. However, if you're not interested in how modern a game looks or feels and you just want to go big now, you'll probably enjoy Untamed.

    Nothing that raises the pulse or even peaks the interest. [Mar 2008, p.78]

    There are some solid modes here but the graphics and gameplay don't support the experience enough for it to matter.

    Now that I've had to time to think about it, it seems that the only reason that MX vs. ATV Untamed for the PS2 exists is to force players to purchase the superior version on the superior PS3 system.

    The technical departments, the visuals and audio, bring this ship down before it even left the port.

    Call me nostalgic, but even with Untamed's officially licensed music, the racing sponsors and celebrity endorsements, I'd rather play a round of Excitebike any day.

So many customs and things to do, clearly the best mx game, comparing to the more recent games of the franchise it's kinda bizarre to compare, because that one had so much more content that the new ones, it's sad to know that mx games are being mediocre with the time… Full Review »
