    It's quick, responsive, reasonably over-the-top and keeps you playing for longer than you might expect. [Issue#220, p.81]

    Think: a cheaper, slightly nastier version of 2008's Pure, and you're not too far off the track. [July 2012, p83]

    A good, solid game. Looks good, plays good, is good. But, if you've bought any racing game in the last few years, any game at all, Mad Riders probably doesn't offer anything you haven't got already.

    Quite a frantic arcade racer that genre lovers will like. However, it is a bit monotonous and its tracks reuse a lot of sections. It also lacks a split-screen multiplayer option, but still it is a fun game at a very affordable price.

    Mad Riders is not a bad game. It has some truly fun moments that remind me of the best arcade racers. The unfortunate part is that there are a lot of games that are simply better than Mad Riders. The game is cheap enough, at $10, that those who are interested in off road racing should consider checking it out. All others should probably look elsewhere for their racing needs.

    In a weird way, Mad Riders is a game that seems to have too many different race types. The fact is that the game seems to be at its best when the event is just a simple race.

    Once it gets going and the tricks begin to unlock, Mad Riders is extremely fast and quite fun. There are several niggles that drag this racer down, though, such as the slow introduction of stunts and the harsh quickness of some respawns which directly opposes the multi-pathed style of the courses, and it never really does enough out of the ordinary to live up to its title.

    Mad Riders has many of the problems of the previous game and there isn't anything that stands out. In addition, the gameplay is a little boring.

    Dont buy it!You will play for 1 hour.The game froze 3 times in that one hour period,forcing me to plug out the power from my PS3,and now iDont buy it!You will play for 1 hour.The game froze 3 times in that one hour period,forcing me to plug out the power from my PS3,and now i cannot even start the game,because i probably corrupted the save file.I start now the game and the only thing it shows me is a black screen.I tried to rebuild database,but nothing is happening. Otherwise it can be a good game,but how can you play it when there is not even a patch for this problem?I checked Techland website,and they even didn't listed the game in they library.Imagine how "important" the game is for them.They even dont want to remember it.… Full Review »

    Easily the best offroad racing game out there. I play it on PC but the game is basically the same on all consoles minus the graphic tweaks. IEasily the best offroad racing game out there. I play it on PC but the game is basically the same on all consoles minus the graphic tweaks. I cannot believe the low scores. The game is like MotorStorm: PR without all the vehicles and better graphics at least on PC. The jumps are insane in this game and remind of SSX of old times. Way off base here giving this 10 dollar title a 6. Go back to COD you tards. I got the DLC and game on Steam for 4 bucks and you can find sales on XBL and PSN as well. Full 10 because it's cheap and damn near a full game off road style. A lot of love was put into these tracks. The tournies have the usual Stunt, Clock, Race, etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this game. Insane air and tons of variety with the DLC. I thought they did the island theme about as good as it can possibly be done for DL title.… Full Review »
