    A bold experiment, but one that ends up being a heap of cynical, misguided half-game. [Issue#206, p.86]

    I'd like to say that MX vs. ATV Alive is a game for motocross purists, but I feel even that is a stretch. It's just not a very good game, even at the budget price.

    That said Alive comes across as rushed and to be honest, could probably have been released as a DLC pack to Reflex. Terrible career mode unlock system and progression combined with difficult and frustrating handling means this game will only appeal to fans of the MX vs. ATV series.

    The only thing that can possibly be complimented with Alive would be a few vague ideas with the potential for fun; but grading on those alone is hardly enough. Whatever the game could have been is smothered in the dirt.

Although it has less content than previous games, the price definitely offsets that. As more of a casual gamer, I don't care about a lot of deep content. I mainly want to race tracks and go online, and it offers that. The best part for me, however, is the Rider XP mode. Being able to level up and equip rider skills makes it a lot more engaging, and it'll be cool to use them online against other people. Hopefully more skills are coming via DLC… Full Review »

Or you have never actually raced Motocross yourself and have no clue. This game is to date the only game I ever finished 100%trophys wise as I was so excited to get it even before I'd finished reflex. I never got to unlock alot of the online achievments for reflex cuz I was too busy playing this on. It's not as good as reflex controls but it's a super close 2nd so that makes it the second best kx game in existence… Full Review »
