    Considering Rainbow Studios' pedigree of excellent motocross and off-road racers, it isn't a shocker that MX vs. ATV Untamed delivers everything you'd hope for from the first next-gen iteration of the franchise. [Jan 2008, p.84]

    MX Vs. ATV Untamed may not shine like a next-gen star, but it sure plays like one.

    MX vs. ATV Untamed is a solid game, but one that will eventually lose its hold on you. If you haven't played an offroad racer in a while, this is the one to get, but don't hold your breath for something that will entertain you for hours and hours on end.

    MvA doesn’t do anything wrong per se, it’s just not the game that’s going to bring new fans over to the sport of motocross.

    If you didn't get weened on the genre by Rainbow Studios' previous installments, there's little reason to start now with better offerings already available elsewhere.

    It ticks all the boxes for those fans though, with only the slightly underwhelming visuals likely to disappoint.

    A passionless racing cocktail that’ll fail to start your engine.

    I have played through both MX Unleashed and MX vs ATV unleashed and MX VS ATV is just as fun with a few more features and events with I have played through both MX Unleashed and MX vs ATV unleashed and MX VS ATV is just as fun with a few more features and events with slightly improved graphics. The controls are very good for veterans of these games and as for new comers, you just need to practice because it is a big learning curve at first. The bottom line is this game is fun.… Expand

    Strictly amature Hour! If there is a worse game on the PS3 I've yet to see it. I bought it because I liked the first person view form Strictly amature Hour! If there is a worse game on the PS3 I've yet to see it. I bought it because I liked the first person view form the bikes, but each time you crash it resets to a third person view and you need to press the select button 6 times to get it back! Too late for the next corner. Graphics and frame rate are so bad it looks like a very early PS2 game. Don't get me started about the physics!… Expand
