    Shovelware. That's what this is. The experience is as minimal as possible and reminds of the games that used to be bundled with video cards back in the 1990s. As tech tests, they were not bad. As games, they were mediocre. Monster Energy Supercross game is mediocre at best, and usually frustratingly terrible.

The experience is as minimal as possible and reminds of the games that used to be bundled with video cards back in the 1990s. As tech tests, they were not bad. As games, they were mediocre. Monster Energy Supercross game is mediocre at best, and usually frustratingly terrible.

    The core gameplay is minimal. You ride a bike on a dirt track in a stadium. There are jumps and bumps like you expect from supercross. There is no contour to the dirt track, no particle effects or other indication of flying dirt. Physics are minimal. For example, landing from a long jump does not affect the bike's shocks. The machine is as rigid as any game from 20 years ago. A reverse time mechanic from The GRID lets you fix mistakes, and I quickly found that winning was easy if I was willing put up with time reversal for every mistake.

    The controls are simply terrible. One stick controls bike steering and another controls bike leaning. They could be combined because turning and leaning go together when playing a bike based videogame. Further pushing finger dexterity, one button controls front brakes and one controls rear brakes. This might tickle a supercross enthusiast, but I would rather have a simpler, more fun control scheme. When making such a low quality game, why not have options that appeal to a larger audience? (Because the developers of these niche titles were probably given a fixed budget.)

    Outside of the core gameplay, the menu system is frustrating to the point where I every moment outside of a race is excruciating torture. For starters, you have to hit X about 20 times to start a race and to end a race and go back to the menu. Each menu screen has its own load times, which is ridiculous for such a low parity game. Players can pick their racers and bikes in a system that provides micro-transactions, and all of the racers have the lowest fidelity faces, gear, and bikes I have seen this generation. The game as a whole would be better if it had no menu system, and players went from race to race.

    The game may have been redeemed by its track editor. I like the idea of track editor and love the idea that community made tracks can give old games new life. But not here. Just look at any of the 7000 pages of community tracks, that aren't searchable, and you can see the limitations. The tools do not allow for making interesting tracks, and all tracks will be in a stadium at night. (Again, I can see the fixed budget. The developer was probably told: make a supercross game, include famous supercross racers, have microtansactions, include on-line play, and include a track editor. Quality doesn't matter.)

    Full disclosure: Monster Energy Supercross is a the PS Plus "free" game for December, 2019. I don't follow supercross. I do like racing games, sometimes. Enthusiasts should be disappointed at the lack of quality. What they should want is a game that will appeal to everyone and bring people into the sport. It certainly looks insane to watch a pack of riders jump their bikes 30 feet into the air. So all-in-all this game does a disservice to the general audience and commits a crime against fans of supercross.    … Expand

    Gave a 1 for graphics. Even though the engine seems outdated. Everything else is garbage.

The graphics is bad when it comes to graphics on games on ps4, i have not played a game with so bad graphics on it and the loading time is way too long for a simple game Like this. I Will not recommend anyone buying this game, it would be the biggest waste of money and isn't even worth it.… Expand

    Milestone created this game using the, Unreal 3 engine which is at least 8 years old and it shows. Do not waste your money on this game! It is an abomination!

    Floating physics
    Lag on starts to the point where the screen freezes
    Insane loading times...60 seconds plus.
    Little to no feed back on controls

    No naked lady. No boobs. No **** No big hungy bungy booty. Holy frick am I disappointed, and as a loyal racer I’m dissatisfied with this game just how my wife is disappointed with my little boy genitalia. Very bad game. When I crack my monster energy and fire up a motocross game I expect vagina and tid when I cross the finish line. No exceptions. 0/10 you cuck losers.

This games is just so bland and you could tell there was not even a regular amount of effort effort put into it. From the bugs and glitches, long loading times, laughable racer AI, graphics that look like they're from they're from the early to mid ps3 and X360 era and underwhelming/ dated arcade like physics it feels I could say a group of monkeys programmed and developed this. The only thing I got out of the game was the LOLs on how bad it was. Although it's only about 12 GBs don't waste your time downloading it. There are plenty of cheap racing games that are worth the price or you could just play better ones on PS Now.… Expand

    No information on the ***** controls. I had to *** google it and still din't find a jacks crap. The first screen says "...get used to the controls..." and nothing explained. Have no idea when to start. and what to push... no countdown. Some riddling terms and conditions in the beginning i have to accept without reading (rejected) no idea what for. Deleted after 5 minutes.

    PS Plus - why?

    Super buggy physics that dosent allow to enjoy any other aspect of that game. Just wasted 17£ and deleted the game. Mx vs ATV encore from 2014 does everything better than this crap. If u have physical copy with that game i suggest to drown it in Red Bull

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its alright the 2 things I hate is there is no countdown to know when to start the race and some turns that you got even if you are going the right way it say you're not and then it sets you back to like last place… Expand

    Monster energy Supercross is not a game. This is some kind of techno pre-alpha demo version.

    Stop making games and leave this industry alone. Also Monster is the worst energy drink they have on shelves. Quit spreading your poison both figuratively and literally

    Monster Energy Supercross game brings not so globally known sport to gamers. And although true fans of the sport might find this great, the rest will forget this title in the sea of racing video games, as it won’t leave big impact on you. Beside looking good, Monster Energy Supercross offers a bit improved MXGP game, but not improved enough.

    Once more Milestone delivers an adequate driving experience marred by mediocre presentation, A.I., and a lack of a strong career mode.
