    MXGP 21 is a tough game to review. Riding on dirt tracks is a much harder thing to simulate than doing so on paved ones. However, one can only judge a game by how much enjoyment it creates. For myself, I was often more frustrated than elated. Though the game includes a bevy of options to make MXGP 21 accessible to everyone, it’s a niche racing genre that will appeal mainly to dedicated fans. The other big knock on this game is the changes from the 2020 version are only incremental.

    MXGP 2021 is a fun game for MXGP fans, but it doesn't even bother to try doing something new.

    There’s no denying that this is the best MXGP release yet. While they’re not particularly sizeable, improvements have been made, and it’s nice to have some new tracks thrown into the mix. Just be aware that if you already own MXGP 2020, MXGP 2021 isn’t going to offer a wildly different experience. It feels more like a refinement or expansion rather than a sequel. Whether that makes it worth the asking price is up to you.

    MXGP 2021 is an interesting hybrid that combines arcade driving with simulation within a complex sport to reproduce at the controls under the same proposal. However, its physics system is capable of the best and the worst at the same time, with a number of game modes that are stuck in the past. MXGP 2021 needs to take real-time terrain variations more seriously, improve its career mode and make Playground a really attractive offering if it wants to take a step forward as a franchise.

ГрафикаНе являюсь любителем мотокросса, но что-то мне подсказывают что фанаты мотоциклетных гонок по грязи не особо в восторге от этой игры. Графика устаревшая, управление тяжелое, поведение мотоцикла странное, трасы однообразные (хоть и взяты с настоящих трасс, но и в реале разнообразием эти трассы не блещут). Ниже среднего, как по мне.… Full Review »

Pretty generic unreal engine game and a bit annoying that you can't ride 250 two strokes as soon as you boot up the game. Also has a double credit pay to win option so there's a negative point or two for that. It could be a lot better if they put in the effort that's for sure. Just adding classic bikes like your CR 500, IT 200 and friends and some enduro racing and they could have had a legendary game here. But I feel the care factor at this company is pretty low. Yet still a decent game. Worth a 6… Full Review »

The graphics are pitiful and the surface looks like a simple texture. I hope that Milestone changes course next year and follows the path of MXGP 2019 and Supercross 2. Incredibly with the Motogp saga it gets better and better.… Full Review »
