    If you’re a fan of the series, MX vs. ATV: Supercross is worth a look, especially for the $30 price of admission. But if you’re a regular racing fan looking to scratch your itch within the genre, you’re better off looking somewhere else.

    My time with Mx VS ATV: Supercross was unexpectedly fun, and for fans of MX Supercross it seems like a no-brainer.

    It’s not surprising that MX vs ATV Supercross was released as a budget title. The amount of gameplay and unlockable content is good, but it is hard to drive your way through all of the necessary tracks without getting a bit bored.

    Those who enjoyed past entries will enjoy this one and get a kick out of the new right-stick jumping and aiming mechanic. Beyond that, there hasn’t been much added to the mix beyond superficial customization options.

    A sobering comeback of a once more than decent offroad franchise that doesn’t deliver the content or variety of older iterations.

    It doesn't take the series any step further, and pretty much everything in it is mediocre.

    The legacy of "Alive" and "Reflex" is not represented in this attempt that should have probably been a digital only release.

    After a few months, the price is bound to drop well below current asking price and make its way to the $10 and lower bin.

    Not fixing the irritating failures of past games, however, is inexcusable at this point and indicates a game produced only to sell a few units in the Christmas rush. [Issue#156, p.124]

    Ugly, limited and significantly worse than previous games in the series. [Issue#118, p.86]

    I really do not like this game. When I went out to buy it, but little did I know that it was complete crap. I hate the races and the controlsI really do not like this game. When I went out to buy it, but little did I know that it was complete crap. I hate the races and the controls and the soundtrack. The events are basic and boring, the controls feel like a step back from a MX Vs. ATV Reflex because which is a game from 2009, and the soundtrack could've been great because Linkin Park released the Hunting Party, Rise Against released the Black Market. Instead, they went with generic-sounding motocross music.

    One of the best parts of about the MX Vs. ATV series was the ragdoll physics. MX Vs. ATV Untamed had amazing ragdoll physics that didn't cut out until you stopped. This game shows you a second of ragdoll physics, then it puts you back on your bike.

    The only positive is that the series seems to be starting back up again.    … Full Review »

    This is quite possibly the worst MX Vs. ATV game ever. The main two problems are the glitches and the physics. This game is FULL of glitchesThis is quite possibly the worst MX Vs. ATV game ever. The main two problems are the glitches and the physics. This game is FULL of glitches and the physics make it worse. Those two things ruin the game for me. (BTW let me ask you a question: Do you like whips or scrubs? Yes? Well, either download the Whip DLC or grind and grind for hours on end until you get it. Have fun!)… Full Review »

    Dirt bike racing is a very a competitive and tough sport to be involved in, with very tight corners, high jumps and awkward ground to race on.Dirt bike racing is a very a competitive and tough sport to be involved in, with very tight corners, high jumps and awkward ground to race on. MX vs ATV captures it wonderfully, but with a slight few hitches that unfortunately takes away from the games nostalgia.

    The game features the usual modes that you’d see in many racing games nowadays, but one I do like is the free ride mode, which allows you to master the tracks at your own time and pace, very handy for those looking to play online and need the upper hand on opponents.

    The career mode features some great customization for riders, and can also fine tune your gear with colours and patches to make your rider authentic. As you play through the career, you’ll unlock more gear and more bike upgrades which will become essential when the difficulty increases.

    The graphics in the game are great; the tracks are very well detailed and look great in high definition. Being able to see the dirt tracks darken as riders slide through is neat and they don’t reset unlike some racers tend to do. The details on the riders are fine, as with the many different colours on the outfits, you’d think that the detailing may have dumbed down during races. While this looks great, the background crowd and the bikes themselves look a little bit flat, and the bikes don’t get dirtier the more laps you do.

    Physics in the game tend to be a lot stiffer than previous games in the series, while making a jump, it’s very hard to control your bike if its starts steer off course, which can cause a lot of problems if you mistime your jump. On the other hand, cornering has been made easier, but rather than drifting the usual way, the back end tends to kick out, with the camera angles lagging behind a second as you’re racing off. There also seems to be a generic landing animation from a jump, which can look a little odd if you’re landing at an angle and your bike and rider are perfectly straight.

    Overall I think the game is great, it is competitive, fun and has paid attention to detail in the customization department. Unfortunately it is a little let down by the physics in some places and some new bikes rather than the ones recycled from its past game under a new name. Full Review @ItsMuchMore    … Full Review »
