    Dirt Bike rider and Game enthusiast. I've been a fan of the MX Vs ATV franchise for approx 5 years. When I heard that THQ was closing down after Alive, I thought 'good, they deserve it after butchering an awesome game'. Also cheesed because I bought it under the impression that there would be heaps of add-ons which never came after closure.

When I heard that THQ was closing down after Alive, I thought 'good, they deserve it after butchering an awesome game'. Also cheesed because I bought it under the impression that there would be heaps of add-ons which never came after closure.

    So when I heard it was being bought back, I was a little sceptical. After reading they would be going back to some of the Reflex days more, I got a little more excited. Racing split screen with my mates on this game had been some of the best racing I had ever had.

    So, after hearing they would be using real tracks and real bikes - even more excited.

    When the game first came out and I jumped on, I was initially very displeased. The bike couldn't be whipped and movement in the air and on the track seemed impossible. It just seemed, bland and boring.

    However, after realising the controls were a little different (hello clutch button and right stick pump option) and the difficulty levels and bikes ridden all made significant difference, it all got better from there.

    To the point where I can say, I LOVE THIS GAME. I am having soooomuch fund riding against mates on my YZ450,

    A few negatives:
    - still no replay. Why not?
    - having to go through and re-setup a Private Session' needs to be done after all tracks have been raced. Cannot just change tracks or hit restart, you need to set supercross, vehicle types etc.. all again.
    - why maximum of 5 tracks per session?
    - unable to see rider suits when selecting rider in Multiplayer.

    Apart from these finicky things, definitely best of the franchise.

    My mate bought xbox360 on weekend just for this game!    … Expand

    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]

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

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