    The Supercross tracks finally feel like they are in a real stadium. Again, this was absent because of a technological limitation. Thank goodness that barrier has been broken.

    The immense variety in different game modes really helps to keep the game fresh, and the excellent arcade controls mean that when you end up falling behind the pack, smashing into a wall or screwing up a trick, you rarely feel like it is the game's fault, but your own for not hitting the clutch at the right moment, or for holding the stunt too long.

    Custom Events can be fun, and a few of the game's minor features are nice, but in the off-road racing landscape, MX vs. ATV Untamed just doesn't rev our engines.

    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.

    The game's not realistic enough to satisfy sim fans...and it's too realistic to be as fun as Rainbow's previous games. It tries too hard to be a jack-of-all-trades, and masters almost none.

    Our advice: just save your money and pop in your old copy of "Unleashed". [Jan 2008, p.64]

After years of buying the games, I never found a better game than Untamed. The soundtracks are insane, the gameplay is good, the maps are very huge and you can do a lot of things. The couch coop mode is very good too, I had a lot of fun with my best friend when I was young. Im so happy that Xbox put the game for the next game console. Highly recommend the game.

    Have you seen all the features of this game? The minigames alone rank up with Dirt and Motorstorm. Heck, jsut try to freeride in motorstorm. Have you seen all the features of this game?

    I quite liked the previous FURY/MXU games but this one just feels like it's stuck in the past. The demo on LIVE is so dated, it looks I quite liked the previous FURY/MXU games but this one just feels like it's stuck in the past. The demo on LIVE is so dated, it looks and plays just like the old games, offering nothing you'd expect from a 360 title. I mean, compare this game to the likes of PGR4, Forza or even Rallisport Challenge on Xbox 1 and it simply doesn't hold up. These guys really need to rasie the bar as this game is just average. Shame.… Expand

It may still have the same basic mechanics and vehicles, but the track selection in worse and vehicles seem to handle and drive worse. As far as track selection goes, there are far less track selection than in the PS2 Unleashed release. Career mode is just as basic as they could make it. Maybe its just me, but this game doesn't have the soul that Unleashed had, and for that, I rate it a 2/10.… Expand
