    A successful rendition of Supercross, with spectacular visuals and a deep gameplay. Too bad for the performance problems with stutters at the beginning of every race.

    Monster Energy Supercross isn’t the best game that we’ve seen from Milestone, but it’s certainly well worth a visit. Despite some problems with the framerate, and issues with the difficulty of play, there’s hours of fun to be had here. That being said, this is a game that demands perseverance. Lesser patient players may find this more frustrating than it’s worth.

    Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame may not be quite as fulfilling as it was expected to be, but it is still a capable racer that has enough in the tank to provide at least a couple of hours enjoyment at a time.

    Milestone has a solid footing with Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame. If the team offers continual support that carries over to new titles, this series has the potential to be something special. While it has a few bugs and nagging issues that need to be ironed out, none of them are game-breaking. Capturing the feel of the pre-race and post-race festivities is an aspect that other racing games are behind on. The visuals, especially the lighting, stand out but the immersion gets brought back to earth due to some inconsistent physics from a graphics engine that’s normally geared for shooters and adventure games along with some other graphical hiccups. Most important is the fact that Milestone has brought back an officially-licensed AMA Supercross game for the world to play.

    Monster Energy Supercross does a lot of things to impress then, but its lacklustre career mode takes a lot of shine out of the proceedings. If you're a fan of the sport you'll find a lot here to like, what with its worthy selection of real world tracks and bikes. And mechanically, it plays rather well too. I'm just not sure how much you'll get out of the title before it no longer excites, despite the presence of a track editor and countless customisation items to unlock. It's undoubtedly the best Supercross game I've ever played, but it still falls short of real greatness.

    Monster Energy Supercross - The official video game is a speed title with many game modes but with important technical deficiencies.

    Once you get past the steep learning curve in Monster Energy Supercross, you'll find a challenging and fun to play game. The game has solid gameplay, but unfortunately there are quite a few bugs and visual glitches affecting the game.

    Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame certainly captures the atmosphere and the essence of the high-adrenaline sport. The arenas are well-crafted reproductions of their real-life counterparts, and out on the track, the bikes and riders look decent. It gets slowed by jarring moments such as strangely routine lag or sometimes frustrating handling and physics. There is a feeling of the game being not quite finished, with a little polishing still needed in places. That all said, when it works, it works well and there is plenty of content to keep players entertained, especially with the advent of community created tracks. In short, it feels one patch shy of being a great racing title.

    In my opinion Milestone has done well with their games in this genre. Thankfully Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame holds upIn my opinion Milestone has done well with their games in this genre. Thankfully Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame holds up and I feel this may be Milestone’s best motocross game yet. When it comes to the gameplay this game tries to create a very realistic experience and without a doubt they succeed in creating this experience because everything feels smooth and responsive throughout. In terms of content the game has more than enough to keep you occupied for quite a while. Each mode has had a lot of effort put into it and this makes the racing a very enjoyable and interesting affair. The only problematic mode so to speak is when the game was played online. I suffered with a few problems when playing this way, but it’s early days here so I’m prepared to wait and see how things develop in the coming weeks. What the game does really well is that it allows you a great deal of freedom and you can chop and change things to your heart’s content. There are an abundance of customisation options for you to get to grips with and plenty of unlockables for you to unlock along the way, which is great. Without a doubt my favourite thing about the game was the track editor. The track editor works really well and you can create a number of different tracks, which is both fun and also makes the game have a lot of replayability. This game doesn’t suffer with many problems but I would like to see them bring out a patch to sort out the framerate issues because this does make the game become frustrating from time to time. The presentation side of the game on the whole exceeded my expectations. Visually the game can look awesome at times and the sound design does a great job of creating an immersive and realistic experience. At the end of the day I think Milestone have done a very good job here and in my opinion I can only see this game growing over time, which is what I’ve always wanted in a motocross game. They’ve managed to keep the problems to a minimum and most important of all they’ve made things feel as realistic and fun as possible. If you’re a fan of these types of games then you will thoroughly enjoy your time with Monster Energy Supercross and if you’ve never played a game like this before then there is no better place to start.… Full Review »

Not that that's a bad thing, but I guess apart from a different roster (I honestly wouldn't notice, I just enjoy racing games, I no nothing of the actual "sport") it's the same game. The reason this get's a slightly lower score than usual is for 2 reasons:
    1, HORRENDOUS LOADING TIMES. Seriously it takes a good 2-3 minutes to load 1 track, Forza Horizon can load a whole world in the same time and then that's it. This has the load screen everytime you do a race, even if you're restarting a race, it has to load the same track again... What the **** takes so long, seriously it's dreadful.
    2, It has a very dumb grinding glitch, where you don't have to race most or even any races if you don't want. If you start and press "retire from race" you still get points for finishing and you will more than likely still come 1st, even on the higher difficulties. Now I had played through most of both 250 careers before I noticed this, so I still played a good portion of the game, but after you work that exploit out, you're going to use it aren't you!?
    If you don't mind being able to read a short novel in the loading times and just want to play a game that's the same as any one of these games, then go for it.    … Full Review »

The jumps feel somewhat realistic, and while the rider movement still isn't quite to the natural level I'd like to see and the AI difficulty still isn't much of a challenge, it's a fun game to play for Supercross fans. However, the career mode needs a huge overhaul in the next installment for this series to have any longevity.… Full Review »
