    The title is quite expansive and you'll definitely be surprised by it just like I was.

    It’s fast, fun, can be enjoyed by yourself or with friends online, and has enough customisation and track variation to keep me entertained for hours to come. It could have been improved by real bikes and a greater variation in music, but this is a minor chink in the armour of this wonderful game.

    The heart of MX Nitro is fast, fluid, and exciting. Many levels provide a tough but fair challenge with a physics model on which you can rely — crucial to the game's merits. Unfortunately, it's bogged down by some strange design decisions, lackluster customization, and sparse online modes that ultimately add up to something uneven. Getting on the bike and trying again and again can be fun for a while, but eventually you may find it's best to put it back in the garage and find something that doesn't break your spirit as much as your avatar's body.

    In a genre monopolised by the Trials series, MX Nitro can’t quite compete on the same level, but it gets points for trying something a little different.

    MX Nitro is a title that had a chance to be good, but it failed to really make much of a mark as a result of several unfortunate mistakes. The game’s frustrating rubber-band AI and the need for near perfect runs on the included tracks really hurt it, which is a shame because those issues could have been aided if not wholly corrected by the inclusion of a difficulty system. Do your research before buying this one folks, because it’s not the easygoing, fun experience that its title makes it seem like.

    A fun Challenge
    MX Nitro is a variety dirt bike all about the tricks.
    There’s a career mode featuring 14 varied locations all with their own boss battles and challenges... 4 in each location…
    this is not a straight up racing game,, though speed is definitely important..
    As you play the game you’ll not only have to win races but you’ll have to get points in trick challenges as well as deal with hazards…
    And each track feels unique and fresh… a sand track feels like a sand track..
    Leading the game to constantly switch things up and challenge your skills as a motocrosser
    The game does a great job of feeding you the skills needed in upcoming races... you gradually learn new tricks and skills… but there are definitely times you’ll feel frustrated trying the same race or challenge 1 thousand times.. This game is a great challenge to conquer… and there is no just skipping the hard stuff... you have to go through it all…
    You’ll hit ramps and attempt to do tricks to build up nitro … no matter what mode you’re in this is the premise each time…
    Take calculated risks and find the flow of the ever changing tracks…
    There are no laps here and you aren’t free to drive around the track.. You’re constantly going forward in your own lane, so no other racer can sabotage you and you can’t sabotage them…
    And the tracks are usually fairly short...
    As you beat other racers and challenges you’ll get money to spend on customizable as well as upgrades for your bikes, and even buy new ones…
    Each having their own personalities and feel drastically different...
    You can even swap them with the tap of a button at the end of a race if you’re having troubles with your current bike…
    And grinding is an option as you thankfully still get money for replaying races and challenges…
    You’ll also unlock new online tracks as you progress through the story to climb the leader boards..
    There unfortunately is no true multiplayer here... you’re essentially racing the ghost of other players trying to climb the ranking boards…
    A lot of care went into MX Nitro..
    Even the bosses have their own personalities…
    This is a very addictive and challenging game definitely worth picking up for racing and motocross fans…
    This is practically an on rails version of motocross meets SSX
    I give MX Nitro
    a 7.5/10    … Full Review »
