XBOX 360 Mx Vs ATV Untamed Bike Game
— Metacritic
| Full review
Handling throughout is arcadey but consistent. There’s a bit more float to every vehicle than there would be in real life, and clever use of the analogue stick lets you pre-load the suspension before lift-off, enabling you to perform aerial tricks for ATVs and bikes (with a specific trick mode one of the disciplines included), while the interaction between terrain and suspension is convincing and control is tight.

What MX vs. ATV Untamed does very well though is retain Rainbow Studios’ excellent control mechanics. Every vehicle in the game controls in a very arcadey manner, but with full simulation influence at your disposal. What we mean by this is that you can turn on a dime and the game is rarely punishing, allowing you to land some crazy jumps and cut corners like a knife, but at the same time you can use your clutch for cornering and acceleration techniques or drop your bike at the top of a jump to stay low in the air.

MX vs. ATV Untamed is an incredible improvement over its brothers and sisters that got released in the past. Any true motocross or off-road fan will gladly welcome this «next-gen» experience.

In its essence, MX vs ATV Untamed is your classic off-road arcade racing game that is extremely over the top and quite enjoyable as the dirt flies from your vehicles as you attempt to race at ridiculously high speeds, all trying to maintain control and hopefully win the race. A nifty little feature of the title is that while you wait for the game to load, the player has the option of racing around a stadium in order to perform a variety of stunts and when its loaded, the player is then ready to challenge the main gameplay of the title, the X-Cross tournament. The control system of MX vs ATV Untamed is perfect on the XBox 360 controller which will take most gamers only a few minutes to figure out.

Animation is smooth and I’m happy to report that the framerate never suffers, which admittedly could really destroy a racer like this.

We had the most fun using motocross bikes and ATVs. These are the vehicles that allow you to attempt the jumps and tricks that you wouldn’t even think about in real life. MX vs ATV Untamed is a fun game to play. If you like dirt bikes and you like gaming at all, it’s a no-brainer.

MX vs. ATV Alive is one of the best racing games I’ve played in a while, and is actually a racing game I’m somewhat decent at. The Rider Reflex System didn’t take that long to get used to and if you have issues controlling the vehicle, you can always go into a free roam area to practice (and get some small XP). The only thing that makes me rate this game the way I did was the unlock system. If it was based on race performance and not ludicrous amounts of XP, I’d definitely rate the game higher.

MX Vs. ATV Alive doesn’t raise the bar when it comes to racing action, as its over comprehensive controls and familiar presentation won’t wow everyone. But for fans of motocross and previous examples of Rainbow Studios’ work, it’s definitely worth taking a ride with.

As a racing game, MX vs. ATV Alive is fantastic. The controls are near perfect, the action is always intense, and it’s just a fun game to play. Unfortunately, a bad system for unlocking new stuff and a severe lack of content really hold Alive back from reaching its full potential. Hopefully THQ delivers some quality downloadable content in the coming months, because if any game deserves it, it’s MX vs. ATV Alive.

This game has a serious lack of gameplay modes. However, the XP system is a lot of fun for anyone who likes to customize their racer down right down to the tiniest detail.

A sad example of a game that has so much going for it, but lacks the content to back it up. The game plays great, is a blast online and contains moments of brilliance, but its lack of any kind of tutorial, career structure and just plain content really drag it down.

MX vs. ATV Alive isn’t a stand out racing title, but for a budget priced game it ended up being a whole lot better than I would have suspected.

The only thing that can possibly be complimented with Alive would be a few vague ideas with the potential for fun; but grading on those alone is hardly enough. Whatever the game could have been is smothered in the dirt.

There is no other motorcycleSo, I agree with most of the reviews that there isn’t much to this game outside of the racing, but who cares. There is no other motorcycle game like this, and the fact that it’s dirtbikes makes it that much better. The reflex control returns, and that’s awesome. The fact that you don’t get knocked off the bike with every little bump now is awesome. The weight and clutch control, seat bounce, scrub and whips, all of this is a really nice touch add the control that was missing from every other racing game I’ve played. There is no other motocross game (just like there was only 1 matrix).
I do have to say though, all this makes it difficult to play properly for a noob, but if you can’t seat bounce or control the clutch, you don’t really have to worry about it. I wouldn’t take a way a bit of the control and I don’t think it makes things more difficult for rookie’s, just leave the difficulty setting appropriate until you’re ready for the additional challenge and control.… Expand-

Yes, at first it was interesting, we even managed to play with others along with other poor fellows (for other people of level 50 who have been playing this game since the day of release, I admit I can’t), but in the end — there’s absolutely nothing to do here.
Yes, the music here is great and the game is graphically well preserved (even by public standards) but the lack of a career area and track variety feels very inferior + if your opponent breaks away from you at the beginning of the race — you have about 0% chance to catch up with your opponent even for 5 laps — experienced players do not get errors, and the design of those risks of the route that is here is not very good. Glory to Ukraine!… Expand

This is a game that gets the Riding aspect of motorcycles and ATV’s absolutely RIGHT and exactly nothing else even comes close to right. All 6This is a game that gets the Riding aspect of motorcycles and ATV’s absolutely RIGHT and exactly nothing else even comes close to right. All 6 that I’m giving are for the actual riding gameplay, which is nailed, everything from computer riders to the fact the track changes with grooves from each lap.
Which just serves to punctuate how it failed at everything else. First, NO CAREER MODE. so basically everything you do is exhibition, it means nothing. there is a lame attempt at medals for coming in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, but they do not match difficulty, so if you get 1st on average, there is no difference made if you get 1st on ‘pro’ or ‘all time’. The game can’t even really start until you get to level 25, where most of the bikes and tracks are unlocked, and by that time most gamers will be fed up.
To be fair, this game was sent on a platform where you pay less in the beginning (i believe it shipped at 39.95) and then you pay to upgrade what you want through their live lobby. But what if they shut down their live marketplace and you could never upgrade anything? then you are left with a barebones game you cant do anything with, AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. shame on them, I could maybe understand if they were going bankrupt or out of business after being sold, but MX vs. ATV SUPERCROSS drops later this year.… Expand-

It is incredibly mediocre,I had more fun mocking this game with a friend while I played it than I actually had playing it with my friend.
It is incredibly mediocre, worst motorcross game I’ve played. Even Motorcross Madness was more fun than this piece of garbage. It has no business being on the 360, I’m not sure it has business being anywhere except maybe at a boredom convention being held in the heart of the sun.… Expand-

MX vs. ATV Reflex — Gambling
Few of us follow what’s going on in the world of motocross, or even know the names of key racing stars. However
the sight of motorcycles wallowing in the mud invariably produces on men aged
from 12 to 32 years old hypnotic impression — there is something in this sport
something that distinguishes it from civilized and skimmed asphalt races. Not
high speeds — they just don’t exist here. And not even the number of broken bones
riders, which is much higher than in other disciplines. Case,
most likely in a different way: to be a motocross star, you need to do more than just ride
faster than anyone — you need to do it spectacularly, to be a real actor in the saddle.
Perhaps this is why there are so many races in motocross (compared to other types of racing competitions)
girls. Prancing on a two-wheeled horse is not for you to sit inside a cramped
car where no one can see you anyway. The main thing here is the show. When
riders in bright overalls overcome a climb so steep that the stairs
in your entrance, in comparison with it, it will seem like a smooth avenue, to them involuntarily
get respect. Therefore, the demand (albeit very limited) for simulators
motocross always exists, and sometimes among them there are really
good games. Now, with the advent of MX vs ATV Reflex ,
there was one more.
How I spent my summer
Starting in motocross is a special ritual that is reminiscent of racetrack racing. Until the iron barrier comes down, everyone gets nervous and keeps their hand on the clutch lever. |
Although Rainbow Studios was a little
whether not single-handedly brought to the people three-dimensional motorcycle racing (ancient Motocross Madness — just their work), the first game to notice the show appeal of this discipline was last year’s Pure .
Aerial acrobatics at a height of 50 meters above the ground had little to do with
real motorcycle racing, but it was largely thanks to her that the Black Rock Studio broke the bank. MX vs ATV Reflex,
which still adheres to the laws of the real world (included
licensed racers and championships), against this background it looks real
anachronism. Motorcycles (as well as quads, buggies and pickup trucks) go around and bounce around
on artificial springboards — well, where have we not seen anything like this?
Meanwhile, right now the series is experiencing the second revolution in its long history (the first happened with the advent of quads and the abbreviation ATV in the name), only this time — technological. physically correct
the dirt that is now in every first off-road race is now available
and real motocross riders. Another thing is that in some Colin McRae DiRT 2 this same dirt is first of all
decor element. Rally cars pulled out clods of earth with their wheels and left behind
a barely visible track, but this had practically no effect on the behavior of cars.
Motocross is another matter. While racing down the compact and bulldozed
track, two-wheeled motorcycles manage to gouge a real gutter in the mud
meter depth, which is especially difficult to ignore when cornering (steering
pulls out of the hands with terrible force). And if the race takes place on wet ground (track
they are specially poured with water before the start so that spectators and riders do not suffocate
in clouds of dust), then the track also manages to fill with water — also physically
correct. H 2 O ripples, dislodges sunken wheels from the bottom and severely disappoints
everyone who likes to overcome the fords without slowing down the gas.
All eyes on the ruts: a couple of laps ago they were not here, but now you can get stuck. |
The quads aren’t as fast and bouncy as the Pure, but that just makes it harder to ride. |
The model of vehicle behavior has also become more reliable — now, when you see a fallen tree on the road, the trunk of which is thicker than the wheel of your ATV, you involuntarily retract your neck and brake almost to zero, because
if this is not done, the rider will have to dampen the speed with his own body. On
in a heavy pickup truck, the same obstacle is perceived much more calmly, but on
motorcycle … In general, if you have ever tried to overcome on a bicycle
wet tram tracks or curbs, then there is nothing to explain, and if not —
just never try to do it at a sharp angle.
You will be waist-deep
Racing pickups from Colin McRae DiRT 2 as guest stars. |
In general, you have to fall all the time in the game. First of all, because of the aggressive but stupid opponents who often go
«on contact». And in the second — when trying to perform some famously twisted
trick. The tricks themselves are an integral part of motocross, and in the past parts
series for their performance awarded separate points. But since Pure closed this topic for good, the developers of MX vs ATV Reflex seem to have quieted down and pushed the tricks into the background. Now, during a regular race, no one
makes us look for the jump button — just sit firmly in the saddle and
slightly tilt the body when cornering.
Here, too, one small innovation is hidden — if you landed badly or somehow lost control, the game always gives a couple of seconds to correct the situation. You just need
pull the right stick in the indicated direction, and the rider who previously held the steering wheel
with one hand, will return to the saddle again. Not the worst way to use quick-time events in racing — anyway
much more honest than the ubiquitous time rewind.
When it comes to content and variety, Rainbow Studio has reached some cosmic heights over the years of working with the genre. We have already said that in addition to motorcycles, there are quads and other four-wheeled units in the game,
that you need to discover in the course of a career. And which (most chic!) can also
race against each other. It turns out almost MotorStorm in miniature — light motorcycles at a glance
rush forward, but on the first straight they are caught up and rolled into the mud
heavy pickups. And the main guarantee of survival in such races is usually the ability
do not climb on the rampage and stay away from local battles.
Other than regular circuit racing, checkpoint orienteering, freestyle, supercross (where it takes place in a closed arena and
tracks are especially slow and insidious), the developers for some reason added to the game
freeplay. In this mode, we simply explore a deserted piece of territory in search of
new flags and tasks, while trying to understand if we have already passed by
this pine or not. Fortunately, unlike the boring Fuel is not the main mode here, but just a way to unwind.
Tracks are a real gem of the game. There are a lot of them, and they are all dirty. |
But why a thoroughly dirty motorcycle has a perfectly clean tread (at least in the Xbox 360 version) is a separate question for the developers. |
* * *
Despite the best dirt in video games,
which finally not only loads the processor, but also has reliable
physical properties, MX vs ATV Reflex is quite
highly specialized race. Fans of bright graphics and high speeds
choose MotorSorm: Pacific Rift , and for those who don’t have a PS3, there’s still a multi-platform Pure.
