There are trick modifier and clutch controls, but in all honesty I rarely used them. If you just have those basic controls down, you are able to effectively compete in all the races and finish in good standing. Your throttle and braking is controlled with the triggers. Steering your bike and controlling your rider is accomplished with ease by using the analog sticks.
Do not get me wrong, there are still plenty of times my face hit the mud but being able to nudge other racers while focusing on the race at hand made the experience a little more realistic and enjoyable.īeing a rookie to the franchise I was surprised how accessible and easy it was to pick up the game right from the get go. This time around the bar to bar racing allows for a little bumping making the game feel more authentic and far more forgiving. Far too often in previous games (so I am told) a little bump could result in completely wiping out. Being able to bump and nudge into other racers as you are heading into a jump or taking a corner is a big part of racing. New to the franchise this year is “bar to bar” racing. ATV Alive XP system introduced in the game will be a hit with the MX vs. I never had a chance to play around with some of these aspects of the game, but I can see how the MX vs. Most hardcore fans will likely spend the XP on tracks and parts as the parts can improve the performance of your bike. In turn you can spend the points on new parts for your ride, new tracks, new outfits, rider skills for your racer and so on. Throughout any given race you complete challenges and unlock points. You continue to race your way through the games many tracks, but whether you finish first in a race or last you always earn XP. The lack of a single player story mode has been replaced with a progression system, or better known as an experience points (XP) system. After some extended playtime with the game, I have to say I am impressed however, the lack of career single player story mode may turn some folks off the game. With a release date, it is safe to assume we had a chance to play with what looked like the final completed version of MX vs. Not to mention I was curious to see how the game would play given its price ($39.99) which is significantly less than your typical new release video game on the Xbox 360.
Not having much experience with the franchise I was curious to see what one of THQ’s most successful original IP’s was all about. ATV Alive’s single player and multiplayer features on the Xbox 360. This past week I was lucky enough to get some hands-on time with MX vs.
