MX Vs ATV Supercross Review Pros:
- Nice graphics.
- Customize your rider. you can change just about everything like Jersey, Goggles, Neckbrace, boots, jersey number, and name on the shirt.
- Customize your vehicle with options like engine, color, tires, brakes, etc. You dont have as much to play with at the begininng as you have to unlock all the parts.
- Game modes: Single race on any unlocked track/location, Career which is where you will spend most of your time, and online match.
- Eleven career events to take part in and unlock: 250 west, ATV west, MX vs ATV west, 250 east, 450 championships, ATV east, ATV championship, MX vs ATV east, MX vs ATV championship, 125 championships, and 50 championships.
- Four difficulty options: Rookie, Amateur, pro, and all time.
- You can set the lap amount in nearly every event across all modes.
- Qucik vehicle selection is available on the race/championship setup screen.
- Online mp but also local split screen racing is available.
- Split screen races have a race option but also a free ride option where you can just learn the track. In free ride, it keeps a seperate score for each player showing your best air time, jump height, and combo.
- Seventeen locations to visit from Miami to Atlanta to Las Vegas.
- Controls take a sim approach with many buttons like clutch control and different brake buttons for front and rear. Another cool feature is the rider reflex stick. hereYou you use the right analog stick to do more accurate turns, start a drift and control jumps and pull off stunts mixed with the combo modifie button. You have a selection of preset button layouts.
- reset to track is different in that you can set a reset point at any time in a race and pressing reset will put you back there. A neat little trick especially if you’re still learning the course.
- Full online leaderboard support with filtering options like friends only.
- Gameplay is very challenging but actually very rewarding. Especially when you master the combos and stunts.
- The game overall is a mix of sim and arcade fun. the gameplay is more arcade with the controls taking a stronger sim approach. both come together really well.
- Official riders, locations, and events. Taking current day teams and riders, the game also throws in a load of legendary teams and players.
MX Vs ATV Supercross Review Cons:
- On quick vehicle selection and especially on the split screen, you cannot see a preview of the vehicles so for novices of the sport this is a bit off-putting.
- There is quite a steep learning curve as you try and take in the reflex stick, clutch control, and braking. It all sounds easy at first but in practice is very hard to get into.
- No proper opening tutorial with the only tips you recieve coming from the many loading screens.
- A lot of loading times and a lot of long ones at the most random of times.
