hrudey thanks for the reply. Same thoughts on consoles. Let me if ur xbox version works because I want the game. Love motocross games and it appears this could be a winner. Assuming I will have to get it via eBay or the like.

I'll be glad to guinea pig and see if the Xbox version works for everyone. That way you will know whether to get it or go the PS3 route.

Downloaded and started messing around with career mode on PC, no problems so far. PS3 controller inputs and rumble work without any hiccups.

You can really tell that they understand motocross or atleast put time into it. Its the little things that matter, like the timed practice session before the big race in order to get a feel for the track and then having the ability to adjust the bike. Bike models are gorgeous, I can just sit in the pits and admire the bike.

I never was a huge fan of 1st person for any motocross games until MX Simulator and now MX GP is on the list where it feels natural to be in 1st person.

I was really hesitant with the title when I first saw trailers because physics for this type of game isn't an easy task and the rider animations are a bit goofy. But I'm glad to give them money to come back again at some point since what they put out in this game shows that they care and have taken time to cater to a niche rather than the masses

The issue I had in beta with the way the dirt looked in 1st person is gone in the release version, glad to see that.

From my first race





I'm not sure how to take screenshots as print screen just turns up all black and I dont see an option via the in-game camera to take a screen of it.

I forgot about 2 others from the demo. The camera focus is pretty cool when you have a backdrop like the track

This game's been a blast so far.
Been using the MX2 bike to learn the tracks before jumping on the MX1

A quick optimization protip for anyone else playing on PC:

If you enable VSync through the pre-game MXGP launcher, the entire game (even the menus) will be locked at 30 frames per second.

However, if you disable VSync in the pre-game launcher, you can still enable it in your video card's control panel, and then the game will run at its normal frame rate with adaptive VSync turned on.

Silly, but at least it works.
