MX vs. ATV Reflex

[wilsfaber]

Anyone into the dirt racing games like me? I love to get down & dirty! lol! But really, I just heard there's a new MX vs. ATV game coming out. I totally wasn't expecting that since didn't Untamed just come out last year? I was a little underwhelmed by that after Unleashed but this looks like it's going to knock the socks off both fo those games. Here's the trailer for anyone who hasn't seen:

Curious if anyone else here has played MX vs. ATV? I've tried Pure too but that's just too cartoony for me. Reflex looks like it'll pull out all the stops. All I need now is a demo to really show me what this game will be like. It's supposed to come out in December so the demo should be out soon I hope!

Sweet! you play any other moto games? I read last week that they've confirmeda demo for Reflex. No release date yet though.

Not really any other MX games (other than the atv stuff) for the Xbox but I've played a few different games over the years on other systems.

I'm ready for this one !!!

Garbage? Man, there was no MX game better than Unleashed on the PS2! Hands down, dude. lol As far as Untamed goes, I got a taste of it and it had potential, so yeah it needed some work. Reflex looks like an all new game though. They got the rider reflex system where I guess you can control the driver and the vehicle, new trick system, and the terrain deformation stuff. I'm looking forward to making my own ruts!

If you're so curious, just get the demo on the 12th, man. It's gonna be pretty damn sweet. I doubt there'll be an MX game better than this right now.

I've been watching all the gameplay vids on youtube and it's looking slick. Just check this out and see what you think:

Demo impressions

Sounds are horrible, oh so horrible. Why cant they get a 4 stroke to sound right? The industry is now a 4-stroke environment, can we please stop using crap that shouldn't of made it on the previous title?

Controls are funky for the time being. Way too sensitive for what should happen, leaning back with the littlest steering to the left or right is death. The fact that you need to use the L-Stick to steer (handlebars) more than the lean is horrible. Anyone that's been on a bike knows you steer with your body more than you ever will with the turn of the handlebars. Unless you're in 1st and leaving pits, then its understandable.

Bike/physics are still weird. No longer the on-the-mon feeling but now the bike is extremely flickable.. just doesn't feel right compared to the years I've ridden supercross-style tracks in San Diego. I'll give them credit though from this demo, atleast you can't fly 400ft like their older titles.

Graphics are definitely the strong suit, like its always been.

Tracks have been improved instead of being the ultra smooth look/feel. Somewhat of a penalty system for certain lines but really, it doesnt matter still. The dirt does shift, I didn't notice it the first time through so I did a few donuts and the dirt did build up. I want to see how the dirt interacts in a full race- will it be like dead bodies or bullets in other games where its a limit and it'll reset?

2/5 from me so far.. this series has been an overall 3/5.

Physics were horrible for Unleashed. The PC community made that game.

MX Simulator for the PC and the PC community version of Unleashed > any console-based MX game. Its not even close.

Untamed was a waste of time and money.
