The next generation in the MX vs. ATV series, MX vs. ATV: Untamed is due for release at the end of December. We’re anxiously awaiting the new version, so we can get a new dose of thumb-pump…especially during the cold winter months.

Look for all the features you're familiar with, like Supercross, Nationals and Supermoto, with top riders. But one new feature we’re particularly looking forward to are the physics-based whips and scrubs that have been added to the game, which are illustrated in a batch of fresh new screenshots below. (Click any of them for a wallpaper-sized version that you can download to your PC and dream about playing until the game arrives.)

Also new (for those of you who don’t want to be restricted to moto, or who want to get more life out of your games), is an EnduroCross mode, complete with the off-road obstacles unique to the EnduroCross events, and an X-Cross career mode, where you compete in all eight vehicles found in the game.

Look for the game in its largest cross-platform launch ever, on Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, DS, and the Wii, and if you want to check out their site in the meantime, head to www.mxvsatv.com
