Mx. vs. ATV. Alive. First. Impressions.

The two starter tracks get really repetative

Yeah thats kinda fail, they did it in reflex.

I'm very open minded, and I normally like the MX vs ATV games; however, this game blows. I don't have xbox live so I can't even redeem the code for Stewart's track on xbox live... no internet connection. The bikes look like pit bikes and the riders can only goon ride. The graphics suck, and I hope there is an option for NORMAL number backgrounds. Whatever happen to REAL bikes? THQ went back a few years ago to MX Unleashed. I just bought a new game that looks like old games I already have. Final Word: Make the game right or don't make it at all.

I am guessing from the above there is no reason to "upgrade" from Reflex.

Why the strange color backgrounds? You would think they would at least get that right.

I liked not being spun around and shot off in some odd direction for no reason.

What is the DLC?

The stewart compoind isnt even online yet which sucks i wanted to try it out.

im almost level 10

bikes tracks etc.

Guess I'll have to try to figure out a way to get hooked up to the internet. I like the track graphics, and it actually ruts up realistically.

My Review

Pros:
-Bike feels heavy and solid not like its sliding all over the track.
-You dont turn into a helicopter when you hit someone now
-Cool XP system
-No stupid trophy trucks for story more
-Lots of pro riders



Cons
-No SX at launch
-Not alot of content
-No real story mode just tracks to play


As of right now 7.5/10

If we get SX and alot more tracks without paying out the ass my score will go up.
Cant wait to try bubbas place.

...Is that better?

Guess Scottie "fixed" it after I'd fixed it.

Do you still move the guy around on the bike like on reflex? And, you guys are talking about upgrades, is that something they can do by downloading over the internet or do you mean for the next game they come out with?

i've been playing it for 2 days now, once you get all the new nationals tracks unlocked it's alot more fun, but really, i need some supercross! oh and getting the "factory chassis" helps the game feel a big more life reflex, but really in the air now it feels way too stiff, like there's only one way to whip, and scrubs are way too easy, like your face can be dragging on the ground while you scrub and nothin happens. Another complaint is that the bikes look insanely stupid, like some cheap chinese made brands or something. and then the fact that you land on top of someone, and NOTHING HAPPENS. like you can land in a stoppie, on a wall off the biggest jump you can find, and you kinda just slide off of it.

however, the pro's i have noticed about the game are that cornering just feels better now, the tracks don't get insanely rutted out after 2 laps life reflex, and inside lines can be faster, unlike reflex where the fastest line is always railing the outside. There is also no insane overrev as soon as you get on the gas in the air, the game revs when it pleases to sound cool. still not sure if it's worth the money, it just has the feel of a tony hawk game, vs say skate 3 (if any of you have played those) but it's still fairly fun, but nothing like reflex at all except in the cornering.

so I put my code in, it downloaded "motoclub pro" but no stewart compound, it still says 640 credits on that page. How do I get the compound?

I like the game only on level 5 now... its great rider = a little goony but still cool

ok, cool. Other than that, with assists off, the game is pretty fun

The wheelie thing is kind of annoying! I find myself leaning back a lot because the rider seems so far up on the seat. Trying to fix the goon causes a loop out. Bummer. I've only played on a few tracks so far, but it is better than I thought it would be.

i wish we could get some word on when supercross will be released. game will get old quick.
