Only $10 for all 2026 SX, MX, and SMX series.
Cons: When you land, there is little to no momentum. It feels like an arcade game. Only 2 tracks right away? It just doesn't feel like flows like older games, such as untamed, it's more like stop and go. Also, the tuff blocks still weigh a thousand pounds. Celebrating or flipping someone off or whatever...yea?
Pros: The turning is better, as well as not flying off the track at random times. The blur thing when you get going is pretty cool. The A.I. riders are a little more legit and fun to race.
If they really wanted kids and non moto people to get into this game, wouldn't you think they'd make the controls easier? Adding pre load is fine for us addicts, but the controls already seem difficult with out that for first timers. Kinda like NHL 11 with NHL 94 controls, so anyone could pick it up and play.

Any chance there will be new DLC for reflex?
Gaming companies need to play the PS1 version of Supercross Circuit. Best MX game ever made! Real tracks indoors and out, real bikes, good physics, bike mods that make a difference to the bike and 2 PLAYER SEASONS!
they better release supercross, and quick. you guys think this place is a hate fest, you should see some of the posts on the mx vs atv website.
cornering
bike sounds
momentum generated by using the clutch
slight blur at speed
Major Cons:
yelling at riders and waving when you pass them. I'm having a VERY hard time getting past this, since it also affects control.
only 2 HUD options. All or nothing. Very frustrating. Turning it off removes crash avoidance which affects actual gameplay.
Cons I can deal with:
"get ready, get set" Very arcade-like. Reminds me of "Motocross Go!"
no sx tracks out of the box (they sponsored the sx series for goodness sake!)
stock bikes appearance
riding style- reminds me a bit of Kyle Cunningham, which is my positive spin on it
short tracks- good idea, bad execution
snow covered tracks
having to play the same two tracks for hours before unlocking another. We didn't need a lot right away, but more than 2.
Dirt 2 was unreal.

I have not played Alive so I'm not going to bash it and I'm sure I'll have fun playing it, I had fun playing reflex for a long time. It just seems they need to do better and make a game like everyone wants. Just do better!
1. turn off all the assist.
2. race "all time"
3. race the figure 8 short track.
I started playing the game at 3 pm and got my Experience to 22 by 4:30, And I even motoed a bunch on the other tracks. I was a little po'ed that they give you the quads 450s before dirtbikes, but I can rail pretty damn good on a super modded 125. The physics are different, but for sure better.
And for the record the cheesy waving at people hasn't messed me up once surprisingly. I haven't played it since 4:30 cause I know I'm going to wanna play it for a long time if I do haha.

I understand that you are appreciative of the opportunity you were given and don't want to sound ungrateful by criticizing their work...that's completely understandable, but you need to start telling it like it is. Isn't that why they choose you in the first place?
I totally agree that some of these guys are being way too harsh too soon, the game is good! ...But the overt defense/cheerleading of the game sounds so pussified coming from you, it's not even funny. Regardless of the many improvements they've made... there is some glaringly obvious errors, glitches, and dumb shit in this game.
Can't wait to hear your write up on the weekend and the game...hopefully it's not as sugar coated as your opinions have been thus far.
I thought it was a little weird that it would take so long to get to level 10 even, and when Elliot said that a good player could get to level 20 in just over an hour, now i believe him.
Cheers FIREfish!
1. At what point in time did you think that it would be a good idea to make the riders turn around and yell at each other? It's distracting and I don't think I, in a race or practice, or anyone else I've ever seen ride/race has ever done something like that.
2. At what point in time did you think that making the short tracks cross would be a good idea? The short tracks are surprisingly FUN. Really fun. However, I get a bit aggravated when I get plowed in the side by a rider at a cross.
Once again, I really do like the game. It's fun and those are really my only two bitches about it. Oh, and a working, semi-realistic pre-load system? That's pretty cool.
Leaning mid to fwd and not hanging out over the back. ( you wheelie if you lean off the back to far.)
Dragging the bake and not locking it up. (It is a analog button.)
Hitting the lines and not riding around the outside. (although you can find faster lines than the main ones)
Turn off all the assistance.
It also did the coolest thing, while railing a line faster and faster I actually High sided from hitting it too hard. Every time I hit it like that I high sided. Backed it down a touch with a little back brake and I hit it fine.
I don't see how you guys can pay attention to the rider position as you need to concentrate on hitting your lines.
I got to level 7 and I'm competing at the all star level. Not winning at that level but I'm blowing them away on the pro level.
835
Can't wait to get my copy for the 360.
I tried for like twenty minutes and the only way I could get it was jumping lines to get to it...
Im lvl 14 now...this is on a ps3..(since the psn is down i cant get bubbas pad, so i cant say for his house)
Pros-
-the bike does handle better with the parts upgrades
-the turning/ ruts peform much better than reflex's
-the bike no longer slides in corners where it should be griping
-the bar banging is a cool add-on
-bike sounds kickass
-i like the detailed chain, it looks good.
-kinda cool for stewy to tell you whats goin on @ certain lvls
Cons-
-track designs...a big WTF on a few outdoor tracks!!!
-i feel like i bought a parcial game for 43 bucks.
-the bikes performance is stagnant after you get all the upgrades....(in reality different companines produce vary different performance parts its not just a different sticker)
- the bikes brakes do not react fast enough.
-narrow tracks
- the rider doing gay gestures( this needs to be turned off immadiately) or atleast have a patch with an option
-the throttle hand does not move, but the guy make gay gestures idk.
-no more tear-offs? Wtf??(but instead has the gay gesture)
-The LEVEL GRIND is fucking steep...i found myself not wanting to really play after about lvl 5
-the level reward system is not enough to keep you playing....you have to want to which is bad imo
-the black spots on the track, you cant see shit on a few tracks
-too many snow levels (who legitimately has tracks in the snow, all the time?)
-NO PENALTY for getting landed on...(i can kinda understand, with the bar-banging action being so close)
- when your hauling ass, something in the game cause a immediate slow down upon hitting a jump, its weird
-even with all assists of, the bike does not whip for the life of the game, and when it does...you cannot bring it back
Idk, why im still playing it but i find it fun lol
Im hoping sx will be godlike because the nationals will only have a appeal for about a week for me.
