Hope no one is sick of it by the time my copy arrives.
Other than this suggestion, however, this game is the best game ever created ever in the history of ever. It truely is the most fun game I have ever played. SX is FINALLY a challenge. If you fuck up once in a rhythm section, you fuck the whole section up like real SX. MX is just as fun. Two thumbs up, Rainbow. Fantastic job.

I have just about every MX video game ever made and have spent tons of time on all of them. Reflex has so many of the elements of the ultimate MX game down pat, but it has way too many of the same problems that Untamed had.
The bike basically has no natural stability. It's as if the physics on this game don't realize that a bike should become more stable the faster you go. It's kind of retarded, the rider will be standing perfectly straight up and down and the bike will just swap 90 degrees immediately with a complete loss of all forward momentum. I'm not whining that its too hard, its actually pretty easy to win on this thing. It just makes it damned annoying to play.
It seems like its essentially the same physics engine as Untamed, which I hated compared to its predecessors. Anyone I ever spoke to felt the same. Its almost a complete deal breaker, which is really unfortunate because everything else about this game is phenomenal. It looks amazing. The riders, bikes, gear, the dust, the tracks, all awesome. The bike tuning actually makes a difference. You actually have to use the brakes!
I'm not giving up on it but I am not throwing out my copy of Unleashed yet.
I mean on the 360, the gas is on the right, and the clutch is on the right, just above the gas. WTF?!?! Kind of like Untamed if you ask me.
P.S. id pay what ever it took to download some tracks, even if they dont have fans, elements outside the track, new challenges are fun
Complaining about this game is like looking at a Michelangelo painting and saying, "ya know, I think this color is a shade too dark." Or, "Ya know, I wish this was just slightly different. Maybe just a centimeter over to the left"
This game is so complex and sophisticated compared to games in the past, that since there are a million different things to notice, we find little tiny things to complain about. Instead of noticing a few flaws (depending on the person), pay attention to all the great things.
This game is amazing. I personally like that the bike can unexpectedly get out of control. That's what happens in real life, anyways. It adds an element of unpredictability to the game, like fumbling, or interceptions on football games, which always makes those exciting.
Pit Row
Oh ya that other sand track is badass, just badass i love that track.
The 2 biggest complaints I have are the AI/collision, along with the lack of depth and customization. NBA and NFL games can have pretty sub par gameplay but they have tons of different game modes and very in depth and customizable seasons. That's the key to longevity if you ask me. Seems like such a simple and un-creative fix too..
But my hang ups are really just about the lack of replay and depth in a game that has great gameplay and presentation. Just leaves me wanting more to do!
also the sx portion blows imo. if you case the smallest double your momentum is shot for the rest of the lap. not the section, but the lap. not only that, but i have my suspension all the way soft and it's still bouncier than a pogo stick. stiff? same thing, bouncy. also, why when i let off the gas does the whole bike start sliding sideways? makes 90 degree corners followed by a jump a nightmare. never know what the bike is going to do.
and before anyone starts saying i need to learn how to play, i can still beat the all-time by bouncing around the track like a Richard Simmons infomercial.
that said, i think the motocross portion is fucking amazing. i love the tracks, and i love the way the bike handles outdoors. give me more outdoor tracks on xbox live and i would gladly spend the money needed to get them. and the terrain deformation is simply amazing.
rbw, take this game and build on the existing platform for the next game. building a brand new game from scratch has to be strenuous, and you can use what works and get rid of what doesn't work.
The only thing that would make it perfect is to ditch the 4 wheeled vehicles, the FMX, waypoints, etc.and just focus solely on MX/SX.
All us moto junkies want to throw down in a 12rd MX series and a 17rd SX series, preferably on models of actual tracks. The rest of the series' and vehicles are taking up valuable space that could have been used for more SX/MX tracks and actual riders.
You can't please everyone, but you can please those who mean the most to you. Us!
In all seriousness, who do you think is your core buying group? Hardcore MX lovers, quad lovers, buggy lovers (all 4 of them), truck peeps or casual race fans?
Great game. Thanks for making it!
