Just spent about two hours playing it and have to admit it's not as bad as I was expecting. It's worse.

I just cannot understand how the Rainbow guys claim to be riders & fans of the sport and then put out something which bears such little resemblance to what riding a motocross bike is actually like.

The thing with the original Rainbow games like MCM 1 & 2, ATV Offroad Fury and MX Unleashed is that while they may not have been realistic, they were at least fun racing games. This game, however, isn't realistic OR fun.

I agree 100%....it's honestly mind boggling to me how they have gone backwards with this game...I feel Reflex was an awesome game that just needed a few tweaks and new tracks. They tried reinventing the wheel with Alive and now with this release I'm not sure what they were trying to do. The rider looks like a robot. He barely moves! I also noticed when you do manage to whip the bike in the air the front wheel turns and the front fender stays stationary..looks weird as fuck! Hate to bitch but this game was a big let down.
I'm guessing that the Reflex engine is owned by Activision, or something, and not by the current MX/ATV rights holders.

Posted this on the Nordic forum. .

I'm going to give a full review later tonight. But I feel the need to dispell some of the crap floating around here. This game is not Reflex or Alive. It truly is its own deal. It took me 2 hours to realize that it CANNOT be played like either one of those. 
The gas and brake gyro absolutely work. . 
The clutch is vital to going fast. 
The preload is there for you to use how you see fit. 
The traction is different. But not in a bad way. 
This game is a challenge on many different levels the most important first is to break away from what you knew of the Games from the past.. 
I'm on Xbox add me later tonight if you want to moto .. mandingo3rd

I'm enjoying the game so far.. that's what is important to me..

No they had the rights to the Reflex engine. They said at one point that they took parts from it.

Q1 2015 isn't THAT far away. But yeah it is disappointing that it didn't come out at the same time as console.

Just spent a couple hours with it. Some of you guys need to put in more time before you trash this game. Like others have said, it's totally it's own thing. Very different than Alive in some aspects.

I'm really having fun with it. It took me a while to adjust, but now I'm beating the Pro class by 10+ seconds.

It's amazing to me that the dudes who made this game actually let it out to the public. They obviously read these comments and the ones leading up to the release date(s) so it's weird that they didn't make changes to this sh** box of a game. They claimed to have purchased everything that had to to with Reflex and Alive yet they still managed to butcher it...Just doesn't make sense to me. And yes, I played the game...and gave it planty of time. Just wish I could get my money back from the digital download.

Gonna try to buy the game right now. Honestly I was expecting it to be Alive 2.0 all along. But with some tweaks here and there. I know we are a long ways out but my thinking was that the next installment will be leaps and bounds better.

Definitely gonna leave the stock chassis on for now. The factory chassis is too hyper for me right now.

I wouldn't say I "hate" anything about a video game.

But the rider physics are 100% a joke. Once you have everything and your bike is as good as it can be its still way worse than the stock bike on Alive

The preload" stick flip" is so bad I don't even know where to start. The preload on Alive was tolerable but why not make it like Reflex where just leaning back and adjusting with the rider will get the correct amount seat bounce that you want?

On a few of the tracks the tough blocks don't reset where the track crosses over the start section.

The tracks and the stadiums actually aren't bad. Just wish they could figure out how to make the rider/bike react more realistically. Reflex was pretty much spot on. Maybe in some of the patches later on they'll fix some of these issues...who knows.

I have 4 races so far, 3 online. Is it my set up or was everyone experiencing freezing and glitchy play while online. I think it will be a fun game once i get used to it. Sucks they took away from the scrub/whip so much.

Are you still running the factory chassis? I'm thinking about running the stock chassis with upgraded everything else. The bike is damn hyper with the factory chassis.

Having good fun with the game honestly. At the start i didn't really enjoy it but once you start unlocking some bike upgrades (especially the factory chassis / suspension / exhaust) the game really starts to get better. The AI also looks like it's a good challengde i tried to run a series on All Time difficulty and JS7 was fucking killing it big time. He nearly got a perfect season and was out fron with insane leads haha.

Horrible graphics, horrible physics, horrible preload, and a horrible 10 steps backwards from Reflex. I can not wait till Reflex servers are running again for the Xbox. I will be returning this shit tomorrow, or I might just burn it. Y`all have fun!

Well this sucks. Motoclub depot on the PS3 doesn't work. Was planning on buying a OEM bike and leveling that up through the career. Probably have to wait till next tuesday before they update the PSN store again :|

I'm two races into the 450 championship and I'm really starting to get the flow of the game. I was having issues with wanting to preload on every jump and that just doesn't work. Once you start to get the hang of the physics and learn the track it becomes quite fun.
