  1. The Supercross tracks finally feel like they are in a real stadium. Again, this was absent because of a technological limitation. Thank goodness that barrier has been broken.
  2. While Untamed is a solid installment in the series I would have liked to have seen Rainbow step up, not only the visual quality, but also the core gameplay.
  3. A good game that really lacks inspiration.

    MX vs. ATV Untamed is a solid game, but one that will eventually lose its hold on you. If you haven't played an offroad racer in a while, this is the one to get, but don't hold your breath for something that will entertain you for hours and hours on end.

    I love it when people like sam B plays a DEMO and then rates a game, how can you rate a game from 1 practice track? you cant. small learning curve for the controls, wouldnt compare it to racing sims as some mag reviews did. this game is just a straight forward fun game for mx fans and others alike. there are so many features and differnt types of tracks, vehicles, and race styles it will keep just about anyone happy for a long time. the graphics arent bad, sure there no dirt or pgr4 but they arent supposed to be. fun MX game plain and simple.

    This is pretty much your average racer with some fun monster truck, buggy and moto physics. Nothing spectacular about the driving, graphics or maps, but it plays smoothly, no bugs and it's a good party game and my young boys just love it. Expand
