MX vs ATV kicks it up a notch and shifts into high gear as the best selling offroad franchise returns to the PSP.

The control mechanics are great, but there are issues with landing a trick cleanly, item placement for some of the goals and sometimes frustrating computer assist. If you're into offroad racing then it's certainly worth a look, but don't expect perfection.

Even with its issues though, MX vs ATV: Untamed is a rollicking good time, incredibly well-suited for a portable platform.

Game Chronicles
Tantalus has done a decent job porting this to the PSP, and while Untamed is a solid installment in the series I’d still have to say Sony’s ATV Offroad Fury Pro probably finishes slightly ahead of this title in overall quality.

Pocket Gamer UK
A lack of online play and other minor shortcomings sully MX vs ATV Untamed, although the experience still manages to rev up some excitement.

Playstation Official Magazine UK
Despite solid work, it looks and feels a generation behind "Flatout [Head On]", and never matches the sweet thrill of "GTA: LCS's" wild bike rides. [Apr 2008, p.105]

Gamers' Temple
For an "untamed" game, MX vs. ATV Untamed just isn't all that interesting or fun to play.

GameSpot
MX vs. ATV Untamed promises dirty thrills but winds up delivering only a smudgy shrug.

Untamed isn’t a game worthy of adding to your collection unless you are a die-hard MX or ATV fan.

GameZone
Many handheld games do justice to their console counterparts. The PSP version of MX Vs. ATV Untamed isn’t one of them.

AceGamez
If you're looking for a decent rally/off-road game on the go then you could do worse than MX vs ATV Untamed; it's just too bad that the only other offerings on the system for off-road racing games are in the same series and are just as decent if not worse.

GamePro
It probably would have been best if the PSP version of Untamed were kept in its cage.
