    Mad Riders' set-up is as old as the ATV itself, a throwback to the classic over-the-top racing, but succeeds in giving it all a refreshing new coat of paint. And the best part is that can get all of this fun for the price of a single pizza. [July 2012, p.92]

    Mad Riders' only real problem is a lack of originality, as most of its makeup is borrowed from ATV games that have come before. But it's tweaked and mixed these ingredients together so well that it deserves to be called the best of them – and at £7.99 there's more than enough value on offer to appeal to anyone out there.

    Although Mad Riders might not feature anything in the way of innovation in either its core gameplay or race modes, I appreciate how developer Techland has honed its racing craft and made it so I never have to let up on the throttle.

    Quite a frantic arcade racer that genre lovers will like. However, it is a bit monotonous and its tracks reuse a lot of sections. It also lacks a split-screen multiplayer option, but still it is a fun game at a very affordable price.

    A good, solid game. Looks good, plays good, is good. But, if you've bought any racing game in the last few years, any game at all, Mad Riders probably doesn't offer anything you haven't got already.

    Mad Riders is not a bad game. It has some truly fun moments that remind me of the best arcade racers. The unfortunate part is that there are a lot of games that are simply better than Mad Riders. The game is cheap enough, at $10, that those who are interested in off road racing should consider checking it out. All others should probably look elsewhere for their racing needs.

    Mad Riders has many of the problems of the previous game and there isn't anything that stands out. In addition, the gameplay is a little boring.

    Easily the best offroad racing game out there. I play it on PC but the game is basically the same on all consoles minus the graphic tweaks. IEasily the best offroad racing game out there. I play it on PC but the game is basically the same on all consoles minus the graphic tweaks. I cannot believe the low scores. The game is like MotorStorm: PR without all the vehicles and better graphics at least on PC. The jumps are insane in this game and remind of SSX of old times. Way off base here giving this 10 dollar title a 6. Go back to COD you tards. I got the DLC and game on Steam for 4 bucks and you can find sales on XBL and PSN as well. Full 10 because it's cheap and damn near a full game off road style. A lot of love was put into these tracks. The tournies have the usual Stunt, Clock, Race, etc. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this game. Insane air and tons of variety with the DLC. I thought they did the island theme about as good as it can possibly be done for DL title.… Expand

    Dont buy it!You will play for 1 hour.The game froze 3 times in that one hour period,forcing me to plug out the power from my PS3,and now iDont buy it!You will play for 1 hour.The game froze 3 times in that one hour period,forcing me to plug out the power from my PS3,and now i cannot even start the game,because i probably corrupted the save file.I start now the game and the only thing it shows me is a black screen.I tried to rebuild database,but nothing is happening. Otherwise it can be a good game,but how can you play it when there is not even a patch for this problem?I checked Techland website,and they even didn't listed the game in they library.Imagine how "important" the game is for them.They even dont want to remember it.… Expand
