I did not play this game in my childhood so this is my first time playing this title.
With racing games, what you see is what you get. You drive motorbikes and ATVs on dirt tracks with jumps. You can do tricks in the air as well.
The problem I had with this game is the insane rubber banding of the AI. It is the most intense I've seen in a game and it can make the experience infuriating on more difficult tracks. The AI will always clump together no matter if you are ahead or behind. If you are in the pack, the leads will make PERFECT jumps and turns, making it extremely hard to get and stay in first place. One poorly made jump will lead you to be overtaken instantly. It doesn't feel natural and really hurt the fun factor for me.
Nostalgia game.
Only problem is the 30 fps.
Otherwise it's a very good game with a lot of content.
I played it countless hours on PS2 and I play it again from time to time on PC out of nostalgia.
i was looking for this type of racing done well for decades, MX series had good reputation, was even from THQ publisher (back when it was still THQ as opposed to deep silver pretending to be THQ) - company that gotten MotoGP and MotoGP2 off the ground.
After nearly 14 hours i can confidently say that i have given this game a shot - the biggest problem i see is that i never know weather the rider will flop off the motorcoss bike or not on specific jumps, second most irritating is the computer competitors jsut randomly being unbetably fast, thirs flaw is just sheer lack of competition - motorcorss in real world at the time had up to 50 fielded riders per session... here we only get 8 or even 6 some places....
As direct result of these shortcomings majority of aformentioned time i spent re doing race weekend (you can restart each session while you are in it but if you do not achieve certain results - usualy podium, you are forced to start from quali 1, or can opt to do practice before that). Whish is devastating especialy in championship where the point is to have close points contest based upon long term results.
Sounds feel bit too flat too, (compared to likes of Ski-doo X-team racing) both 2 and 4 strokes lack some kind of interesting mechanical depth, i can hear no suspension or brakes.
Music selection is what you'd expect from the era, but be warned featuring Nickleback.
Graphics are servicible but not breathtaking even compared to aforementioned MotoGP (which was up to 3rd by this poiint i beleive).
I can wholeheartidly recommand you look for your offroading motorbike racing anywhere else. This is simply not worth your time no matter the price tag it comes with.
I grew up on Motocross Madness, this is a nice continuation of those games from the same developers. The track editor is a nice addition over the console versions, it has its limitations but it's pretty good if you're into that sort of thing
