Mx Vs ATV Untamed - Xbox 360 Review

Customer Ratings:

This is a fun game, no doubt about it. The graphics are great, the open environments are well laid out.

Customization is a bit limited in that the gear is already out of style (perfect example are the TLD helmets a style that wasn't a hit 2 years ago and yet they're the only TLD choices in the game). They would have done well to allow color customization of generic gear in addition to the brand name in the game. The bikes themselves, while looking like Yamahas, Hondas, Kawasakis, Hondas, and KTMs have bizarre names and limited plastic customization. They must have a trademark dispute going on with the Japanese makers.

Also, I race motorcycles in real life. Guys either race two wheels or four. I don't really have any interest in racing quads but to open locked areas of the game, the game forces you to race all the various vehicles. I would have preferred to have a MX ONLY career mode, unlocking all MX events. Also, I don't care about the freestyle mode and yet I have to play that to unlock MX-related areas.

As for the audio, I turned that down to zero almost immediately. The sound of the bikes is quite good and there's a definite difference between 2 strokes and 4 strokes.

The Supermoto is a refereshing addition but the tracks are way too wide open. Crank your bike up for full top end and you leave the pack behind almost immediately. Also, in real life the biggest visual difference for Supermoto is the slick tires. Yet the game has you race on the knobbies. A minor visual annoyance, yes, but they could have easily added street tires for the REAL look of Supermoto.

Overall a fun game with decent customization. Is it worth $60? No. Buy it when it hits $29.99.

Untamed is definitely the best of this series with improvements to the graphics and interface without any compromises to the great feel of riding off-road vehicles. It's no Dirt or Forza 2 in terms of graphics, but it is several steps better than its predecessors. The environments are varied and beautifully modelled and rendered. There are many fun elements to ride on and jump over and through. The achievements are distributed in a logical way and are challenging without being frustrating to obtain.

They have removed the aircraft from the newest version (which is no big loss) and added increased customization capability and a much welcomed test track while you wait for your selection to load.

A great game to play with kids of any age. My six year old has played two previous versions and especially loves the 'free ride' mode.

most realistic motocross game i have ever played. you can see the ruts, in first person camera you can see the handle bars, the viser, and the camera shakes as you hit bumps, simply put, awesome. the physics are better, its not so much like a car game where you just press the gas and go. the tracks are pretty cool, even the nationals. only downside is the rider stance is kinda beginnerish looking. too laid back not aggressive enough. awesome game. buy this game yesterday.

The game is great except for one thing. The AUDIO! They had it pretty well figured out in Unleashed and for some reason, they took 2 steps back in Untamed. I can't really figure out why considering it is the same people that made Unleashed.. It sounds like a car instead of a bike and is so UNRealistic (the 2 stroke sounds pretty real though). Oh, one other thing, the clutch action is pretty lame too. It doesn't help much to cure a case of the bogs. I do like the brakes. The physics are better too and it is much more realistic in terms of launching jumps. No longer can you just clear an entire section that only a rocket bike should be able to clear. It is also less forgiving. If you screw up, you pay for it. Just like in real life. The computer generated competitors are much more competitive. Getting the holeshot is pretty difficult compared to Unleashed where holeshots were commonplace. All in all, it's a good game but they missed the boat on the engine sounds.
