Great Game, but has BIG FLAWS
This game is great, lots of fun and personally I think the Graphics are very nice, very sharp detail and most dirt on tracks looks very real. The bikes look sweet and the rag doll physics are very nice. The Game really does have alot to offer, However, I must say the flaws in the game are VERY VERY annoying and these are mistakes that rookie companys would make, which is why i am very surprised Rainbow/THQ let them through. The following are the bad points of this game;
:MAGNETIC BIKES -- I would love for the makers of this game to explain to me how on EVERY single gate drop drop, you can Guarantee that you will get "twisted and facing backwards". This is hard to explain in typing, but trust me 1-2 races and you will know EXACTLY waht I am talking about. Have these guys who made this game ever actually been on a dirtbike? ever seen a race? who on earth has never heard of handlebar dragging or rubbing? to get twisted to "wrong way" is super annoying and enough to make someone not play this game.. i could go on forever on how bad this aspect is but I wont,
: STIFF LEGS THROUGH WOOPS: This is by far the worst "racing" aspect of the game, Woops, which many many people love in racing games are the funnest parts of the track, I promise you, you will HATE them in this game, your rider literally stands straight up, and BOBBLES the WHOLE TIME, NEVER EVER, EVER, will you ride "through" or "on top of" the woops...I mean COME ON, even playstation one got this right, and EVERY game since then, except this one.. it is god awful and a horrid sight. you will bobble through the entire woop section..
:CRASHING: I wont go on for long on this, but it is pretty bad, not awful like others are saying, I mean you need some realness to the game, but yes you do crash a little too much for my liking.
: TRACKS: SX especially, I am sure the "woops bobble" has alot to do with this, from losing momentem but the tracks seem ULTRA SMALL and COMPACT, I know that SX tracks are small and compact, but this is a game, you must take the size of the bike to the size of the tracks aspect a little more into consideration.
:FACTORY BIKES; I can Guarantee you that 99 out of 100 people you ask, would rather have factory BIKES in this game instead of pro riders, WHO CARES if I can be Chad Reed if I have to ride a "Rampage250F"? I mean come on, this is the BASICS of a MX game. WE WANT REAL NAMES.
And Finnally,,, ENOUGH WITH THE "Ride anything that has wheels and a motor aspect". Make it a 100% DIRTBIKE game, it will sell JUST as many copies.. I can see adding the ATV's and keeping the name right, thats fine. But come on already. there are TONS of other options out there for people that want to play buggy,cart,car etc games. We only get one, So please spend that extra time, money, memory and make a better MX vs ATV game and stop wasting space on those useless other rides..
Thank you all.,, Good bye
