Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating:  Date Reviewed: 25Jun2009 | | | I downloaded the demo of this game from Playstation network and was pretty impressed. It is fun to play and is an exciting racing game. The graphics are pretty good not excellent though. Some of the effects are amazing. There is also a very fun minigame where you can practice stunts beforre the race. If a few problems are sorted then it should be a good game.
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating: Date Reviewed: 11Feb2008 | | | Rainbow Studios really gave PS3 owners a bad one with their first next generation game.
Ill be brief with this review. As there is too much to take in, if anybody owns it.
First of all the bad:
1: PS3 owners wont enjoy this game online, yes the online capabilities have been improved over MX vs. ATV Unleashed. Here is the fun part, there is no way to talk to other players via text communication, or headset/microphone support. They simply did not put it in.
The lead developer at Rainbow Studios regarding the Playstation 3 version, said publicly that he wasnt aware of no communication support until the last minute.
2: During online play, the game will occasionally lock up your machine from time to time (totally random). Either when the MX vs ATV logo spins before game starts or just as you get off the gate into the first corner. This is probably the worst part.
3: Hay Bale derby. Good luck with Supercross races, more so online. There is hardly any reset time for the bales. There is a lot of nasty going ons if you happen to be second place. It appears on your screen like the leader is deliberately hitting the bales and causing them to fall down to the center of the turns. Usually blocking the racing line and having to play dodge ems with them.
Based on what I experienced thus far playing online when considering an SX tourney, I cant see anyway possible that it would be any fun. Especially when you run tracks like wilford. Ran against 8 guys the other night, and it was carnage galore. I mean, you couldnt even ride the track. The longer the tracks are it gets a little better, but when you have a track that is no longer than a 45 second track, it makes it virtually impossible to have a real race. It more like survival than it is a race. I still cant fathom, how this passed without being fixed. Heck, I remember on the PC version, guys that made tracks, would at least put in the time to have beta testors to give the guys critical feedback. I cant think of one track where there was a total miss like this bale thing. Amazing!!!!
4: Passing other riders. You cannot pass a rider cleanly or you will be taken off the bike. You must stay like 10 feet away from each rider to pass and remain on the bike.
5: The game was originally advertised as 12 players online, but Rainbow once again at the last minute reduced the online players to 8. While the Xbox 360 version has 12 players online.
6: Extremely poor bike sounds for the 4 strokes. Sadly if theres any big thumper fans, youll be extremely disappointed with the sounds Rainbow Studios gave them.
7: Good luck with the rider collisions, if they hit your rear wheel hard enough theyll send you off the track or into a 360 spin.
8: No thrill cam, it was such a nice feature from Unleashed, but they took it out.

The Good
1: Improved bike physics, you can really pull off some great whips/scrubs in this version.
2: Customized MX bikes to some degree, you can alter the plastic colours/change parts, graphic kits (limited number of kits), handlebars, hub colours, tyres, suspensions, fork colours and exhausts.
3: Bike setup, suspension tuning, low or top end tuning and brake adjustments.
4: You can buy most of the big named rider gear, helmets, boots, goggles, and chest protecters. Or you can choose not to wear the chest protector. Ride with or without a number and name.
5: Impressive life like helmet cam. Its great seeing the tip of the visor enter the view of your screen when you hit hard jumps etc. Just like real life, so to speak.
6: The only way to communicate with riders, is once youve setup a track. You wait in the hangar and send invites to your buddies to whoever has the game in your friends list. You can free ride in the hanger track while you wait for other people to join your game before its time to line up at the gates.
7: The scenery on the tracks are quite spectacular, more so some of the Nationals. Despite when most of the banners, stakes, objects get pulled over and remain on the track.
_____________________
I really do hope Rainbow addresses these problems with patches for the Playstation 3 owners, more so for online communication support. As it really takes the fun factor out of this game.
The problem is Rainbow has never been known to patch their previous games. I just hope there is a first time.
Rainbow has gave the impression to a lot of users that it was a XBOX360 exclusive and causing the Playstation 3 version to look like a quick port.
