MX vs ATV Reflex (Xbox 360)
MX vs ATV Reflex (Xbox 360) Reviews
I bought this game for my motocrosser son. He absolutely LOVES it! He thinks its the best motocross game out there. Favorite part is how the game actually makes ruts like on a real track. Would recomend this game.
My son is 10 and has every MX game you can get, he says this is the BEST yet! He races MX and could list a ton of features that are realistic to racing.
The dirt, ruts, picking your gear (more choices),body movement etc. One of the thing he liked best when you can see the racers going to the pit area...so many cool things-
He would love to see a game that actually had the reall National tracks that the pro's race on like Red Bud, Budds Creek, MX338 etc.
MX vs ATV Reflex is a game I was looking forward to for a while. The reflex stick requires a learning curve but makes the game great after getting used to it. It allows you to develop your own riding style by scrubbing and whipping. I would suggest to use as little of the reflex stick as possible and just slowly use it more and more as you get more familiar. I tried scrubbing and whipping everything on the track so it took me a while to get the hang of it but on a brighter note, the dodgy pre-load function is finally gone from the previous games.
The trucks/buggies do nothing but take up space on the disc and I haven't figured out why they are still putting them on these games. For the next game, they need to listen to the people that are the most loyal to the MX/ATV series of games and cut all of the waypoint stuff and focus more on supercross and nationals.
Online play is sketchy. The best way to do it is play with your buddies or jump in and out of the desired room until one picks up. The format online is pretty bad but it is fun once you get into a decent group.
The career format lacks series'. They need a supercross and national series rather than giving a trophy for an exhibition race. Also, the AI is annoying since it seems the bikes are apparently made of really bouncy rubber as you bounce around and wreck everytime someone gets near you.
Other than a few shortcomings, this game is my favorite MX game since Supercross Ciruit for PS1. I had to give it 5 stars just for the significant improvments they have made. They have came a long way with this one and it's definitly worth the price if you have the patience to get past the learning curve.
