The verdict
A promising sim-cade motocross game with the series' best terrain deformation, graphics and physics. Handling is inconsistent and content is thin, so skip it if you want a career mode.
Great for
Motocross fans who want a sim-cade racer with superb track deformation and can handle a learning curve
Main risk
Inconsistent steering and rut physics, no career mode, little customization and shaky online feel unfinished
What players love
Best-in-class track deformation
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 positive reviews
“The terrain system, and especially the way it deforms, is simply the best I’ve ever seen in any motocross game to date.”
