Nov 19, 2018 MX Unleashed combines a lengthy career mode with Freestyle worlds whose layouts play more like a Tony Hawk game. This isn't a reinvention of the wheel by any means, it's just that its execution meant that I actually gave a damn about a motocross game for more than ten minutes.
It's also a completely fresh start for THQ's MX franchise, and quite a good one at that., as far as basic design goes, is not unlike any other motocross game you've ever played. You want to come in first when you're racing and score a lot of points when freestyling. Unless you've got serious problems, you can figure this stuff out without reading the manual. But where this game shines is in execution. Everything is tuned to near perfection.
The career mode, while not exhausting, lets you choose your own play style. The trick system is fairly basic, yet showing your stuff feels fluid and natural. The physics are top-notch, and best of all, the controls are tighter than your belt after a Thanksgiving feast. Turkey and wine. Gameplay What's absolutely excellent about MX Unleashed is its control and physics system, which go hand-in-hand.
The responsiveness of the controls is dead-on. The turning radius is tight and quick, tricks are responsive and your rider just does whatever you tell him to, as long as the environment and gravity agrees with you. Everything just feels right. The physics system is what really makes riding the bikes feel great, though. Your speed, angle of your bike and how you're balancing your weight all affect how your bike responds to the terrain.
