MX Unleashed

Rainbow Studios does what it does best in this killer motocross racer.

By combining impressive physics, slick controls, vast environments, and fantastic animations, developer Rainbow Studios (ATV Offroad Fury, Splashdown) has crafted a challenging and addictive motocross racer that successfully delivers a realistic riding experience without getting so caught up in many nuances that immediate fun is sacrificed.

Featuring a slew of sprawling, outdoor motocross courses and treacherous indoor supercross tracks rife with hairpin curves, jumps, and obstacles that you contend against, the main name of the game in MX Unleashed is to cross the finish line first, though you are encouraged to string together tricks when airborne to rack up points that you can use to unlock new vehicles and tracks. Unleashed has some crunchy sound design, bursting with roaring engine effects, although the staple X-xtreme sports nu-metal soundtrack feels more like a hard thigh massage than a kick in the teeth. Smooth handling is complimented by solid physics, while the opponents boast A.I. that is much more balanced than Freekstyle?s rubber-band rivals. Challenging and addictive, motocross fans could do much worse than throwing down the nickel for this one.
