Ever wish you could catch air on a dirt bike like those crazy motocross racers like Bubba Stewart or Chad Reed? Well now you can with MX Unleashed. This game straps you to the seat of a wild growing sport of Motocross. With excellent graphics (supports HD 480P), intense game play, and mind boggling stunts, great soundtrack, this game is as close as you can get to real racing. The controls are simple and straight forward. The best dirt bike game to date since Motocross Madness 2 on PC. I kept my playstation 2 around just for the release of MX Unleashed and I'm glad I did.

This game is very cool because you can do double back flips. Also you can race in a race. It is very fun because you can drive monster trucks and Fly airplanes. You can ramp ofver roads and on the back of trucks. You can ramp a farm. It rocks!

Best motocross game out there.

Well finally we have a good motocross game on a console. I would say it is equal to Motocross Madness 2 on PC. Even tho, the game is not out yet, I have played the demo. It is awesome. The way the rider moves on the bike is better than anything. The only downfall is the airtime is unrealistic. Still worth the money.

Pretty Good Overall

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.

MX Unleashed rocks

MX Unleashed is the best racing game I have so far. The best
dirt bikes you can get are KTM, Yamaha, and Suzuki. I think
you should at least spend $20 on this game because it is worth
every dollar.

Best MX Game Ever!

I rented this game from Top Hat because I wanted to see if I liked it before buying it. I put it in, and the intro was awesome, even though it was just shots from racing in the game.(Whatever happened to the little videos of REAL people doing stunts in video game intros?) I went into career mode, and you got to totally customize your player from his bike(including a few 4-strokes), to his outfit and colors. You ride in the amatuer 125 class, and make your way up to the big 250s. You can even ride on 50ccs and 500s. This game is awesome and 2-player is fun because you can do 2-player freestyle.

An excellent game!!!

MX Unleashed is the best motorcycle game I have ever played. It also has great graphics. If you like car or motorcycle games I would definitely suggest buying it.

great graphics but not enough to keep me going

The first look at this game is pretty impressive. The graphics are great and the rider mechanics are unbelievable. There are a massive array of Supercross, Nationals and Freestyle tracks to choose from as well as a career mode that unlocks the various tracks as you win races. Those familiar with MX Superfly will see some similiarities. This game has more in comparison with Motocross Madness though.

Once actually getting into the game one can see the flaws immediately. On the starting gate you can't rev your engine while holding in the clutch. The tracks are OK but no huge improvement over MX Superfly. Some of the jumps on the SX tracks are unbelievably massive and just seem out of place. Furthermore the airtime is very unreal and floaty in nature. The brakeslide function is nothing compared to MX Superfly when you could slide the bike very easily through the turns. The racing is also lacking as the AI racers always race in a straight line. The National tracks are highly unrealistic and do not even bear the names of their real life counterparts. One of the cool things about MX Superfly is that you got to race Washougal, Glen Helen, Budds Creek, etc. MX Unleashed tracks are in fantasyland. In addition, it is almost impossible to crash in this game. You can be pinned into a corner, go over a berm, fly about 100 ft skywards come down almost sideways and not crash.

It seems as though the focus of this game was more so on look, feel and the ability to perform silly stunts. Most of us want to race and a realistic good race at that. So far, MX Unleashed has not fulfilled that for me. I know that as I continue to play the game it will get better as I become more familiar with it. Don't get me wrong, the game is still fun but I am still a bit disapointed.

Its Ok

Mx Unleashed is a ok game. It gets boring riding around on a dirt bike doing nothing. Its fun the first couple of times you play it. Dont buy it because people say you can ride in biplanes, monster trucks, dune buggys and helicopters because the control on the biplanes, monster trucks, dune buggys and helicopters suck. Its really hard to control them and you dont do anything but get stuck in places and crash. The game is a little unrealistic because in the game youcan jump like 1000 feet on the dirt bike. The goals are mainlythe same on every level. You have to race other dirt bikers, jump stuff and race a clock. I wouldnt pay more then 20 dollars for it.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
