The AI riders aren’t very difficult at the easy or medium setting. Luckily you can set the physics to your liking (base, medium or pro), so if you’re finding it a little difficult you can set the physics to base level which is more forgiving. It can be a little bit frustrating though, with the unpredictable in-game physics leading to some odd incidents, with the deformation resulting in certain crashes at some points along the course. After a few laps the course begins to wear away leaving deep groves at the turns and jumps making the racing just that bit harder. The deformation of the terrain is a really nice touch to the game. While the riding may not be as fluid as what we’ve seen in the MX Vs ATV series such as Reflex and Alive, it’s still smooth and enjoyable. Using both analogue sticks the left to control the bike and the right for the rider’s lean, you can easily turn sharply or control your riders balance in and before jumps. Motocross bikes are of course menacing machines in real life, but thankfully in MXGP they are easy enough to control. The tricky courses mixed with a grid of twenty-two riders makes each race unpredictable as you get to grips with the physicalities of bunched riders and changing terrain. It’s intense and wonderfully challenging, leaving you mentally drained by the end of each race. Having a lot of content may be great – but how does MXGP play? Thankfully, it’s brilliant – the racing is full throttle all the way to the finish line. The only noticeable omission is split screen racing, which is a real shame. Or you can take the race online in the online season mode and standard races. There are plenty of offline modes to twiddle your thumbs trough including a fully fleshed out career mode, time attack sessions, and single grand prix and championship events. The PlayStation 4 version comes equipped with a few changes including four new tracks, deformable terrain and lighting and audio improvements.īefore you even jump into your first race you’ll notice there is a bundle of content in MXGP. You might remember that MXGP, which is the officially licensed game of the sport, previously released on last generation consoles earlier this year. The muddy tracks, tricky bikes and gritty racing are what I consider pure racing, and MXGP does a fantastic job in bringing that to the PlayStation 4. Despite not keeping up to date that much with the real sport outside video gaming, I’ve found myself to be quite the fan of Motocross.
