MX vs ATV Legends Review - The Final Verdict
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- As you've no doubt gathered by now, MX vs. ATV Legends isn't a very good game. The visual quality is rough, falling below average in terms of effects, textures and animations. Sound effects, notably the engine sounds, are similarly low-budget and the soundtrack is either an acquired taste or downright annoying (even if you're a Bring Me the Horizon fan). This could all be forgiven if the gameplay was on point but wonky AI, inconsistent and at times incomprehensible physics, unintuitive controls and various bugs just keep getting in the way.
Despite all of this, I really hesitate to call MX vs. ATV Legends an outright disaster. It's not great, by a long shot, and yet, it's sort enjoyable at certain points, in certain instances, in small doses. If you're looking for an in-depth Career Mode, an extensive open-world to explore or compelling Motocross gameplay, then you're better off looking elsewhere. Even with the lowest expectations, MX vs. ATV Legends barely passes muster.
I was debating on getting it but Honestly I feel like it’s more worth it to just fire up the ps2 with the original atv off road fury’s. They haven’t made any games that were as awesome as those were. Unleashed was probably the closest thing.
make up your on mind, don't let other's make it for you
I thought this, until I played it, when I started I thought wtf is this I may aswell be playing untamed or whatever the old ones were called, but when you play in 1st person on the nationals tracks it is actually so good, it's like playing Mx bikes sim railing corners and the tracks are op. Overall this game is very good and worth buying. The career is good too if you want o put the time into completing it
off road fury was SOOOOO GOOD.
@@crasher1996 maybe I’ll get at some point when it’s on sale or when it becomes free on either gamepass or Ps Plus.
@@HARRYAZZHOLE I have so much memories of jumping on the train. Nothing like the classics
It is so bizarre how the quality of the games in this series fluctuates so violently.
right. like the previous game looked so much better than this lol
@@fishface6247 Completely disagree with saying that the previous one looks better.
@@dr.fischie1801 you're free to disagree but "All Out" looked way better than this. Idk what GPU you're using but I have a 3080 and this looks.like garbage compared to all our.
@@fishface6247 something is wrong with your game then as legends looks miles better than all out on pc
@@Apple-xx3wh untamed has better physics than this shitty game
I miss MX Unleashed so much. Felt so smooth.
I was looking forward to this game, but then I saw gameplay and immediately it just felt wonky.
I just want a modern version of Motocross Madness 2! But I guess it's too much to ask.
Motocross Madness 2 ❤️❤️❤️ Forever my favorite dirtbike game glad to see a comment like this lol. I haven’t played my copy since going Windows 7 or 8.1 years ago and losing the ability to use hardware acceleration, can’t stand that software render virtual machine was always an option I suppose.
I wonder did others know about how to do 360s and 720s in Madness2?
It's a great game and physics are great this guy when he does reviews on any racing game his driving skills are terrible
I'm sorry but this review sounds and looks like you never played any of the games before. You struggled to get good at core mechanic of the game so of course you won't like the experience..didn't see you land a single jump clean.....2:08 like you couldnt even do the tutorial
Exactly right
Literally lmfao.
The latest patch significantly improved the game for me.
I was so, so close to refunding this game within the first two hours of playing, but decided to stick with it, luckily the patch was pushed before I did so -- it paid off. I think Rainbow studios had a tough time balancing the base level, non-upgraded MX bikes, with ATV and UTV physics. Basic tuning, even an upgraded suspension and engine greatly improves how MX's handle.
I'm an older MX vs ATV player, unleashed/untamed were the last games I played, and this series has changed quite a bit since then. It took me a while to get used to the new handling system but it's quite fun once you give it a chance.
I have my frustrations with the game for sure -- music system is super weird sometimes? Volume levels, weird panning issues, FX blaring randomly - and the online mode being highly unintuitive - career mode is pretty bland -- I think these things can be fixed in time, the developer clearly wants to make the game right.
This video review is a bit premature - I'd say give it a chance.
I've been playing this game since release date and it's quite apparent by your review you have never played an mx vs atv game before, as every complaint you made was much worse in the prior games.
MX vs ATV Reflex was the last good game they made (Alive was"ok"). Doesn't seem like they ever upgraded their game engine since then. Sad, really loved these games growing up.
The game engine had to be completely rebuilt after Alive due to the whole THQ going bankrupt thing.
They base the controls off what reflex had in regards to the dual sticks (like every other mx game since) but it is completely different.
why they dont just remake/remastered mx vs atv untamed or unleashed ,is the best game i have played
MX VS ATV All Out was better in my opinion
I will say that Mx vs atv reflex is still the best in terms of quality/controls, im not proud of that statement though, that game came out 13 years ago and its sad to say it was better
Please someone tell whoever made this game that the difficulty is backwarda
The series peaked at Reflex, Ever since then they just keep releasing another soulless trainwreck every 2-3 years.
I was looking forward to this game…then I saw the reviews 😬 so glad I didn’t preorder
Game isn’t bad
Reviews murdered this game but that’s because this world is full of nerds who nit-pick about everything. It’s a great game that’s a lot of fun. And NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY IT yet review it like they know something. Just look at how bad all the gameplay is…it’s nothing like the real game when you know how to play.
@@Trailboss11 I'm glad you pointed that out. I've not played the game, so I can't judge from experience, but whoever did the gameplay footage for this review just looks like they aren't great at the game. Not sure how many hours they have in it, but it doesn't look like it's enough. lol
@@Trailboss11 totally agree with you bud its a shame honestly iv been playing for 2 days off and on and I honestly like it definitely alot of learning to do and people saying the bike slips all over the place they literally used the stock noob bike for 5 mins and called it a bug 🤦♂️ and said refund before upgrading and tuning the bike 😂😂 makes me laugh truth is people are expecting to much no game is going to replace a real riding experience of a real bike on a real track with arm pump with the small of the old 2 stroke oil strawberry 😂😂 not in our day anyway I actually can't ride anymore buggerd up my hips and this is the next best thing I have to something I can never do so bug or not its still cool to ride with bros out on the track 🤷♂️
@@Trailboss11 I’m literally watching this video and this game looks trash
Honestly I think the ATV’s are the highlight of the game, running them around the 2022 nationals tracks is pretty fun.
MX Unleashed and MX vs ATV Unleashed were epic back in the day. But since then everything went to sh!te unfortunately. Was hoping they got back to their roots but seems nothing has changed unfortunately..
reflex is really good too that was peak for the physics imo
untamed was my favorite
Rainbow studios eh? They're the ones who made the Pixar Cars games. It'd be cool if they remade those.
Does it have the same physics and handling as reflex? That was the best one ever made in my opinion
Definitely does not
The one Motorcycle game that I remember an love was "Dirt Trax FX" for the Super Nintendo. Road Rash 3-D was a decent second.
The game is actually pretty fun in first person after that last update and 10 hours of leveling up and unlocking everything. Shame they made it such a forced grind.
Normally i like your reviews. But im sorry, your just bad at this game (thats apparent by the game play footage in this review). Its by no means a bad game. And where the hell did you come up with the "small and not much going on" maps? They are pretty damn massive to me with a decent amount of stuff to explore.
Apparently the default settings are set to crap. If you change steering to dual stick or single stick it completely changes everything and becomes a very very good game
Wait hold on is this actually a game for consol and pc? Thought it was for phone due to it looking so low pixel
The older titles are so much better. I don’t know how they make an already existing franchise so much worse
What is so complicated about the handling and physics they did it in the past and they keep not getting it who is pushing it out when it handles the way it does they have to know it looks and feels ridiculous
They fixed the physics
Lots of specialists who fine tuned the physics in previous games are no longer part of the company. It’s been over a decade… companies change dude. At least they are fighting to keep their heads above the water.
Rainbow literally needs to just copy and paste mx vs atv reflex and just very slightly modernise it. How they are going backward since 2009 is crazy
Most of the people who worked on those older games are no longer part of the company. It’s been over a decade. People move on to greater things if they are good at it.
Like why cant we just get a solid remaster of the classics
So from what I see they've changed nothing and improved nothing despite having the better processing power of next gen to implement improvements... Sad thing is no one else has ever bothered to compete in this market
Damn I just want a decent motorcycle game...
You are complaining about the physics, yet land a jump at a 45 degree upward angle and take off of one leaning forward the whole time… 🤨 they aren’t perfect, but like really?
Besides customization this game is awesome, first time playing I hated it and it’s been growing on my every time since
It looks like the biggest issue here is, primarily coming down to the physics and handling. It looks like turning and drifting is, kinda stiff. With you blasting forward when you end your drift on an ATV. Not sure if that applies to quads though. Honestly, if that was tightened up, I'd say this would be a pretty solid "mess around and have fun" kind of game! Hope to see it get some good upgrades in the future, and new entries int he future, work on improving the parts that havent worked, to get the core fun focused in.
Your reviews are always better than IGN...that's fact
The plague is better than IGN… That’s fact.
Being gay is better than IGN...that's fact
@@viktor45511 what’s wrong with being gay?
Didn't say that
@@Pittaz Shut up
It looks beautiful on ps5 what did u review on? Sucks no adaptive triggers tho
I disagree. Looks horrible, and the opponents at the start run at like 5FPS. The sound is also really bad. I'm so glad ps plus gave a free trial.
Adaptive triggers upset my arthritis, I'm old lol
All I can say is thankfully I had a 2 hour trial to play and didn't even use half of that before making my mind up. 19.99 but not full price game.
Open world until you get bounced off the invisible walls after driving straight for less than 2 mins.
I think the game is really good especially when compared to all out.
i played hella unleashed as a kid and am i crazy for hearing this review and thinking this just sounds like MX vs ATV? all of this sounds like my experience with Unleashed and i fucking loved it lol
I don't think there will ever be a competent racing game
MX vs. ATV All Out is way more fun.
After the new patch 1.07 the game feels much better, and alot got fixed!
I still think they peaked with MX Unleashed and have never been as good since. The dual stick control is annoying.
I like this game so much. A lot a lot a lot of track so tx you for releasing this game. Worth it.
The game is hella fun. Just wish it's not buggy as hell. One bug I hate the most is me not able to do Career mode with my Manufacturer bikes (Honda, Suzuki, etc.)
Gaming company’s literally advertise a fun polished experience, then produce trash.
Newer players might enjoy.. but OGs that started with mx unleashed or mx vs atv will not enjoy.. I feel like I’m playing a ps2 game. The controls are horrible and the rider feels so stiff.. they had a good thing going on with reflexes controls.. it felt perfect through reflex and alive.. I don’t see why they wouldn’t just keep those physics for this game… solid 2 out of 10 for me.
Wow, this guy has no clue how to review games, this game is 35 quid and seriously worth it
I waited 6 months months for this to come out cause I really enjoyed “all out” and after playing it for a week I went back to playing Mx vs atv all out
It shouldn’t have even been released I’d gladly take a refund. Here’s why.
The game has a strong core. Certain shit definitely pisses me off though. The maps are big but useless, the storyline of the game is for an 8 year old, and the AI Difficulty is trash. There’s no reason I should be able to get a 45 sec split time on GOAT Difficulty on a CR125 in a 450 race. The wheelie dynamics are garbage. The crew 2 has better wheelie physics. The customization is shitty. The biggest thing is that there’s NO PLASTICS ON PURCHASED BIKES. I was pissed to know I spent $10 on the Honda pack to not be able to get shit for it. The audio needs work bad too. The graphics should be significantly better too
They just released a patch to fix most of the wonky sliding so they are listening
Needs more updates. This game has potential. Has alot of issues that shouldn't be happening. Controller just stops working for no reason. The smoother I go the more often I have to reset the Controller. That's the main issue. There's more. Super annoying. Wish they'd drop a game that wasn't so riddled with bugs. This game isn't worth it at this point. Unless you like being frustrated.
Sounds like that’s your xbox or whatever fuckin with it
I haven’t had any issues with my controller.
Are there any other games like this that are actually good? My nostalgia has me craving the same experiences I had back in the day when playing _Unleashed_ and _Untamed._ Anyone have any suggestions?
Reflex and Alive while vastly different installments, were the last good games in this franchise, Reflex being my all time favorite. Still Play it from time to time on PC.
I play on Series X. This game is fun, visuals are clean and crisp with great lighting. Tracks are amazing with dirt deformation. Handling and physics are way better than all the reviews are saying. Tons of content most fun I've had in a racing game in a long time.
Righto bot
@@TheShepdawg9 thankyou for putting this man in his place
@@TheShepdawg9 playing on the series x aswell and all out is better than this
This game or MXGP 2021 ? 🤔
My last bike game was excite bike 64
It’s really hard to explain the game is full of bugs and terrible sound. But for some reason it keeps me coming back everyday.I’m on the series x and the load times at the worst I have seen to date but like I said for some reason I sit through them to play the next track.
Wich Game Should I buy : this one or mxgp pro
the bike keeps wheeling over humps not the controllers either.anybody know why?
I love the game but I absolutely cannot play it unless I’m in first person mode, the game just feels terrible. Honestly alive felt better than this and that came out 11 years ago
Personaly physics wise this dominates its area only considering that other games in its category like mx bikes and some other pc games that take alot of bandwidth and power to run even at medium standards they still lag and fall behind. Personaly the physics in this game and the control are definetaly different but there moderate and you kind of adjust after time. I only bring this up because his reaction and ideology of the game seamed a little harsh...
Just ordered the game, hope they've increased the difficulty of the AI? otherwise I'm staying with multiplayer only.
Shoutout to the Rohan who edited the video👍🏾
I'm glad I decided to see the reviews first. Cause I was just going to buy it, thank god I didn't lol.
I've never purchased a game and deleted it faster than this one 🤣 back to Monster Supercross
I’m actually having a lot of fun with this game on my Xbox One X (not series).
I would like to know how the free ride is. Can you just ride some trails in the woods without racing?
Yes
Disclaimer. This video is super super negatively biased. (While showing off how cool and beautiful the game is)
Ughhh take me back to reflex, untamed or unleashed times 😢😢
unleashed was an absolute banger
Why is this new one so hard and the customisation so shit?
Guys can you please make a video on games with best night environment or night life or night visulas as i enjoyed night life here in LA in wanted to know which games portrayed best night visuals for example games like gta v, cyberpunk 2077 or stray , this could be an intresting topic as i searched and found nothing related to this on youtube..
Why do they feel the need to add gimmicks like preload? It just ruins it for me
It feels glitchy and pixilated is my biggest issue. Just doesn't run smooth
Messed up all they kept was rainbow bikes and charge for brand names when they use to have it all
MX vs ATV Alive is still so good!
Is the handling old school, like reflex and alive?
No it’s nothing like reflex. Reflex was the absolute best game ever. Don’t know why they don’t just copy and paste that game and put good bikes on it and new tracks
The AI in this game is flat out awful. And there is zero difference between the easiest and hardest difficulty. Either way, I'm racing by myself in first place with the 2nd place finisher being 45 seconds behind
This game has been updated alot recently and it’s awesome
I’m glad I saw this video because I was about to buy it
If I cased every jump I’d be mad too
How you gonna judge a game, but suck at playing it, ur gameplay was roughhhh
Another bucket of bolts.
Rm when circle was a can can,and down circle was lazy boy. Good times
With AI, more so in I guess milestones side. Id love more consistent. And even if 3 stats. Speed, aggression, control. Or just Set each AI rider hard, Realistic, a few extra Realistic, some med. So series are more a 3 or 4 guy face off. And the tracks more spread.
Mx vs Atv Reflex is still the best Mx vs Atv game ever made (imo)
Why can't these idiots just remake MX vs. ATV Unleashed? It was perfect. They keep changing formulas and trying to fix things that weren't broken. Only to eventually break them in the end with a game like this.
They just need to remake Alive
I still play MX Vs ATV Unleashed.
Bummer. I was hoping this would be better then this. So many of these types of games leave me very disappointed.
Definitely needs work , anybody else get stuck with a stock 125 2 stroke at the 250 sx west, as well as the remainder of the career?
Reflex was and always will be the best Mx vs atv bring it back
My buddy says it feels like ice when riding the mx, he rides dirt bikes for fun, but does anyone else agree with this?
I would take sliding over the issues I have with the game. You have to tune the vehicle to get it to stick better. Still slide a little. Not as bad.
It’s not a sim. It’s not even advertised as one.
@@zacharietelles7626 doesn’t mean that the game can be lackluster
If y’all can’t just get a the bike to not slide then just say that
SO GLAD I didn't buy this! Clearance purchase her I come! lol
Man yall Gotta play it for yall self
Just feel like reflex had the best looking bikes an clothes just looks plain and stiff
review null and void for using 3rd person cam
Looks kind of fun to me, probably better to ignore you.
Would help if the reviewer had a grasp of moto at all…
So what game should I get I steady
MX Vs ATV Untamed on X360 and PS3
the interviewer cant rly play😮
Dude this game is so fkn terrible. Ive been playing it for 2 weeks now and I thought maybe it would take just a little time to get used to but no. Each time I play it I hate the game even more than the last. Its constant sliding and random kicks from all directions are the most annoying thing you'll ever experience. You can't even stay in a straight line without the bike wanting to slide away and lose traction. Oh, and don't forget how the bike loves to just skip over every bump to point your skipping off the side of the track crashing. Its a bad game, I don't think anyone at thq rides dirt bikes or ever even has before, cos these physics have really set the bar high in terms of garbage. Im trying to get a refund cos this game aint it.
