Racing in these settings as you narrowly miss trees, rocks and rivals is nothing short of exhilarating, so this very Trails mode is among the only things that stop me from calling Rainbow Studios’ latest endeavor a complete let-down. While Triple Crown and motocross events can be a blast, the real fun is to be found at the Trails-type races set in much larger environments, ranging from snowy mountain peaks and forests to beaches and sandy desert dunes. I mean, sure, you will encounter some oddly-placed jumping sections right before turns and end up flying straight into a barricade, but those are quite rare, and the overall track layouts certainly don’t disappoint. We’ll start by looking at the positive aspects, the first of which is the game’s brilliant track design and variety. With that being said, let’s see what the latest addition to the MX vs.
Getting there may require a bit of practice for those who are new to the franchise like me, so I decided to give the learning curve a good climb prior to drawing any conclusions. Although you’ll see many people dismissing Legends after a few hours of gameplay (oftentimes for a good reason), the truth is that its mechanics can be fun once you’ve actually worked them out. ATV Legends is far from being the polished title folks were hoping for, though one has to admit that it does deserve some credit here and there – in small quantities, at least.īefore we go into any more details, I’d say a quick disclaimer is in order. As much as I hate to say it, the newly released MX vs. Well, it turns out this isn’t exactly the case, and there’s an overwhelming number of players who appear to be sharing these thoughts. All that should make for a dope gaming experience, right? Not only does it promise adrenaline-rousing gameplay in a plethora of different disciplines, but it also features pretty graphics, open-world environments, and a lengthy career mode packed with dirt bikes, quads, and burly UTVs. ATV franchise sounds like a thrilling package on paper. ATV Legends is a mess of a game that either needs more tune-up time in the garage or a trip to the virtual junkyard.Developed at Rainbow Studios and published by THQ Nordic, the latest installment in the MX vs. This is made even worse if you decide to enable the custom camera, which inexplicably uses some of the same buttons as operating your vehicle.
Basic controls like throttle, braking, and steering are easy enough, but using any of the other more advanced moves is a frustrating mess. What you're left with instead is an endless stream of white noise. From an audio standpoint, the game's licensed soundtrack is wasted since you can barely hear it over the engine and other vehicle sounds. Worse still, the visuals stutter and break apart when doing something as simple as changing your look at the Locker. While the tracks and environments have some good detail, the same can't be said about the people and vehicles. On the downside, just about everything else never even gets off the starting line.
On the upside, the game's playable and there's some fun to be had when racing against friends in online or split-screen matchups.
#Mx vs. atv legends series#
ATV Legends has come rolling in to the series with flat tires and an empty tank of gas. ATV franchise brought the two-wheeled acrobatics of motocross bikes and four-wheeled fun of all-terrain vehicles together firing on all cylinders.
