MX vs ATV Reflex Review

Dirty business or stuck in the mud?
Rainbow Studios' off-road motocross titles have done an admirable job over the years. But as is the way with a successful series, there's always the need to squeeze out the last few dollars and improve the formula in the process.

In some respects, MX vs ATV Reflex does exactly that. The deformable track surfaces add unpredictability to some of the more confined courses. The rider reflex ability (a quick-reaction controller movement that can prevent you from tumbling from your bike) keeps racing fast and flowing. Plus, the free-roam Waypoint races, Motorstorm-esque Omnicross events offer frantic, satisfying racing.

But the need to diversify hasn't been totally successful; most of the four-wheeled vehicles on offer feel limp and dull and act as padding more than a genuine addition. Reflex is another competent Motocross and Quad racer but misses out being the comprehensive off-road title it wants to be.
