![]() ![]() When it comes down to picking out new parts, or a new bike entirely, there really isn’t much reason to choose one manufacturer over another. It’s certainly not a required function, and pro players may opt to simply turn the entire feature off before a race and earn a little extra credit for doing so.Ĭash is a very quickly expendable resource in the racing world of MXGP3 and you’ll often be blowing it all on the next essential upgrade to, in turn, place a little higher in the next race and earn more money. I was no stranger to taking advantage of that feature on tracks that feature back-to-back turns and my bike just couldn’t handle the way I wanted it to. Similar to how it functions in Forza and other racing titles that offer a Rewind function, players can rewind up to the last twenty or so seconds of a race and seamlessly make adjustments if they suddenly crash or lose too much momentum heading out of a turn. Thankfully, the Rewind function makes its return from last year’s MXGP2. I have a tendency of cutting corners a little too sharply in MXGP3 and have lost a number of leader positions by slipping into someone else’s line during a turn and flipping my bike after losing balance. If you’re sitting towards the rear of the pack, this can often be a benefit to help gain a little extra momentum by taking someone else’s rut but can also work against you if you’re not expecting it. Throughout the race, new lines are continuously cut into the track as players ride and cut corners at forty kilometers per hour. It’s about that feeling of sticking your tires into the wet earth and cutting your own path along the track. Motocross is not a clean sport it’s not something you can wear your Sunday’s best to and hope to make it out in pristine condition. If you’re a trophy hunter, it’s worth tackling this mode with the France team for a quick and easy achievement. If you’re feeling like playing something more realistic, the Monster Energy FIM MXoN lets players take control of real life MX riders from over twenty countries to compete with their chosen bikes in a three-race championship. In addition to the standard career offering, MXGP3 offers the full selection of tracks and weather conditions for both AI matches as well as online championships and Grand Prix (which also feature AI riders if you need to fill out the twelve-player roster). It’s a little thin in terms of content, but it’s just a small incentive to keep pushing the player into the number one position. The challenges rarely deviate from beating a specific player on the leaderboards or finishing a Grand Prix with a certain number of points. Modeled after real world motocross teams, each offers a team jersey and official bike to get the player started with additional challenges to help earn a few extra credits. That much stays true in MXGP3’s career mode, where different teams and sponsorships are available to give the player a fresh start. When you ride in the MXGP, you do it for the team. As the newest title in the MXGP series, MXGP3 once again returns with a laser focus on the motocross discipline. ![]() In that time span, the studio responsible for WRC and Ride has quietly made a name for themselves developing the official motocross game with their latest installment, MXGP3, soon to hit store shelves in North America. There haven’t been as many titles focused on the dirt and mud with Rainbow Studios, of MX vs ATV fame, being silent the past couple of years. While Forza and Need for Speed have been tearing up the asphalt streets, some might say the muddy arenas of motocross have been often overlooked. ![]()
