yea, that would be a great addition to the game

So now that this game is backward compatible on the X1 I decided to dust it off and fire it back up. To my surprise the graphics hold up nicely, looks very good on the X1X , I'm sure it looks the same on the standard X1 or X1S.

I wanted to do some Supercross racing to get myself in that mode for the release of Monster Energy Supercross the official game out of the 2/13 and man this game is still quite good. I always liked the tracks in this game and I'm really enjoying it again. If you still have it load it up on your X1 and take it for a spin, in my opinion this was the last good Mx vs ATV game made. All that followed have been huge disappointments. I don't know what happened at Rainbow Studios but some key personnel must have left after this game released because Alive and Encore are not in the same league.

Rainbow's last game was Alive. Rainbow's staff if I remember was cut in half after the release of Reflex. (THQ was going under) THQ;s IPs was bought by Nordic who made everything after Alive and is making the new MX vs ATV game as well. I believe there are a few Rainbow hold outs on the team, but not many.

I agree that Reflex holds up well as a pick up and play game, although I'm in the minority, as I enjoyed Alive more - but that might've been because it's physics suited my play style more haha.
