Re: THQ Considers MX vs. ATV Alive a Sales Disappointment

As bad as the game is, with a decent patch it could be fixed. All they have to do is tone down the crazy bike physics, get rid of the stupid rider perks and the bar banging system, and patch in some type of career mode if possible. Last years Reflex had it's issuse but was a very solid foundation from which to build on. Why THQ did not do so is puzzling to say the least.

Also the pricing of the DLC is a huge problem. Why would I pay $3.00 for one bike when I can play a game like Shift 2 and get 13 cars for $5.00? The track packs are a rip off as well, 2 tracks for $5.00 , other racing games give you 6 to 10 tracks for $10.00.

I almost bought this game when it launched and then I looked at all the junk you had to buy to make the game complete and thought it was a total ripoff. I hate how Tiger Woods does it, releasing an incomplete game for $60 and then I have to buy more courses. Screw that. The $40 price point was right on except the game wasn't complete. Not to mention these ATV games drop fast. In 6 months I'll be able to pick up a used copy at Gamestop for like $15. These guys should rethink their marketing strategy. Even I was confused about what was in the game and what wasn't.

Can you even patch something as significant as an entire "career mode".

Rainbow being gone is the problem. Rainbow Studios did not make this game Digital Studios Phoenix did. I actually think Rainbow Studios is no more. I've read that THQ bought them out and most of the key Dev's left. Rainbow has made solid MX games since the days of Motocross Madness. I don't see them listed on the game box or in the credits of Alive.
