I hate you for showing me this game.

Knowing how MUD was, I don't expect this to be good. But it looks so good, I'll still spend money on it day 1. Then be disappointed.

Then I shall hunt you down and kick you in the teeth.

OK--I got in a few laps at the tail end of my lunch time, and I was very surprised. The bikes didn't float TOO much, but they had a little more bounce than in reality. But using the R stick to dig my weight into the rear tire or forward in a corner was actually really believable.

Heading down a straight, I couldn't just hold back on the R stick, as I popped a wheelie for a good distance. So it's not as simplified as lot of MX games are. The ruts don't seem to be all that realistic, as you can slide right across them and not really dig into them, so I'm not sure if it's just a graphical effect or what.

But what it did do is make me instantly want to buy it. I could lean back and drive off of a corner hard, but screwed myself up with that approach once, and ended up fishtailing back and forth as I tried to accelerate and ended up shooting the bike right out from under me.

I was very, very surprised. If the career is any fun, I'm going to be putting some serious time in this one.

Thanks TC for the impressions. I hope a demo comes to the US or EU psn soon.

I'm in the US, and I got the demo. So it's definitely stateside.

I only got to turn a couple of laps, but it really felt like a nice balance of realism and playability. I wasn't fond of Mud's 'powerslide everywhere' physics, but greatly enjoyed this one in the limited time I had.

I mean on the psn, not steam. is it on psn already?

Pretty good game. Im not sure how long it will hold my attention though. I feel like a little more polishing wouldve really helped the game but then again its the only company to push a new MX game besides nordic games (mx vs atv)

Pretty surprised, the separate controls for bike and body make a lot of sense if you have ever ride a Cross Motorbike or even a Bike.

On Pro physics and Realistic difficulty, it's hard enough, on the first races i couldn't do a full lap without falling down.

The only issue I find is that when you fall down, you are up in the bike too fast, in real life you would lose more time after falling down.

The bike setups are too basic, you can tweak a lot of parts of the bike but it's always between three settings.

Overall is a fun mix of arcade and sim.

If the career mode is bugs free it could be a very fun game, starting as an unknown rider with your own bike and trying to climb up the ranks to be offered a bike from the top brands.
