Xbox 360 Critic Reviews

It’s finally here. Big-time motocross and off-road racing with REAL dirt and separate bike and rider control... Rainbow Studios deliver a pot of pure gold.

The game has been built to please both the newcomers and the hardcore MX vs ATV crowd and that’s a very tough balance to strike. Rainbow and THQ can be proud of their most recent offering and there’s no way anyone could complain.

THQ and Rainbow Studios have really hit their stride with the MX vs. ATV franchise. Not only have they managed to address every minor issue that plagued previous incarnations of the series, the addition of persistent terrain deformation and Reflex rider control absolutely take this game to the next level.

The game looks incredible, but that perfect combination of terrain deformation and reflex controls, make a great combo.

MX vs. ATV Reflex is a racing game that most should enjoy.

Minor gripes aside, though, Reflex is the most fun you'll have being caked in mud.

Overall, this is a fantastic off road racing title.

Every race in MX vs ATV Reflex shows us how solid and well developed the game is. The only problems we had were related to the online multiplayer, with lag and connection drop problems: except for this, it is a milestone game for every off-road racing fan.

MX vs. ATV Reflex may not be perfect on all levels but simply put it's the best off-road racing game on the market.

For fans of the genre MX vs. ATV Reflex will be a no brainer day one purchase, and we suspect the excellent production values combined with positive word of mouth will get many casuals on board too.
