MX vs. ATV Alive Review

MX vs. ATV has quickly become the go-to franchise for motocross fans looking to get their race on. With this year's iteration, MX vs. ATV Alive, THQ decided to change things up a bit. Instead of releasing a fully-loaded, and fully-priced, game at launch, they opted to offer the "core game" at a reduced price of $40, and supplement it with downloadable content after launch. While the idea sounds promising, the reality is that right now, Alive just doesn't have enough content to justify even the reduced price tag.

As the game's title suggests, players can race an assortment of MX bikes and ATVs in Alive. Unlike traditional racing games, players have to use both thumb sticks in order to race, with the left stick controlling the vehicle, and the right stick controlling the rider. It takes a few races to get used to the game's control scheme, but once you do, you'll be hooked. Shifting your weight to lean into corners feels natural and is extremely satisfying. There are rider assists to help newer players who have never played a motocross racing game before, which certainly helps those who are looking to branch into the genre. Overall, the racing action in Alive is fantastic, for newcomers and series veterans alike.

Collisions play a much larger role in Alive than they did in the previous title, Reflex. The physics of how players crash into each other has been completely reworked, and is much more realistic this time around. Instead of simply crashing to the ground when you hit other racers, you can save your bike through the wreck avoidance system. If it looks like you're about to take a spill, an arrow prompt will appear on screen. Move the right thumb stick in same direction as the arrow in time, and you won't wreck. The wreck avoidance system definitely rewards those with quick reflexes, and is very well implemented. Arrows thankfully don't appear on screen every time someone lightly brushes up against you, and some wrecks are so devastating that they simply can't be avoided – just as it should be.

Right now, there are only three game modes in Alive: National (which are standard races), Short Track, and Free Ride. As you race (no matter the mode), you gain experience points which increases your overall level. As your level increases, you unlock more content. While the idea sounds cool, the system for unlocking new stuff is downright bad. At the beginning of the game, there are only two National courses to race on.
