If you're off even the slightest bit, you're bound to go flying off your vehicle, costing you precious time. My only problem with the physics is the unforgiving nature of landing jumps. All of the National courses are well-designed and feature a good amount of jumps.īoth the MX bikes and the ATVs behave realistically, and the turning controls are tight.
Nationals is far better than Supercross, thanks to the fact that it features larger outdoor courses (as opposed to Supercross's indoor arenas). Supercross and Nationals are the primary race modes, although there are also less enduring modes such as Waypoint Race and Hill Climb. There is no actual Career Mode, but it features several different modes. I can pick up my DS and play a round of Tetris online in the amount of time it takes to load a single MX vs ATV race. I've said it before and I'll say it again portable gaming systems need pick-up-and-play games, not games that take two minutes to load. It featured all the modes and cars from the console versions, but was virtually unplayable due to the unacceptable load times. Midnight Club 3 comes to mind immediately. This loading issue has singlehandedly ruined many PSP games for me. I timed it several times, and it usually took between 1min 20sec and 1min 45sec, depending on the track and number of opponents. The main offender, however, is the loading of the actual race. Each time you click an option, it pauses to load the background image file before allowing you to make another selection. Simply navigating the menus takes a good deal of loading. On the Edge still features a lot of tracks, but the constant long loads and lack of a career mode really drag it down. The latter version featured tons of vehicles, tracks, challenges and most importantly, passable load times. That's kind of what playing MX vs ATV On the Edge was like for me after playing MX vs ATV Unleashed on the consoles last year. You'll see a lot of it.Įver go back to watching a VHS of one of your favorite movies after you've seen it on DVD? It doesn't look quite as good, doesn't have as many features and is generally nowhere near the general quality of the DVD.
Learn to hate: The little spinning "loading" gear. Good: Solid controls, realistic physics for the most part, track designīad: Sense of speed, unforgiving when landing jumps, soundtrack, no career mode
