MX vs ATV All Out is available now on Nintendo Switch. But, with an imbalance between the titular MX and ATV and a lack of variety in the meat of the base game, even if you just want to waste a few evenings bouncing around dunes and zipping across creeks you might find like me, it’s not much of an evolution. MX vs ATV All Out gets the balance between the fun of an arcade racer and the replayability of a more difficult technical racer just right, giving racing game enthusiasts of all kinds a chance to play around and have fun with enough depth of content to manage a middling replayability factor. Track variety, customization options and at least bike controls are excellent, and even if you’re constantly coming in 8th, you’ll make enough money to tinker in the garage and with tuning, and eventually buy higher end vehicles capable of giving you an increasing amount of advantages that will, with any luck help you break into some of the higher difficulty events, earn more money and keep progressing. Character models are blocky, making the race babes even cringier, and draw distance is low, though vehicle and rider detail, and even fabric textures are beautiful, which creates a sort of confusing dissonance or uncanny valley kind of feel.įor all its problems though, MX vs ATV All Out still manages to be a good time. And while you could chalk that up to it being a port of a game from 2 years ago, there’s a host of examples of ports that have better polish, including Nintendo’s own Mario Kart that put that excuse to bed.
Graphics too are nothing to write home about.
#MX VS ATV SERIES#
Courses are fun and well thought out, and these races and series are a great time, but I couldn’t help but wish there was a more balanced mix. In fact, the bike physics were so fun on the tracks it started to remind me of one of my favorite games of all time, SSX Tricky.Īnd, though the game implies you’ll get some sort of cool points for that in the end the only time that such combos and tricks really matter for anything other than a crowd roar here and there is in the freestyle events themselves, which unfortunately, like the Waypoint races, are few and far between even if you do purchase the DLC. As I was failing a bunch of races and figuring things out, I was still having a great time learning to cut clean lines and land stupid jumps I should likely not even be attempting.
It feels a little skatey at first, but with a few simple upgrades to handling and suspension, you’ll be carving your way around tight corners and landing ridiculous jumps before you know it. You’ll start off on the bike, which was a bit of a caution flag for me, as I’ve usually leaned towards a more steady on its feet ATV in these sorts of games, but it turned out the bike is really the way to go, and though the game in some cases requires you to use an ATV or bike only, most events and single races can be completed on either.īikes feel great, and I believe Rainbow when they say that they pioneered bike racing physics.
