Motocross is a difficult sport and, as in the real thing, getting away from the start quickly proves crucial, avoiding the inevitable carnage of the opening seconds. Should you experience the nightmare of a first-turn spillage though, your rider wisely assumes the foetal position until the rest of the field has circumnavigated his stricken body.
The pressure of leading is tangible though, and the fear sets in when you hear the growl of approaching bikes behind you. When playing catch-up, you can often see your airborne opponents in the distance, and clods of earth are tossed into your path from their back wheels. For anyone who has ever attempted actual motocross, the old magic soon comes flooding back and certain real-life tactics apply in this game, the developers clearly having done their homework. Motocross Madness is by no means a simulation though, and is more of an ultra realistic arcade game, providing an idealised version of the sport, whereby twatting your face on the handlebars results in no more than a few seconds delay, as opposed to a few hours in hospital.
The game is by no means easy though, and hours of practice allied with extreme concentration are a must. It isn't the kind of game you can play while idly chatting. Motocross Madness is a lot of fun, and unless you don't like fun, it's a game you should seriously consider purchasing.
Still need a good reason to buy a 3D accelerator card for your PC? Microsoft's Motocross Madness lets you do it in the dirt on stadium supercross tracks; in Baja checkpoint contests; and in awesome no-rules, free-roaming desert stunt courses. Everything's shaping up to be fantastic here--topnotch physics, detailed player models, excellent track construction, and a great sense of freedom. The game supports the new Freestyle Pro controller, which lets you lean into turns simply by tilting the gamepad.
Multiplayer motocross matches make it even more fun, and a track editor completes the package. Off-road fans, don't dare miss this one. Motocross maniacs now have a PC alternative to their dirtbikes. Microsoft's Motocross Madness delivers thrills for both racers and stunt riders--especially if they're using the right equipment.
Motocross Madness gives you a variety of racing choices, as well as first-rate tracks and an excellent-handling bike. MM includes everything from tough indoor Supercross and outdoor Nationals tracks to a teeth-rattling desert Baja track to outrageous stunt quarries that offer hours of replayable, air-grabbing fun. But while MM is long on variety, it's short on graphical details. Even though the game requires a 3D accelerator, the textures and particle effects lack total realism.
They're solid enough for this arcade-style romp, but you won't feel truly dusty after you wreck. The sound features buzzing motorbike engines and an appropriate hard-rock soundtrack that loops intelligently when you wipe out. Your choice of controller will have a lot to do with your enjoyment of Mo-tocross Madness.
A game pad will do nicely, as will a joystick--and a force-feedback stick is better yet. However, if you really want to experience MM in style, you would do well to hook up with a free-motion controller, like the Sidewinder Free-style Pro: To steer and tilt your bike, all you need to do is tip the pad in the preferred direction. And this type of controller is particularly fun to use while racing through the stunt quaries: Pulling up to get air on a huge jump is as easy as getting out of bed.
Adding a premium peripheral to Motocross Madness ups the price tag overall, but it also ups the Fun Factor. However you choose to play, though, Motocross Madness is a welcome leap tor racing enthusiasts. Motocross Madness , to be exact. Motocross Madness gives you the choice of four different types of competition. The first three are all track-style races.
Baja is a sort of cross-country race in which you ride from checkpoint to checkpoint as quickly as possible. National races take place in a trench-like environment. Supercross is an arena-based track with lots of bumps and jumps.
You can tweak the number of laps, the amount of challengers, even choose the style of bike and rider for the specific type of track. Better still, the game offers some mean competition over the net with up to seven other opponents. Try locking wheels with a bunch of buddies who love to watch you wreck and see how far you can get around the track! The game is well balanced and a kick to play and the only real complaint spawns from the game's hefty system requirements -- 3D hardware a necessity because of the game's photorealistic imagery.
As in most fast-paced games, the smoother the animation, the easier it is to control. So if you don't have the hardware, don't bother with this game. As a final note, we've been playing Motocross Madness with all sorts of controllers, including force-feedback sticks, control pads, even the keyboard. But the one controller to keep an eye on is Microsoft's own Sidewinder Sensor.
While it controls most racing games well, it really fits this game perfectly with its handlebar shape and control method you tilt it, and it recognizes the subtle movements left, right, back, and forward. The controller isn't perfectly suited for all types of games, but if you're looking for something different and versatile as well as something that fits this game like a glove , Microsoft's controller definitely fits the bill.
