Ranking EVERY MX VS ATV From WORST TO BEST (Top 7 Games Including Legends!)

[@ethanz0221]

For untamed, I think u should use the ps3/360 versions when ranking this game. The two versions are WAYYYY different and the ps3/360 version is my fav game in the seriers

[@walkerwillis646]

Yes I agree I spent hundreds of hours on untamed on my 360. It was a great time for when it came out

[@nathanjoshuas4852]

I've only played reflex and I have had it for 2 years but they just reversed and barely changed some maps. I don't like what they did to the one Supercross track where they took 1 turned it into 4, but The physics are amazing.

Mx vs Atv Unleashed was one of my favorite overall games! I loved the way they felt part of the world and the ragdoll. The ragdoll I could never get over, it was so awesome! I just don't think the other ones look as good in that aspect, they seem way too stiff. I would love an Unleashed remaster!

God, I loved Unleashed. It's the only one in the series that I've played. I remember not really playing the single player all that much, but multiplayer? I and my cousin would play it for hours. We made our own game modes with our own rules. It gave me some amazing memories.

[@TheTenthFloor]

Sick video, worth mentioning too that Rainbow Studios also made Motocross Madness for the PC in the late 90s/early 2000s. Really clear precursors to what would go on to become the MX Vs ATV series. Would highly recommend Motocross Madness 2

[@RetroRiders_250R_Magazine]

I was just thinking about Motocross Madness the other day. It was my college game!

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

Also some of the games, such as ATV Offroad Fury 3 and 4 were developed by Climax, which also produced ATV Quad Rower Racing 2 and would later go on to develop Split/Second, honestly they had a lot of good racing games in their portfolio. It's a shame Disney shut them down just so they could claim the studio as a loss on their taxes

[@Mr2it3881]

As a MX guy I never listened to the soundtrack, 1st thing I do is turn it off. I have all the MX vs ATV games but I didnt buy Legends. Didnt like All Out and Legends physics look very 2005ish.. Though Reflex was amazing to this day. I cant believe in 2022 we cant have a MX game that is actually good. Milestone games are soooo close but until they free up the physics I'll never buy another cookie cutter Milestone game. I'm a pretty simple guy, all I want is a Reflex 2.0. It can have generic bikes and gear, I don't care. Rather have great physics than to look pretty like a Milestone game. Shit give me a remaster of Reflex! The reviews on Steam killed me buying Legends because I was going to get it after work but it has mostly negative reviews! Happy my hopes were in check, actually I was never excited for another MX vs Atv game after Alive came out.

[@PotatoeJoe69]

The PS2 version of Untamed is NOTHING like Untamed on the Xbox 360/PS3. The 360/PS3 version of Untamed is the best MX vs ATV ever released. It has a billion times more content than any other MX vs ATV, and all of it is fun

[@RomeroMero255]

For REAL. People always say Reflex is the goat, don’t get me wrong, they have good taste. But Untamed is the best.

[@jobymiller2982]

as a non gamer and somebody that doesn't keep up with new game systems and games. i really enjoyed unleashed when i was a kid. i used to race atvs so when this game came out it had actual real pro atv racers and actual atvs that were identical to what pros raced. i think that carried a lot of charm for me. to be able to race your hero's with there atv was sweet.

[@KR000SIS]

The PS2 untamed for me is super fun I love the extra bonus tracks like the scrap yard and the national tracks had some of the best jumps

[@tsunderemerc2963]

I remember playing the shit out of MX Unleashed as a kid, so I adore that game, then I later played Reflex as my next 'main' game in the series. My next game to try will definitely be MX vs ATV Unleashed, but Reflex really is unmatched.

[@Nothinghere42345]

Does anyone notice how more and more vehicles kept on being removed on every single MX Vs ATV Game since Untamed?

[@marelius87]

Yeah, which is sad, since they bring much more variety to the game.

[@popadoopa295]

I came to this video looking for what game to get since I played Reflex way back and felt like getting back in and was wondering which games are better than reflex. But I suppose I’ll just get back to reflex then! Great video btw, very descriptive and great commentary overall

[@jensonthompson4767]

Great video my man!! One thing I will mention is that you were actually playing the inferior version of Untamted. The PS2 version is really unleashed.5 like you said it is but the Xbox 360 and PS3 release is a MASSIVELY different game due to the limitations of the PS2 at the time. When it comes to Supercross Encore I have to disagree and I think it's only because of how bad it was at launch and I think it taited my view on the game ever since, I remember all the outdoor tracks but 2 running like dog water and the tracks were just copy and paste from Alive and to me that just felt super lazy. Maybe I wanted new and original outdoor tracks but combining essentially 2 games with the *subjectively* inferior physics engine. Other than that I completely agree with everything else you said here. I love this series and I'm super passionate about it, again love the vid man glad this showed up in my recommended

[@TotallyTubularJonathan]

[@iannalmeida4579]

I really wanted to understand why so many people love mx vs atv reflex. I had the physical media of the game for ps3, I played a lot and I have just the opposite experience. First, the pros: *the degradation of the dirt and sand is very good and realistic *We got a lot of different racing modes and variety *The reflex mode was a good refresh to the franchise and for the good of the physics. BUUUT, The Problems: * I thought the mx bike brand variety very poor, we have just a few types with different cc *GOD, THE PHYSICS... I don't understand why they do compliments about the physics, I swear, I only felt that the vehicle physics were good only for 250cc bikes. After unlocking the 450cc the physics just went nuts, every little rock and bump makes the vehicles fly like they're made of plastic! The bikes are a little less worse but the atvs, utvs and trucks are completely shit to control, every little change on the ground makes they fucking roll and fly. I really don't see where the physics do work in this game. * The soundtrack for me it's the worse of all mx vs atv saga. It's generic, it's repetitive, annoying and forgettable. Thats my vision of the game, I kinda agree with the fact that this game have a lot of things to do. But I think it had lesser content than the previous games, graphics could be more beautiful and the main thing: If the physics of this game were more grounded it could be the perfect game. But it wasn't. Not for me.

6:30 No Jonathan, I am NOT looking for realistic MX games. Games like MXGP and Monster Energy Drink Supercross are my least favorite games. And I am rating it as how much fun I get playing those games. The real reason why I bother with MX vs ATV is because those games are guaranteed arcade games (or sim-arcade). Adding sim racing to MX games destroys that aspect of "fun".

[@UnlovedZetsu]

My point is; Games are meant to be fun. If I want realism, I would buy an actual bike.

[@TotallyTubularJonathan]

@@UnlovedZetsu fair points made. It all comes down to personal taste. I can’t comment on those monster energy supercross games but I personally do not really like sim racing games in general outside of the GT games Forza and Dirt rally. It’s why mx vs atv is my favorite mx series and atv series but off-road fury is a close second. I’ve even looked at other arcade style racing game series on my channel if you are interested.

@@TotallyTubularJonathan And yeah it does come down to personal preference but some players (like myself) grew tired on sim racing throughout their lives and realizing how not fun it is to "just" sim race. I just came from iRacing and GT7 and got sick with those games because of how serious online can be and it creates things in your mind like anxiety and depression (I don't know about other people but for me it does) hence why I quit those games and decided to just have fun and play games like MX vs ATV and Rock Band.

[@UnlovedZetsu]

Ima say it cus nobody else will. Mx unleashed. Let you fly. Like. I look at any other mx vs atv game. And i just see the vehicles all falling so fast. The characters look so large in comparison to the bikes, the jumps all look so short. Mx unleashed let you. FLY. every jump even over a simple hill would send you flying 30-50 yards and large ones made ya feel like you were jumping s football field. I look at any footage of the games after mx vs atv unleashed. You see how fast the gravity pulls you back down. You have like 1 second of air time. When you used to have 5-6. And the moment youd hit the ground with the newer games it feels like it takes forever to accelerate. Unleashed youd feel like a bat out of hell even the newest game doesnt have that feeling of speed. So what they need to do. Fuck upgrades. Every bike is the same. I get it makes it feel more realistic. But enough upgrade systems. Have all bikes be cosmetic unless if its like a CC difference. 2 bring back that bat out of hell feeling that the older games had. The older games feel larger, the jumps are longer. The speed of how you hit a jump and you could just fucking SEND IT. 3 the jumps. Imagine an arch in your head. And how you would imagine a bike soaring off a jump. Would it be like an arch where gravity pulls it back down to the floor within 1 second. Or would it sort of rise slowly and then fall back down slowly with a second ish at the peak. Fix the angle and the dam gravity. Cuz i wanna FLY.
