There isn't really anything wrong with this game. And that's kind of the problem — let me explain.

What I mean is that because the game essentially does nothing wrong, it doesn't do anything interesting either. It's just another of these cookie cookie supercross/MXGP games that Milestone loves to make. And to make a long story short, I wouldn't bother with this game.

I picked this game up on a whim during a Fanatical sale. And I still don't think it's really worth it. It just doesn't do anything different.

• For one, bikes slide through ruts, they don't feel particularly heavy or “weight-y”. Generally feeling more arcade-y than my own experience when toggling around the assists in the MXGP series.

• The career calendar is lacking, rest days are static, promo and media days just give you more fans or money with a small cutscene. They feel hollow and meaningless. Career feels very strait-forward, it does still have sponsor offers, however.

• Track degradation seems to just “happen” based on duration of the race. As the tire ruts don't actually seem to be retained for any significant amount of time.

It only let you access the weekly schedule.

Training will net you more prestige and you're able to challenge other seasonal riders to a 1v1 time attack in a cornfield. Technically it's the same compound that can be access in the main menu for free roam.

Otherwise the game is a relatively standard affair. You have the regular adjustments like joint brakes, rider weight-shift assist, changing the distance in-between the wheels to be more aggressive in turns vs making the bike more unstable. Although, scrubbing a ramp is manual — at least for it to be effectual. You can sort of.. fake a similar motion in the air without it actually altering the trajectory. Surfaces do feel remarkably different, sand, mud and dirt feel appropriate.

Everything you do goes into a rider prestige which unlocks cosmetics and there is a track editor present.

The one unique (or at least interesting) thing I found in the game is the Flow Aid. Used to help you navigate the bump sections of tracks better.

The soundtrack is pretty good. Though, it's mostly punk rock and thrash metal. There's a distinct lack of Djent — if you catch my drift.

I can only really recommend if you're a really big supercross fan, and even then it's a little lacking. I'd wait for a heavy discount or just skip it.
