The genre of the next creation Rainbow Studios, created in cooperation with ThQ, It is quite difficult to determine. MX vs. ATV: Reflex – This is not just a racing arcade. Rather, she is not one hundred percent she. Thanks to the developers, driving along the highway and transport management have now become not so easy, but a rather exciting task.

Look at both

The name of the new series of the series hits, as they say, in the very apple. Reflex – this is where the whole gameplay is now built. Many modes (in solitary game, in multiplayer), a variety of roads and a decent selection of means of transportation make each competition unlike the previous one, and each race is unique. Even if this is exactly the same highway that you decided to recall, for example, in order to take a higher position in the ranking. I will try to explain what is the matter here.

Firstly, thanks to the excellent graphic embodiment of ideas in MX vs. ATV: Reflex Any transport leaves behind a unique track on the road. That is, having passed in the snow, dirt or just sand, you will “give” the route a track that in most cases will affect the rose of the opponent chasing you. In other words, when you catch up with the enemy and literally breathe in the back of the head, it does not grow tension, but you have. Because it is worth it to land unsuccessfully after a jump from a decent height and shove the tank with the front wheel – consider it bad. It’s good if it is just shaking. And if you fly to the fence, then in front of the inevitable respond. Which, of course, means the loss of precious seconds.

Secondly, dense rivalry and the passage of the track literally foreheads in the forehead often promise another sad outcome-a collision. The chance to stay “in the saddle” in this case scanty. Sometimes on the route there are several types of mobile means. In addition to motorcycles and ATV, present in the title, bugges, as well as trucks, including sports, are also waiting for us in the game. So often all these diverse representatives of the auto industry find themselves on the same highway. And then it begins, as they say, thrash and carbon. Confront those who are larger and more powerful than you is not easy and in ordinary life. And even more so if it concerns the races. So the situation is not unique when at your disposal a light mx, and the same bugges wags ahead. The second does not cost anything “by chance” the frail two -wheeled Kolymag and send it, and with her the driver, “kiss” with the nearest tree or fence. So sometimes in the first seconds after the start a heap-ral is formed by itself-irritating and seriously reducing the chances of success.

The will to win

The promotion scheme in the game rating is quite standard and understandable. With a successful completion of the race (and the indispensable condition here is in the prize three), you are opening new tracks, and also become available for purchase various vehicles. The remaining money can (or rather, even necessary) spend on the upgrade. Indeed, with all the difficulties described above, you will need a really powerful, stable and reliable iron friend.

Some changes, albeit insignificant, can be subjected to the racer himself. His appearance, of course, does not affect

professional qualities in any way, but for sure, most will want to buy their own boots wrynow or protective helmet than.

So, no matter how spectacular your ward looks, the most important thing is how he (that is, you) will show himself in the upcoming competition. To choose from a regular race, a race for starting and, of course, tricks. They are in MX vs. ATV: Reflex albeit not too diverse (the list is not very impressive), but very spectacular. And, importantly, the “pure” execution depends not only on the desired height of the jump and press the given combination of buttons.

The fact is that not only the usual gas keys, brakes and turns to the left/right are responsible for management. In addition, you can change the position of your iron friend. Suppose to soak into the air on the next springboard and, noting that the landing will occur at a rather steep turn, turn the motorcycle so that when in contact with the road, it already changes the path of its movement. Yes, it is not easy to do it. It is even more difficult to land so that all the wheels get a confident clutch on the surface. In this case, the developers offer us a good test of our own reaction. A green arrow appears on the screen, which indicates which particular direction key must be pressed right now, at this very moment to stay “in the saddle” and continue moving. They hesitated, did not have time, missed the signal signal? Then, alas, there is an inevitable fall. Yes, these are the peculiar Quick Time Events.

Of course, if the game with bots causes such difficulties, then the hands scratch the nerves online to tickle for himself. But an attempt to find worthy opponents and arrange a real network massacre literally endures the collapse. There are a huge number of modes, but only in a few of them can you find at least someone. Two outcomes are usually two: either you spend 20-30 minutes in the lobby in anticipation of those who want to ride (it is clear that there are very few patients, so setting often disappear in five minutes);or you get into the already passing arrival and sit in the observer mode until the race is over. Just not the fact that after the finish, the participants will not scatter, and you will not again find yourself in the lobby in complete solitude.

But even if fate delights you, having given the rivals and the opportunity to start the race, then after some time you will understand that everything is not so fun. The fact is that in MX vs. ATV: Reflex There is no ranking outbreak, so the chance that the only player with whom you have been lucky to join the confrontation will turn out to be the level of the twentieth is quite large. And this despite the fact that you have just started your ascent and cannot boast even the first. So literally in the very first seconds, the racing monster breaks forward, and now your fate is one – three long circles will weave in the tail and swallow dust. And having come to the finish line, get a miserable handful of “Exp”. Then again half an hour of looking for opponents, humiliating arrival and several experience points.

Actually, such a scheme in the style of “third generation” is present not only in the multiplayer, but also in the “single”. In order to pump your driver, gain access to all vehicles, open new routes and seriously surpass, you need to have a just incredible supply of patience and perseverance.

Pros: pleasant “golden mean” between the arcade and the simulator;excellent optimization;Stone (in a good way) races.
Cons: tedious pumping system;dubious physics;In an inconvenient organization of multiplayer.
