♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is the REFLEX system horrible. And why does driving in mud feel like I'm driving on solid ice? Horrible handling for an offroad game. AI constantly crashes as well. Absolutely ruins what could've been another cool MX vs ATV installment. The introduction of terrain deformation is very cool though.

game is almost 20 years old and beats any other MX game in terms of physics and dirt deformation. all the new games have going for it is graphics because of UE4 and 5

Reflex is often highlighted as one of, if not, THE best motocross games of all time. This title marked a huge change for the series in many ways. It introduced dual inputs for not only the bike but also the bike, which gave players access to much more expression both on track and in the air. With it was the reflex system, which would be used on subsequent games, as a way to possibly save a bad landing from becoming …

Recommended on decent sale. The good old days... where have they gone? Massive fan of the older MX vs. ATV games, and this one delivers that nostalgic hit perfectly. Gameplay still holds up, graphics are decent enough, maps are solid, and the AI does its job. No bugs during my playthrough. Online is mostly dead, but you might still find a few stragglers here and there. If you're on ultrawide there’s a fix online to …

MX vs. ATV Reflex, developed by Rainbow Studios and published by THQ Nordic, is a standout title in the off-road racing genre, delivering an engaging mix of realistic physics, responsive controls, and dynamic environments. Released in 2009, the game built upon the foundation of previous MX vs. ATV titles while introducing innovative mechanics that set it apart, most notably its dual-analog “Rider Reflex” control …

93% of the 143 Steam reviewers we collected recommend MX vs. ATV Reflex. The complaint that keeps coming up: reflex system and handling are frustrating. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The Xbox 360 version received "generally favorable reviews", while the PlayStation 3 version received "average" reviews, just one point shy of "favorable", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. A large portion of praise had gone towards both the new control scheme as well as the terrain deformation. Many acknowledged the game's successful separation of the rider from the machine with the rider reflex dual-analog control. Dakota Grabowski of GameZone said: "A wonderful foundation has been set and it's now time for Rainbow Studios to expand on what they have set up with their next iterations. The future is bright and fans should be rejoicing". Austin Light of GameSpot said…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is staple MX versus ATV. No DLC corruption. Look at the slop that came after this. This was their last best game, in totality.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best mx game out there! needs more games like this and i mean exactly same with bigger jumps and more maps tracks this game gives me a sense of freedom and i wish more games were like this. truly a masterpiece
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game will not run on windows 11, but for those of you who have windows 10 or older it will work just fine, shame because i put a lot of hours into this beating the career and getting every achievement i could IT IS the best game in the mx vs atv franchise, if your OS can run it go for it, but if you are running windows 11, it will not work, even the settings option before launch crashes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the best game if you have a bad pc. i only have a 1030 and for other games other than roblox its cheeks. but this game brought a new perspective to me i havent played this game since i last had a xbox360
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When i tried mx vs atv reflex, i was very exited, cool riding gear, and i like the addition of utv, trophy trucks and sport buggies, and i planned to play mx vs atv alive but it's not available on steam, what a bummer of alive, but reflex gives this nostalgic feeling that i never had a chance to play mx vs atv in my life, my mx vs atv journey started on supercross endcore, now im on reflex. I highly recomend this game for those who miss those times, although i was born on 2006, hahah. that's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →#1 MX ALL TIME, whenever you start getting bored you can just change vehicle class and its fresh again. cycle through them over and over and the fun never stops for those frustrated here is a big tip no one anywhere talks about: this game has ridiculous engine braking so if you just release throttle and go into a turn your rear wheel slides out and you lose all speed. you have to hold clutch when you release throttle and your bike will stay stable, and not slide out. There is also the concept…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i loved this game back when i use to play on a xbox360 with my dad, and i forgot about this game after many years of not playing games but after getting a new pc and getting steam this game was like being in a time warp and after getting bord of the base game itself i was quick to find that there is a whole universe of fan made maps, custom bikes, real motocross and supercross tracks and more, that is when i finally watched enough youtube videos on how to transfer the files into the game, but…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing to re-live this classic from console days on PC! Best movement and physics of any mx vs atv game IMO.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought MX vs ATV Reflex about ten years ago for two euros and never played it until a few days ago. I finally gave it a go, and honestly, it was a nice surprise. It feels like stepping straight back into the early 2010s. The menus, the soundtrack, the bright bloom effects, and the style of the tracks all scream that era. There is something comforting about it. Games back then had a kind of raw energy that did not try too hard, and Reflex fits that perfectly. For a game from 2010, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great introduction to motocross games. I bought it for cheap and it was definitely worth it. I have moved on to Legends, which is a bit more complicated. Reflex is better as a first game to see if you like the genre because the controls are simpler and the physics make more sense.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best whip sim out
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I definitely misjudged this game around when it actually released back on xbox 360, I was just too in love with MX Unleashed still to get into this but I 100% missed out on a banger MX game. Wish they would make another gritty dirtbike game with banger metal music like this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing Nail'd this game is pretty fun and closer to ATV Offroad Fury Blazin Trails from PSP. It's not as fast action and simple as Nail'd. But it's more realistic and harder to control the damn bike and I haven't even got to ATV yet. Online base is very small close to being dead but it does have a working online session and private session. Game runs well but I'm such a noob and keep crashing and breaking my back and legs in this game XD. Feel free to message me if you have the game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SEGA Rally is a must own. Massively overlooked arcade racer. Always thought deformable terrain was the future and it just didn't really happen for whatever reason. That MX vs ATV Reflex game has really cool deformable terrain as well
neutral · AI labelView post →Without any doubt. One of the best "not-so" arcade racing games, only behind the Dirt franchise.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this might just be the best mx vs atv game in the series. while i believe legends is better for being modern and more bikes, this game isnt paywalled, the ktm stuff is cool and the 'fake' bikes have their own charm. the gameplay is spectacular but the whips are lacking but oh well. its a must play for sure
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for about an hour and omg this game still keeps up with games 16 years later. 100% suggest.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game, massive learning curve, but fun! +nostalgia +fun +budget
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Growing up on my 360 playing mx vs atv untamed and actually riding dirt bikes, this game is peak, also the fact that this game came out in 2009 and that I got it for under a dollar is just mind blowing. Also the mods just make it a little bit better, there are some things that are a little annoying but it being old makes those certain things make sense and I love the dual joystick setup as it feels like u have more control. All n all, a probably 8.5/10. If it had the graphics as of now it would…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →greatest game of all time, 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a great game its one of the best motocros games i have ever played the scrubs are amazing and the whips are to. the graphics are a little out dated but it is definatly worth the money!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Probably one of the best motocross's/etc that can be played on a Steam Deck without DLC annoyances.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit old but Solid Gameplay. In my opinion the best feeling game in the series.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best mx vs atv game ever created
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →greatest game for motocross hands down !!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just an old game, didn't enjoy it as much as the fan base of this series does. It has plenty of things to do if the gameplay loop is attractive to you. However, I thought it was going to be a bigger deal based on how the comments were glazing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still a top tier MX vs ATV game but does not live up to the hype. The ridiculous physics that make no sense and don't even get me started on how easy it is to drift and slide out in corners... You don't hardly ever drift a dirt bike IRL, it's not really much of a thing (I used to race dirt bikes avidly for years). The whips suck too. Alive is superior in every way. Better physics, animations, graphics, more content, better tracks, whips, etc. Shame that it isn't on PC. I will still recommend…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game. Though for those of you who are more used to mx vs atv legends or unleashed the physics are a bit of a acquired taste My only complaint is that you can't enter the tracks in free roam like you can in other games I'd still recommend it though
