THQ today announced that MX vs ATV Untamed will be speeding on to the Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, DS, PS2 and PSP in January 2008. The game promises larger, more populated open-world environments and an X-cross career mode showcasing all eight vehicles and the all-new EnduroCross mode.
EnduroCross uses the game's cutting-edge Rhythm Racing physics engine, pitting gamers against obstacles such as logs, rocks and mud pits. Opencross mode will allow players to tear through treacherous trails against other vehicles and the stadium-based Supercross mode makes a return. All of the modes will be available to play online.
Developed by Rainbow Studios, MX vs ATV Untamed will feature supercharged next-gen racing action, with throttle-based power slides, near upside-down whips and scrubs at full speed.

Oh wow I haven't played DOA2 Hardcore on PS2 in years. If this comes I'm buying immediately.

Well if i had to choose i would say motorstorm, but thats just me.
Grats to THQ
Well, there aren't too many serious, multiplatform competitors in the genre (DiRT being the only one I can think of), but these are still good numbers. I'm not a fan of the series, but I did enjoy Untamed.
I never really liked off-road racing for some reason... it just never really excited me.
Grats to THQ though, good sales for them means good for the industry, which means good for us.
You need to play Pure. I dont like off-road racing, but hot damn if that isnt the best one out there.
This looks like it could have some good offroad excitement. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be junk on the Wii.
...I'm also waiting for a "next gen" Excite Bike for the Wii! I'd love that...
This feels sooo last gen...
