With high-profile games such as MotorStorm and Dirt already released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the bar has been raised for recent off-road racing games. Rainbow Studios' MX vs. ATV Untamed feels a lot like previous entries in the MX vs. ATV series and, as a result, doesn't meet that same standard of quality. Nevertheless, despite its problems, Untamed manages to be a worthwhile and jam-packed off-road racing experience.
The Good:
Fun variety of vehicles. Outdoor courses are by and large very fun Lots to keep you busy in the game.
The Bad:
Not a great-looking game, especially on the PS3. Landing jumps can be unforgiving. Several events are more plodding than fun. Freestyle events don't feel like they fit.
