Like last year’s Xbox Live Arcade racer Joy Ride Turbo, Motocross Madness is a download-sized racing game built around your Xbox Live Avatar, offering a somewhat limited racing experience that will be as fun as it is short-lived.
MWEB GameZone writer Zubayr Bhyat collects and talks about some games you should introduce your children to. There are some interesting surprises here, you should really take a look.
Great choices. Being able to game with your kids from a young age has so many positive aspects to it.
You can teach them abt online conduct
Introduce them to gaming
Increase their cognitive abilities in a fun way
Great activity and fun for parent and child
Gaming that is used to re-inforce good behaviours = win. You can give your kids a good time with gaming without having to resort to the vioulent ones. Respect those ratings.
Also, turn your child into the crafter, the hauler, the button-masher-when-you-don' ;t-want-to, the extra DPS; the list is endless!
Seriously though, play games with your kids, don't let games replace you, as a parent. I've seen and heard of so many wonderful examples of kids playing with their parents together; one of the best ones was a single mom play Call of Duty 4 with her son, and they were both very good, and made it briefly onto the competitive scene. She contextualised the entire thing from one end to the other, and its a passion they both enjoyed.

For a game with ‘Madness’ in its title, you would forgiven for expecting something truly off the wall; perhaps even wacky in the vein of SSX Tricky or the kookier Tony Hawk games. But, unless seeing your avatar riding a dirtbike donned in Gears of War head-gear and cowboy boots sounds in any way ‘mad’ to you, Motorcross Madness doesn’t quite hold up its end of the bargain. What’s on offer here is a plain Jane arcade racer with about as much personality as a stack of cardboard.
Game Rant: "Motocross Madness is the game that a majority of longtime series faithfuls would expect from a $10 installment. While it’s short on content, what is present manages to be a very fun, pick-up-and-play racer that almost anyone can jump into with relative ease. The inclusion of upgradeable dirt bikes and an XP meter scratches the itch of players looking for something a little deeper, while still keeping the overall experience simple and satisfying."
