Push Square: "MXGP: The Official Motocross Game holds onto its handlebars in spite of its shortcomings, offering a solid if unspectacular motocross experience. It never really comes close to attaining a podium position, but its constant trickle of unlocks means that its presentational shortcomings struggle to detract from its curiously moreish campaign. There are more imperfections in the release than the track at Matterley Basin, but biking aficionados will find some fun here in spite of the title’s many flaws."

"There’s some tutorial videos, but the only way to get up to speed is by playing the game, probably by pootling around at the back in your first few races of the trial championship season. Bikes require a delicate touch of the throttle, and to succeed, you really need to manually control both front and rear brakes, located at LT and A respectively. More advanced players can then move on the controlling their rider’s stance using the right stick, although you can definitely get away with this on the basic physics setting. Even then, falling off can be easy, thanks to some tracks which are a bit tight on resetting you for going an inch outside the valid area and some pretty dumb AI, who seem unable to react to anything you do.
