MX vs ATV Legends Reviews
MX Vs ATV Legends is a fast racing title with a familiar story. With plenty of modes to select from and an array of custom options, you'll be kept busy. Though the gameplay is repetitive it never feels mundane or tiresome. This is thanks to the adrenaline-fuelled action and variety of machines on offer.
MX Vs ATV Legends seems unfinished. This is not an improvement to the predecessor; in fact, you could consider this a downgrade. You can even make a case for this being the worst game of the franchise. Although the developers are on to something with the features, on the flip side, with almost everything else that pretty much blows it out the water, I am amazed that even after going through the testing process, the developer still felt this game was worthy of releasing in this state.
MX vs ATV Legends is anything but what its name suggests, unless the team was planning on creating a game so bad that it becomes a flagbearer for mediocrity. While a AAA experience was never in the cards, this arcade racer flatters to deceive in even the most basic of areas, and instead of raising a checkered flag, it should never have made the starting line in the first place.
MX vs. ATV Legends feels outdated, out-polished, and outran by some of its competitors in the motocross genre. There are tidbits of fun to be had in the experience but it feels more frustrating to play with the number of technical flaws present.
there are just way too many technical issues, inconsistencies, AI woes, and design flaws. It’s already a relatively low-budget racer with a quite inviting price point too, but that can’t become an excuse for the launch of a product that simply appears to be unfinished.
MX vs ATV Legends is the very definition of a “mixed-bag.” On one hand, it can be a genuinely thrilling racer, especially when you’re throwing an MX bike over insane jumps and barreling around corners at breakneck speed. It’s a pity that level of fun doesn’t carry over to the other disciplines, though, and it’s this discrepancy between the enjoyment on offer in each career track that makes MX vs. ATV Legends a bit of a hard sell at the moment. That’s not to say it should be avoided at all costs, but it may be worth waiting to see what’s down the road in terms of optimization and balance, as with a few tweaks to the physics and performance, this could turn out to be a much more well-rounded package.
Despite all the content that players will find in MX vs ATV Legends, they'll find a lack of focus on the user interface and the quality of life for the players. Something that truly holds back what could have been a great motocross racing game.
MX vs. ATV Legends is one of the weakest titles released in 2022 and is definitely a direct continuation of the downward trend of the MX series. A title that only tried to use the license of MX and ATV to generate cash, and in terms of quality, it is an extremely weak title and lacks the value of experience and even criticism. Different problems can be found in each part of the game. From superficial gameplay and bad physics to the existence of bugs and technical problems. Perhaps this title can only be recommended to MX lovers for just a few hours.

Offering up something more lighthearted than a Milestone sim, MX vs ATV Legends does racing competently, be it bike or quad. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the UTV’s, or the game’s complete lack of anything outside out of its racing career modes. It’s certainly one for MX fans, but not for those looking for more content and fun in a mud-racer.
While the core racing and range of vehicles in MX vs ATV Legends are undeniably fun, the overall lack of polish and utterly disappointing online modes make it tough to recommend over its rivals.
The gameplay in MX vs. ATV Legends is a mixed bag. There’s a good amount to like here, as the bike and vehicle customization allows for players to get their ideal tunes, which is perfect for getting things right on bumpy, treacherous roads.
MX vs ATV Legends proves to be a worthy evolution of its predecessors, with an improved Career mode and the addition of a significantly large and enjoyable open world. Add to these the high degree of customization, the immediacy of the riding model, the new Trails mode and the excellent implementation of dynamic weather conditions. Too bad just for some technical flaws and the high cost of DLC.

I adored this series on PlayStation 2 and even in the Xbox 360 era, but it seems it regresses more than progresses. I didn’t think this game would be as bad as its predecessor, but it is so bland and uninspired. There are a few redeeming aspects like the controls, the new Trails mode, and the better time of driving ATVs and UTVs. I just can’t recommend this at full price, or even half-price; it’s a game that still needs a lot of work. There’s certainly nothing legendary about MX vs ATV Legends.
MX vs ATV Legends is not a bad game, but considering the benefits granted by improved hardware, and the ever-increasing scope of the racing genre, I expected a bit more from it other than just “the same, but slightly prettier”. For everything it does right, such as its great environments and lighting effects, as well as great controls, it bogs the experience down with terrible animations, a plethora of glitches, and an open world that is way less exciting than the one seen in its predecessor.
It sounded like something new and fresh was coming but unfortunately it was not. MX vs ATV Legends is not bad but not the best either.

MX vs ATV Legends manages to effectively convey the feeling of driving a Dirt bike and has incredible physics that make driving a real pleasure. Unfortunately, the game modes are scarce, with little content and it has several technical problems that make the experience not as enjoyable as we would have liked. A fun and entertaining title but could be improved.
