If you've played anything involving off-road motorcycles or ATVs, you've played this. So let us look at the actual racing action, which can be summed up in a single word: bland. "High quality gameplay can overcome almost any technical issue and redeem any game!" I'm a firm believer in that, Jimmy Talks-to-Websites. There's no announcer anywhere, no voiceovers, and no alternate background music. This music is awful and comes in small quantities - maybe a dozen tracks that you'll hear over and over - and while you could mute it, that leaves nothing but the chirpy whine of engines. Unfortunately, it didn't really work the first time (except in rare circumstances), and when you're getting down the third stringers who aren't recognizable enough for a major label release, it's like napalm in your auditory canal. Lately, licensing alternative-pop-rock-punk-polka-whatever has become all the rage, and while EA Trax might have been the first, it seems that everyone is copying the idea now. The music itself deserves special mention. The sound, on the other hand, may as well not exist consisting of nothing but weak engine sounds and the occasional grunt. The video even suffers from a lot of digital "noise," distortion like what'd you get from a bad antenna signal. Don't look for audiences or any signs of life because there's nothing outside of the fixed track boundaries of note. Spare in effects, the graphics look like something from the early PS2 days the tracks themselves are brown mud bogs with no frills beyond a few bushes and shrubs. Not unlike the engines in many a dirt bike, the core powering MvA is decidedly wimpy. According to the box copy, all of these vehicles will get together and burn rubber using a bold new physics model and so on.Īs soon as you power this up, the doubt will set in. MvA includes a menagerie of non-standard rigs planes, helicopters, baja buggies, monster trucks, and roll-caged golf carts race alongside the namesake motocross bikes and ATVs. Through a quartet of long races, you'll tear through mud pits, over hills, and around sharp curves at high speed. MvA is another entry in the ever-popular off-road racing field, sporting everything you're used to and a few other nifty neatos. ATV: Unleashed hits that rule head on and gets concussed for the effort. Even when you tack on gimmicks like weird vehicles, a space setting, power-ups, or whatever, it's still the same basic concept underneath it all. At the end of the story, it's always the same intrinsic elements: going fast by whatever means, in an attempt to reach the other end before the other racers or within a certain time limit. There's only so much you can do with racing.
