The MXGP series has always been a solid-looking game when it comes to the graphical side of things, so the fact that this year’s game looks better on the new systems is no surprise.Īlthough the improvement may be expected, it doesn’t mean it isn’t appreciated. It didn’t take long though, and once I achieved that, it carried over to the rest of my experience from there on out.
BETA MXGP 2021 HOW TO
The one caveat to all of this is the fact that I did have to teach myself how to ride and control my bike in all aspects again while on the track. The physics and weight improvements were also incredibly helpful while attacking the deep berms, especially during inclement weather. Not only does the weight have an impact during bends and turns, but it comes into play both with bumping up against your opponents and landing those big jumps with accuracy and control. That’s a very difficult accomplishment to pull off and deliver for a developer, but Milestone really did its homework here and nailed the feeling. The weight is so well dispersed throughout the bike it created a realistic feel and made me feel like I was on the bike. The newly implemented bike weight really evened out the handling of the bike, especially during my attempts at an S-curve, or shooting off a rut coming out of a standard turn. The weight of the bike is probably the biggest improvement for me in MXGP 2021. These things helped me enjoy the game on a much deeper level. With the improvements this year, those complaints have been eradicated as there is a noticeable difference from the last few versions in the physics, weight, and handling departments.

One of my biggest complaints over the last few years was the bike, regardless of which one, felt feather-light and somewhat difficult to control in a realistic fashion. The bike just feels heavier, and that goes for both the 250 and 450 versions in-game. The minute I released the clutch for the first time, I noticed the difference both in weight and experience. Although Milestone has been reluctant to add sweeping changes year-to-year, the developers have always felt very comfortable changing the racing model and physics - and this year’s version is no different. What I Like – MXGP 2021 Review On-Track Experienceįor me, the improvements that I witnessed, felt, and enjoyed in MXGP 2021 start and end with the on-track experience. With that in mind, let’s get into my MXGP 2021 review and chat about some of these items (and more). Waypoint Mode – Place your waypoints in the new compound and share your tracks online. Multiplayer – Even more tracks created by the community, online challenges in Waypoint mode and race director mode. Game Modes – Single races, time attack, Championship or Waypoint mode. Track Editor – Create stunning, lifelike tracks with the new and more powerful track editor tools with different terrain types, variable heightmap, modules, and the Holeshot. History is ready to be rewritten…and become a legend. Legacy Tracks – Relive the emotions of Ottobiano, Ernée, Leon, and Agueda: 4 of the most celebrated tracks of past editions. Choose between official or custom teams, work your way through contracts and sponsors.

A renovated career path where your every decision will be crucial. New Career Mode – Your race to become number 1 will be even more realistic and exciting. All of them, from the last corner to the first position. Official Championship 2021 – All the tracks, all the riders, all the official bikes to fully experience the true emotions of this season. Sadly, the pre-release hype doesn’t always match the actual release itself, and fans are left feeling like they were taken or misled. That’s always exciting to hear, both as a fan of the series and as a reviewer. Some years the release has been well received by both fans and media, and other times both sides of that coin have been against some changes.Īccording to Milestone, quite a bit has either been improved, revamped, or newly added in MXPGP 2021.

With the MXGP franchise, it has always been about small steps forward, and occasionally a step or two back. But even as a favorite of mine, I am not blind to some of the issues, and the inability or unwillingness for Milestone to make major improvements on a yearly basis. The MXGP series from Milestone has been a favorite of mine since its inception back in 2014 with MXGP: The Official Video Game.
