MX Unleashed 2004

Is it still worth playing?

In career mode of this 2004 motocross game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox you need a top three finish to move on, and the environments are large and open. Freestyle mode has target landings and timed point scoring, and some races put you against unusual vehicles such as buggies, monster trucks and helicopters. The suspension is the trick to learn: you push back on the shocks at the bottom of a hill and release at the top, which gives a springboard effect. Beyond that, wheelies and stoppies need you to tip your weight at the right speed, and you can do stunts in the air. The hills are still what to play it for today: weight and suspension timing, not only speed, decide how you take one.
