But what if they shut down their live marketplace and you could never upgrade anything? then you are left with a barebones game you cant do anything with, AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. To be fair, this game was sent on a platform where you pay less in the beginning (i believe it shipped at 39.95) and then you pay to upgrade what you want through their live lobby. The game can't even really start until you get to level 25, where most of the bikes and tracks are unlocked, and by that time most gamers will be fed up. there is a lame attempt at medals for coming in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, but they do not match difficulty, so if you get 1st on average, there is no difference made if you get 1st on 'pro' or 'all time'. so basically everything you do is exhibition, it means nothing. Which just serves to punctuate how it failed at everything else. All 6 that I'm giving are for the actual riding gameplay, which is nailed, everything from computer riders to the fact the track changes with grooves from each lap. All 6 This is a game that gets the Riding aspect of motorcycles and ATV's absolutely RIGHT and exactly nothing else even comes close to right.

I wouldn't take a way a bit of the control and I don't think it makes things more difficult for rookie's, just leave the difficulty setting appropriate until you're ready for the additional challenge and control. Prior to 2004, Rainbow Studios was just another in the long line of almost unknown game studios. I do have to say though, all this makes it difficult to play properly for a noob, but if you can't seat bounce or control the clutch, you don't really have to worry about it. There is no other motocross game (just like there was only 1 matrix). The weight and clutch control, seat bounce, scrub and whips, all of this is a really nice touch add the control that was missing from every other racing game I've played. The fact that you don't get knocked off the bike with every little bump now is awesome. The reflex control returns, and that's awesome. ATV Unleashed is a fast-paced and fun-filled arcade racing game, loaded with enough variety of content to keep you engaged for quite a while. There is no other motorcycle game like this, and the fact that it's dirtbikes makes it that much better. There is no other motorcycle So, I agree with most of the reviews that there isn't much to this game outside of the racing, but who cares.
