MXGP 2020 PC PRO
MXGP Pro from 2018 was a bigger challenge for those who are looking for a sterner test. You get more wheelspin exiting a corner, and your rider’s propensity to fall off in a crumpled heap increases, but the challenge level doesn’t really ramp up. Switch it up to Advanced, and for me, the difference isn’t big enough. In Standard, it takes a big impact to dislodge your rider from the bike, and the dirt berms are forgiving. You have two options, Standard or Advanced. Much like your rivals, the handling characteristics can be benign. You feel like a motocross master after smoking them, only to be back mid-pack at the next round on the same difficulty level. There is a tendency, however, for the top two or three riders to disappear off into the distance and on certain tracks, like Russia, the whole field rides too slowly. When you find the right difficulty level, you will discover closely matched opponents that aren’t afraid of overtaking and sometimes even take a different line around the corner lap-to-lap. On track, your AI opponents are at least livelier than the progression structure. Sure, you’re benefiting your health by being active, but it’s a trudge. The net result is a career mode that plods along like a walk across a Lake District field. There’s no development of part departments nor any team management, and therefore any real incentive to invest is lacking. But that’s it.Ī Brembo or an EBC disc provides the same bump, and this also applies to items such as tyres and suspension. You buy one set that gives you ~10% better retardation, or you by a more expensive set that delivers ~20%. But you can only ever get two bumps in performance. You can buy a new front brake disc, for example, from a range of 15 different types.
MXGP 2020 PC UPGRADE
Unfortunately, the vehicle upgrade path isn’t detailed enough to keep you engaged. That all sounds enthralling, a nice work-reward cycle. The aim is to do well enough in MX2 to be promoted to the main MXGP class of motorcycles for the following season and eventually win the coveted world champion crown. Higher levels mean you can unlock sponsors that pay out more MX Credits and credits can be spent on bike upgrades which improve your performance. Items such as handlebar grips and chains and can be painted in the colour of your preference.Īs you progress through each race, you are given experience points (XP) based upon your performance, helping you rise through Prestige levels. For instance, you sign a sponsor that provides you with cash post-race, and their logo can be added to your bike. If you sign for an existing outfit, such a Husqvarna team in my case, you can still edit elements of the livery. Women’s MX, which has been around since 2005, is not included in the game. You can then choose to create your own team, or sign for an existing one.

You initially create your own rider from a selection of heads and input your name. Through the main mode, Career, you start out in the feeder MX2 class using slower bikes in 17 double-header race weeks. Somehow though, the result is a little bit plain. If you had a checklist of all the things you wanted from a yearly motorsport video game, MXGP 20 would tick most of them. Utilising the license, it has a career mode where you can take your rider from the bottom of MX2 to MXGP glory, vehicle upgrades, online racing, a track editor, time trials and even an open-world area to explore. The official game of the real-life FIM Motocross World Championship, MXGP 20 features expertly replicated bikes, riders, teams and tracks to deliver an authentic experience. But wouldn’t you rather be drinking a large mug of hot chocolate served to you by your local café, sprinkled with soft marshmallows and whipped cream? Yes, of course you would.

A renowned name, distinctive taste and straightforward preparation. MXGP 20 – The Official Motocross Videogame is like a hot chocolate from a Cadbury sachet.
