Review for MXGP Pro. Game for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the video game was released on 29/06/2018
The Milanese studio Milestone developed the first episode of MXGP, the official video game of the motocross world championship, in 2014. MXGP was created for all generations of consoles supported in that year (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) and received generally positive feedback from critics and audiences. In the following chapters, MXGP 2 and MXGP 3, available only for the latest generation consoles, Milestone has tried to increase the quality of this motorcycle series. After exactly one year and one month from the release in physical and digital stores of MXGP 3, Milestone has packaged an even more engaging title with a greater simulation will for motocross fans, to this we owe precisely the "Pro" present in the title . MXGP Pro is available from 29 June 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
We have to be honest: the learning curve of MXGP Pro is steeper than its "big brothers" and is due to the introduction of a new model of physics, called Pro. The introduction of this physics has allowed the developers to intervene the player on all control of the bike and on the weight management of the centaur. The aerial control of motorbike and rider is in fact very important not only to obtain positive results but also to avoid the rider from ruinous falls. Putting our vehicle sideways while it is in the air is important to recover a few hundredths of a second that can make the difference between victory and defeat at the end of the race; the management of this maneuver, technically called scrub, has improved compared to the previous chapters.
Your rider's home will be the Compound, where you can begin to get familiar with your bike; the thirty challenges included in this mode will serve you as the first obstacle to face, by overcoming them you will surely have acquired a good technique that will allow you to tackle the other modes without any help driving.
In addition to the usual game modes, the Extreme Career mode stands out in which the player will be faced with a very high challenge as every form of driving aid is deactivated, so you will have to bet on all your skills as virtual pilots in order to obtain good results. The difference between the Extreme Career and the simple Career mode is made by the spirit with which you will face MXGP Pro: if you are looking for an easy-to-learn title, the Career with all the aids activated will offer you the greatest satisfaction giving your experience a similar feeling -arcade, while with Career Extreme you will need a lot more involvement.
Unfortunately, some of the historical defects of this series remain present, which it is hoped Milestone will be able to remedy with future titles: the pilots' artificial intelligence remains the same as always, all have a defensive style and tend to follow the same trajectories. , animation sector that appears rather limited and slow loading of textures while editing the rider's outfit.
At a graphic level, MXGP Pro is not on the same level as MotoGP 18, the Milestone title dedicated to the World Championship, I think more by choice of the developer than by the technical limits of the Unreal Engine management; being a title with a definitely smaller catchment area than the aforementioned MotoGP 18, Milestone has tried to reach a compromise between graphics and time to optimize everything. The audio sector is good, the roar of the two-wheel engines is quite faithful and a voice that introduces each stage of the world championship.
MXGP Pro has among its merits the desire to make the challenge offered by the title even more simulative, inserting a significantly improved management of the physics of the bike and rider, the addition of the Compound that goes to make learning the game something more. than a simple tutorial. The historical defects of the series (and in general of almost all Milestone racing games) remain, a real shame for the fans of the MXGP championship who are facing a partially unfinished title again this year.
