Career mode does what it says on the tin: you are a rookie rider, starting at the bottom, and must work your way to the top by joining a real team or making your own – the choice is yours. There are a plethora of modes to choose from in MXGP 2020, so whatever you are in the mood for, as long as it involves bikes and mud you will be well-catered for here. Any attempt to go a little freestyle in your race is met with this message, so you will ride as MXGP 2020 wants you to, without fail.Īnyhow, let’s not get bogged down with fine details just yet and delve in to the structure of the game. You see, if the game thinks that you are about to crash, it immediately stops you and teleports you to the middle of the track (while all the other riders stream past, effectively killing the race for you), all before smugly announcing “Collision Avoided”. I’m guessing that this is not a function that is deployed in real life, as otherwise MXGP would be the safest motorsport ever. However, a special mention has to go to the zealous collision mitigation system employed in the game. The sound is bang on as well, perfectly capturing that “bee in a tin can” buzz of the Motocross bikes as they pound round the track. Yes, these are the real deal, and whilst sadly I’d not heard of any of them, it’s nice to put a name to a rival, isn’t it? Graphically the game is very good indeed, with the replica bikes looking suitably shiny – and with a vast array of customisation that can be actioned, both to the bikes and the riders, you can always nail the look you are going for. Everyone’s favourite rider is sure to be represented, from “that bloke in the green suit” to “that other bloke, on the red bike”. Now, with this being the Official Videogame of Motocross, you won’t be disappointed to discover all the correct riders, machines and liveries from the real-world sport thrown in to the game.
