Background information
Nordic Games picked up this adrenaline pumping, multi-million selling racing frenzy in 2013 and reignites the MX vs. ATV flame from where Rainbow Studios left it. After assembling a core-team consisting of former MX vs. ATV staff along with other high-profile developers, MX vs. ATV Supercross is the first project that the new team started to develop and continue Rainbow Studios and motorsports' enthusiasts’ vision of the game.

Welcome to my review for MX vs ATV Supercross Encore
Developed by: Rainbow Games
Published by: Nordic Games
Release Date July 15th 2016
Price £23.
99
The MX vs ATV series isn't a new one by any means, and has been around for quite some time. Saying that, I have never really given the series much in the way of attention, aside from playing a 360 release some time ago. As much as I like racing games, I go through phases of playing them until my fingers bleed, and then focusing on say, RPG's for a while. So imagine my excitement when I received a code via email. I had looked at some game play footage, and gotten quite excited at the prospect of giving it some welly on dirt bikes and ATV's.
So, how has the series fared with it's latest release, this time on Xbox One. The latest tech in a home console, surely it is going to look absolutely amazing and play like a dream, right? Well, that's where the problem lies. It is not the perfect game by any means, but at the same time, I don't think it is all that bad either. Sure it is a little rough around the edges, and could do with some extra polish, but does i have that cheeky charm to keep you playing it, or at least enjoy what time you spend playing it? That question goes to the individual that you are.
If you are one of these gamers that must have 60fps, an the most insane graphics known to man, then you may not be interested, or impressed if you do play it. On the flip side of the coin, if you are like me, and not too far away form 40 years old, then you will remember a time of the Commodore 64 or ZX Spectrum, and the amazing HD graphics they...sorry, I can't even make a joke about that. The graphics were bad looking back,and I guess the point I am attempting to convey, is that for me, graphics don't affect my ability to enjoy a game.
MX vs ATV does have some issues that could have been rectified before release sure, but I found my experience an interesting one to say the least. The Career mode has enough events for you to participate in, with both MX bikes and ATV quads, giving you a generous amount of value for money there. Considering it has been given a price tag of just £23.99, that is actually not a bad deal. Fair play to Nordic Games, I for one am impressed, as releases in recent years have been more than that.
But what else do you get for your money? Online MP sadly doesn't cut it. Several times I attempted to play with a friend, and we just couldn't get a game going. I know my internet isn't that great, even with Fibre, but I can still get connections on other games. Ooops, that does not cut it well with the Beaver here.
Moving on from the MP component, we have Single player option to venture into. Freeride. A series of tracks, and open sandbox areas to race about in and throwing stunts in mid air, but very little else to entice you into actually staying in there. Sure it is a place you can grab a few achievements away from the AI, like pulling wheelies and stoppies without having to worry about collisions and losing a race, but the incentive just isn't there. You do get Rhythm races, which is a little bit interesting, but again, not a game mode that has been given much in the way of any expansion on what is there. Could have been incorporated better for sure.
You have the option to customise your bikes, quads and rider from the main menu, and these are unlocked from finishing in the top 3 of each race.
This offers an incentive, as the better upgrades you unlock, the better your performances will be. Works well, and no complaints from me here.
The one complaint from those in the know, will be the DLC. So many have complained about the lackluster offering of the Fallout 4 Season Pass, and the infamous price increase to offer us what some call "lame" content. But over here on MX vs ATV Supercross Encore, you can buy individual DLC packs, or you can buy the mighty all in one pack that gives you everything for a whopping £44.99! Yes, that is correct. A hefty amount and considering you pay nearly half for the game, I just cannot see people clamouring to buy the DLC for it. Having a mad day at the office on that one Nordic/Rainbow. Still, you don't have to buy the DLC, not for this game, or any game for that matter. But at least you can buy smaller chunks of it should you so desire.
One noticeable inclusion I really did like, was the arenas, with cheering fans filled to the roof.
The races had atmosphere injected into it, and races didn't feel like a chore. I felt as if they were cheering me on, willing me to cross that finish line first, or fall off for what felt like the umpteenth time.
Graphics: Comparing this to the 360 release, and you will not see any difference at all. The texture pop in and clipping just shows a lazy and quick attempt to get the game out in time. If the resolution had been worked on, as well a the aforementioned issue, it would have looked so much better/ I know I said graphics are not an important issue for me, but as I reviewing this title, I have to remain impartial and report the positives and negatives.Rainbow Games could have made better use of the Xbox One with this release, and I am hoping that the next installment will rectify the matter. But the game isn't a shoddy mess. But does need work.
Music/FX: The helping on rock and pop/punk as background music suit the feel of the game, but none of the tracks blew my mind upon hearing them.
I prefer lesser known punk bands that don't regularly appear in games anymore, not even Tony Hawks. Engine noises an crowd cheers aplenty, and it does feel as if you are in an arena. A satisfactory job.
Gameplay: A tricky one to learn from my perspective, as you need to utilise the RS when taking corners, which gives you lean, and you will almost be horizontal on some occasions. A feature I can honestly say, took me a while to get used to. But if you don't make use of it, you will struggle to get anywhere, and fall behind the pack. When making jumps, moving the sticks whilst pressing RB will perform stunts in mid-air. More often than mot, you will come crashing down to earth and fall off your bike. The slow and cumbersome nature of this meant I rarely used this feature in game/ Which is a shame as this could have been a lot of fun.
Achievements: With a boost partner, you could get all but one MP achievement done and out the way. The 12 player race achievement is a nightmare to get done and out the way.
The SP achievements however, will require some work as there is a lot for completing races. There are some miscellaneous ones too, but nothing that will give you a hard time, At the time of writing, I have 415/1000g unlocked, and not really had any trouble.
Overall: Some people have been left feeling disappointed with it, as it does feel rushed. But for those who are new to the series, or have not played for a while, you may just enjoy it. I know I did, and I will be heading back in to finish off career mode at some point in the future. Go in with an open mind, and maybe with a friend, and some MP action may just keep thing interesting for you. It's not that bad a game, and I have had some fun. Needs a bit of work, yes it does. But Rainbow and Nordic can hopefully take the feedback and next time they release a game in the series, they will have ironed out the problems and will give us a game to blow our gamer panties off. I would love to see a track editor of some sort implemented, as this could add a breath of fresh air into the title and give it a new lease of life.
Thank you to Nordic Games for providing me with a review copy of the game.
I am awarding MX vs ATV Supercross Encore 3 stars or 6.5/10 if you prefer.
If you could leave me feedback whether a thumbs up or a thumbs down, I would greatly appreciate it. I love reviewing games, and to get better at what I do, I need you, the reader, to get back to me and let me know what works and what doesn't.

If you experience MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore brakes, crashes, MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore won't start, MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore is not installed, in MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore control not working, no sound, errors popping up, in MX vs.
ATV Supercross Encore saves not working – we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.
First, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements:
Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of your video card manufacturer and download the latest drivers. Often, specially optimized drivers are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of the drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.
It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of bugs not found and not fixed.
Do not forget that games often require the latest version of DirectX to be installed, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.
Many problems with launching games occur due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during the installation, try to uninstall the game and run the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often the files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.
It still doesn't hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode with different versions of Windows.
First - install the latest drivers for the video card, this FPS in the game can rise significantly. Also check the computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE).
If, before starting the game, you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.
Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the settings responsible for post-processing. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly increase performance without greatly affecting the quality of the picture.
If MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore often crashes to your desktop, try to start solving the problem by lowering the quality of the graphics. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot work correctly. It is also worth checking for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.
The most common black screen issue is a GPU issue. Check if your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers.
Sometimes a black screen is the result of insufficient CPU performance.
If everything is fine with the hardware, and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT + TAB), and then return to the game window.
First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that the setup program requires the advertised amount of space plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system drive to run correctly. In general, remember the rule - the system drive should always have at least 2 gigabytes of free space for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or refuse to start at all.
Installation problems can also occur due to lack of Internet connection or its unstable operation. Also, do not forget to suspend the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.
By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive.
Often save files are stored in a folder of documents, which is located separately from the game itself.
Sometimes the controls in the game do not work due to the connection of several input devices at the same time. Try disabling the gamepad, or if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If the gamepad does not work for you, then remember that only controllers that are defined as Xbox joysticks officially support games. If your controller is defined differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).
Check if the sound works in other programs. After that, check if the sound is turned off in the settings of the game itself and if the sound playback device is selected there, to which your speakers or headset are connected. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound is muted there.
If you are using an external sound card, check the manufacturer's website for new drivers.
