There is a combo system in MTX: Mototrax, but it has nothing to do with manuals or wheelies to connect jumps together like the Tony Hawk Pro Skater titles. Here, completing a succession of aerial tricks will increase the score multiplier. Crash the bike and the multiplier goes back to x1. Repeat tricks and the multiplier starts to go down, along with the value of that particular trick. The fancier the trick, the longer it will take to execute and the more points it will give.
The shorter tricks give less points but more of them can be strung together on a single jump. This way, it's best to get a couple big jumps with a few tricks in each to ramp up the multiplier and then bust out with the big point tricks for a huge score. Just don't get too cocky or you'll end up with a face full of dirt and the 1x multiplier.
One of the biggest tricks in the game is the backflip and variations upon it. While the instructions told me to push forward and then pull back right before launching off of a ramp, this never worked for me. Instead, right after getting in the air a quick up-down tap and a trick button is what was required. Similarly, the "lander" modifier is explained as requiring a trick button to be hit just before landing, but instead it needs to be done right after the trick.
After figuring out these tricks on my own, they were easy to pull off, but it left me wondering why they would be explained otherwise. As for the different aspects of the gameplay there are two different sections that only intersect by contributing bikes and tricks to each other: the races and the freestyle modes which I'll get back to a little later.
The races are fairly straightforward with supercross arena competitions and motocross outdoor competitions tracks. There are eight tracks and four series' for both supercross and motocross, making 16 tracks and eight series in all.
Moving up in the races and getting some first-place finishes rewards you with offers from potential sponsors and new teams. Some sponsors will want you to wear their clothes, while other will upgrade your current bike. Even better is the offer from a new team to race with that will offer you an upgrade to a better bike entirely.
The tracks themselves are pretty straightforward for the supercross tracks that start off with plenty of straightaways and escalate into complicated messes that look like a wet noodle dropped on the ground when seen from above.
They provide plenty of work and twists and turns to hone one's skill on for plenty of technical action, but it's the motocross tracks that are where the most fun are. The motocross tracks are all about the big jumps that require plenty of speed, rhythm, and skill with the preload. There are twists and turns here, but it's timing of the jumps that will launch racers off into the distance towards the finish line.
With dramatic launches and opportunities to fly past a competitor, there are plenty of chances to. There are two parts to the freestyle experience: the Free Ride tracks and the Freestyle competition tracks. Each section contains four tracks. The Free Ride tracks are open areas such as a bayou or a quarry, that have challenges within them that are unlocked by finding different people in the map and talking to them, like in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games. These challenges can be races through the map, a trick challenge, or a challenge unique to an area, like jumping from boat to boat or riding through pipes.
All of these challenges will award points that go towards unlocking the next map, but it's the trick challenges that introduce new tricks into your library that can then be used in freestyle competitions or the races for fun.
Other tricks can be unlocked by finding specific ramps that will make a new trick flash on the screen. The most interesting element of this robust racer is the trick system which uses a blend of well-timed button mashing and joystick movements to give you access to seemingly endless array of cool air tricks. The single player game is broken into trick competitions on freestyle maps and races in both indoor supercross tracks and outdoor motocross ones.
Many of the freestyle maps require you to land specific tricks in a set time, or jump through targets in order. The trick to tricking is getting good air, something accomplished by mastering the art of compressing your suspension and letting up at the right time. Once you're airborne you can string together tricks to land extra points and accomplish those tasks in record time.
The races on the moto and supercross tracks are all about powering through the straight-aways and taking the sharp turns without getting flung head-over-heels from your bike. You can pop off a few tricks mid-race, but don't mess up or you can kiss the victory goodbye.
The single player game rewards short times and high placings with cash, new tricks and endorsement deals. The multiplayer offerings include offline, split screen races and trick competitions and a nice selection of online games which include freestyle competitions, standard races and a cool king of the hill mode.
Gameplay on Live was lag free, easy to start and fairly rewarding. The graphics are fairly impressive, though nothing really to write home about and the sound offers up a nice array of speed metal songs and grinding motorcycle noises.
If you're a fan of racing or motocross, MTX Mototrax is a must and if you're not a fan this game just might make you one. As motocross continues to grow in popularity, more publishers are starting to take notice. Unfortunately, few publishers have taken it seriously, creating a number of forgettable titles that hardly captured the essence of the sport.
The good news is MTX Mototrax does manage to put together a solid all around experience including motocross, supercross, and free style elements.
Although it does have a few areas that could have been better, it also has a few areas that help it stand out. As far as gameplay elements go, MTX Mototrax gives a complete package. Motocross, supercross, and free style are all represented in the career, free ride, and multiplayer online modes. The online feature is a nice bonus and functions as expected.
