From the hand of Milestone, specialists in games related to the automotive world on two and four wheels, the MXGP 2021 arrives. The game with the official license of the Motocross World Championship in its 2021 version is here and it comes straight to make you jump spectacular and test the mud in every corner of the planet. You’re ready?. Keep in mind that this review is from the Xbox Series X version of the game.
The officially licensed game MGXP 2021
Milestone has a long and successful relationship with MXGP. This is the He him Motocross World Championship, regulated by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).
In nearly 20 years of experience, the developer has worked with this championship in as many titles: MXGP 1 to 3, MXGP PRO and MXGP Pro 2019 and 2020. In its 2021 version, the game features more than 40 riders, motorcycles and the official teams of the 2021 MXGP and MX2 season. You can choose from over 100 genuine brands. Sponsors, accessories and all the real competitions of the 2021 championship. In addition, it has three tracks from previous competitions: Ottobiano (Italy), Ernée (France) and León (Mexico) which will delight fans of this sport.
clay 60fps
Milestone is a developer synonymous with good graphics. In this case, they once again honor their tradition with very good graphics complemented by a lot of detail on the circuits. They manage to reproduce the real scenes in an excellent way with a spectacular light treatment. So the sunlight will be reflected more in the areas of puddles and the circuit lighting also varies surprisingly depending on the lights or the race program.
Also, the game is full of small details that help its realism. The flapping of clothes in the wind when you jump very high or the fact that the camera receives projections of mud during the race. Realistically, the logical thing was that the character was the one who had gotten muddy. But, rightly so, since Milestone they choose not to do this to avoid the pilots being confused with the scene where they were covered in mud.
In this sense, we see how the camera claims to be a kind of helmet, as rain can also make its appearance splashing the screen and making it difficult to see the terrain.
All this is seasoned with a few 60 fps stable on Xbox Series X. which will make the driving experience a real pleasure.
MXGP 2021 a motocross simulator
Normally, we could associate this sport with an arcade game with spectacular jumps and kicks at the rivals. But the first thing we need to clarify is that MXGP 2021 is a motocross simulator. By that we mean it’s not about stepping on the accelerator and jumping. Our driving must watch the change of gears (calm, it can be automated), take care to avoid falls and excursions off the track, brake and take care of jumps... A fall or an exit from the track can make us lose precious seconds which will also allow our competitors to overtake us. And if our riding is particularly aggressive and we don’t have high control of the bike, it’s easy to get on the ground.
The concept of the simulator also extends to mechanics and we can make changes to our motorcycle in the intensity and speed of braking or shifting,
Variety of game modes
We will first have the Classic Trajectory mode in which we will choose a sponsor and we will travel the world ready to score points to win the championship. But, in addition to that, we will have the classic Time Trial, Grand Prix and Championship modes.
To these they join the circuit editor. Choose the type of terrain and design your circuit and its obstacles, curves … by customizing all aspects to design your own circuit. These can be shared online and downloaded from tours created by other players.
The Modo play area This will allow us to explore new landscapes and photograph ourselves as pilots. You can create your own route by placing several control points following an order in the mode Waypoint: run and compete online with your friends. Online competitions allow you to create your own events and interact with other players in Race Director mode. Unfortunately we could not test the component online because the servers are not yet active, but you, from today, will be able to play without problems.
Realistic sound
EThe noise of the engines and its intensity changing according to the terrain, are absolutely realistic. You will think that you are yourself on the bike and help the concept of simulation of the game. One more than interesting option is the power to regulate all aspects of the sound. The classic “wasp” sound of these motorcycles may not be to everyone’s liking, so we can specifically lower the sound of this one, prioritizing the environment or the music. A very interesting and well thought out option from Milestone.
From the music there is no particularly relevant walk and only say that they accompany the game well with a very frenetic and electronic tone.
