Mad Skills Motocross 2 12+

The game is awesome, I’ve been playing it for years, reached division 1, and am level 141, but the lag is abhorrent. There is nothing worse than beating someone by 20-30 meters and then lagging only to completely screw up your run. The multiplayer jam tracks are also becoming less fun due to over complicated rhythms; there is always one fun track and one track that makes me question whether or not it’s worth staying in my division so that I don’t have to put hundreds of attempts on it. Unlike other complaints, I think the bike balance is fine, if you learn the game then racing others is quite fun (aside from the lag) and the versus tracks are normally very well done, sometimes more so than the multiplayer jams.

I’ll be the one to admit, any MX game/ irl riding experience will help some, but the game isn’t that hard. I had 10 World Records within a matter of 1 month playing this game. If you lose to Ace or Bruiser (the NPC Bot) you are not focusing on what makes you fast. Simply leaning back or learning a technique called scrubbing makes every map a joke to win on. If there are issues with your speed, simply watching top times is a massive help. With the ghost feature on the replay, you can literally copy their exact movements. The only problem I had with this game was that you can purchase some of the % exclusive gear such as, “reach top 25% in jam”. Great time waster and has smooth controls. Be patient and you get a feel for them soon enough. My friend picked it up and had a state best within a two day span and thoroughly enjoyed dumping an hour or so in per day. The career pleases the casual and there is a massive competitive scene here too. Great game.

Definitely an awesome game to kill time with and what not, but there was a recent massive issue I had with the game.
Recently I was doing the monthly challenges and I had the pro pass that I would buy every so often to get the full rewards. As I made my purchase this month however, I noticed two massive problems. One was that it didn’t hold the purchase and instead kept asking me to buy the pro pass. I finally after the second attempt said screw it and didn’t buy it again. The second issue came the next day when I went to play for day two and day one never recorded my previous attempts which I won at. You could imagine my frustration as it wasn’t easy to do and to just see it gone like I didn’t even try. Won’t do that again until I know for sure the mistake is fixed. Just gutted. Other than that, as I said for killing time and having fun with friends, it is a cool game.
