MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship

SCORE: 71

When I was first told about MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship I immediately envisioned Pure. I thought we might have another Pure on our hands. I was hopeful at the very least. MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship is a dirty game, but it is not another Pure.

MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship can be very touchy about going off the track. There is no warning, and you are not given an opportunity to get back on. Instead this home console motorcycle racing game resets you back on the track. It is easy to have this happen over and over again at the beginning.

There is a monster focus on the tracks, bikes, and racers. Can someone explain to me why the scantily dressed woman was out there? She was not needed, and seemed to be an after thought to get a higher age rating. If what happens in MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship happened in the real world - lets just say people would die. Or at least on some of my races.

I see the ESRB mentioned lyrics as one of the problems in MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship. I wish I could verify that. I could not tell what the singers were yelling. They seemed unhappy most of the time, to the point of anger possibly. The musicians are so loud and aggressive I had to turn off the sound. It was giving me a headache.

The menu screens are constantly bouncing around in MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship. That may have also contributed to my brain pain. They also have a distinctive gritty look and feel to them. One of the starter racers in MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship had '666' as his number. That was pretty freaky to see that.

MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship includes numerous racers, events, and tracks. There are a couple of different modes the older members of the family may take interest in. There are multiplayer modes for those that like to play across a network. Leaderboards are also a part of this home console game.

Learning the tracks and how to race them is one of the key aspects to MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship. I would come in ninth or higher on one race, and then first or second the next time. The key was paying attention to where the hairpin turns were and finding good places to pass.

There are two issues I have with MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship. The first is scrubbing. This is an annoying little feature in this game that failed more often than it succeeded. I absolutely can not stand scrubbing. The second is having to grind to unlock levels and characters. There is too much grinding required in MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship. Plus we can race some events and get nothing - like a Head to Head challenge if we do not win it.
