MX vs ATV Untamed falls short
This is another game by RainBow Studios, who mastered the art of MX games with realistic physics. The graphics in this game are horrible, even on the PS3. On some tracks, when all the riders are grouped together, the game actually chokes and looks sluggish and choppy. My biggest complain about this game is it's arcade - type style. It feels like you are riding / racing on the moon, with no gravity. Long gone are the realistic feelings of launching a 200lb motorcycle off a jump. Now we have a spongy feeling dirt bike which does not behave like the bikes in previous games, like MX Unleashed.

The game is fun, but at this point in time, they seem to have added a lot of fluff like trucks, cars, etc, and seem to drop the ball for those of us who want a competitive Motorcycle / ATV Simulation game.

fun, but the graphics are poor
This is my 8 year old son's favorite game. We enjoy racing against each other. Good variation in tracks and courses to play on. The soundtrack isn't bad. However, the graphics are very poor, especially considering this is on a PlayStation 3. The bystanders and background enviroments are extremely grainy and pixelated. Being a new game on the PS3, I had much higher expectations.

Doesn't work with the Logitech Driving Force GT Wheel!!!
The foot pedals on my racing wheel are completely useless because they don't let you adjust the controls in a more free form manner. All I want is the ability to essentially clone GT5's button assignments, and it simply will not let you do it. Lack of configurability kills this game for me, because out of the box it won't let me drive with my wheel (and pedals).

Unfortunately, I can't return it now. :( Hopefully they'll add an update for this game that will fix the retarded controller options, but until I can play the game with the buttons I want... 1 star.
