There are a few hidden Grand Prix tracks in here that offer a fun challenge, but beyond that, the area isn’t really worth exploring. It’s a pretty barren area, with almost nothing worth actually doing. An open world area in which to craft waypoint enduro-style challenges - and at some point after launch do so with friends - the Playground just feels half-baked. Less successful is the Playground area, this time an idyllic fishing village in Norway. This helps create Milestone’s most immersive experience to date, and is far and away the best new addition to the game. Being able to quite literally feel the track as you come around corners has never been more authentic. But the haptic feedback offered by the PS5’s DualSense is a - pardon the pun - game changer. The controls and the actual mechanics are unchanged, offering the same flexibility as in years past, allowing for both arcade-style and more realistic simulation. This becomes a much bigger issue when using the game’s photo mode, as there are a lot of pretty ugly textures you need to navigate around to get truly good pictures.Īs mentioned previously, however, the riding feels the best it ever has. While it’s not the most important thing in the world, it’s pretty deflating to be racing in a picturesque European valley nestled in the mountains only to be able to count individual pixels on the range. Unfortunately, this doesn't extend to the surroundings, where tiled textures and some very basic scenery detract from the immersion. Furthermore, all of the tracks in the Motocross Grand Prix Circuit are present, and are lovingly recreated in intricate detail. Frame hitches and other technical problems are rarer than ever before. This is further aided by the PS5, with the game running much more stably. The gameplay isn’t mind-blowing but it’s better than it's ever been, and unlike in some of the previous iterations in the series, it doesn’t actively detract from the experience. There aren’t a whole lot of options when it comes to motocross games, but MXGP 2020 - The Official Motocross Videogame is still able to provide a solid experience, which as sports fans know, is not always a guarantee. While still a predictably sparse outing, there’s a lot to love. Luckily, Milestone has crafted a pretty solid bedrock upon which to build its racing titles, and this latest entry - the series’ first foray on the PlayStation 5 - represents the franchise’s biggest leap forward to date. The MXGP titles have been slowly inching their way forward through the years, generally only seeing minor changes with each iteration.
