The career length of ordinary MX or ATV professionals must be really short. Considering the punishment their bodies must take, what with the whole “getting run over by large vehicles while being driven into the mud” thing, it’s hard to imagine many of them surviving for long. That’s our biggest takeaway from MX vs ATV Alive, simply because we spent loads of time having motorcycle tracks permanently imprinted on our backsides...
If the PS3's Motorstorm series made the term “real-time terrain deformation” sexy, then MX vs ATV Reflex is bringing sexy back. Rainbow Studios, a developer that's been churning out mud-kickin' motocross titles since the PS1 era, has redefined the technology in their latest off-road racer, turning it into a visual and game-changing treat for fans of the genre.

Of the three main MySims games, this is easily the most story-orientated. Although you can potter about the levels as you please, providing you’ve unlocked them, the story itself is fairly linear.
Poor old King Roland is a monarch with a problem – not that you could tell from his fluffy smiling face.
