MX vs ATV Untamed preview Xbox 360

We've gone hands-on this month with the soon-to-be-released MX vs ATV Untamed, the latest in the series of off-road racers. Unlike previous MX games though, this one features not just bikes, but a huge range of four-wheelers too, from buggies to golf carts to monster trucks. We've had a good look at the game and we're impressed with what we've seen - there's plenty in here to get your pulse racing. Find out everything you need to know about MX vs ATV Untamed in our detailed hands-on preview now!

MX vs ATV Untamed preview for Xbox 360
You'd think that, with seven offroading games under its belt, developer Rainbow Studios would be sick of all the dirt, dust, death-defying leaps and show-offish wheelies that the genre offers. Yet Untamed shows no sign of a loss of inspiration, with its arcade-style controls and fast-paced action making it a hugely accessible and frenetic racer - one that's particularly welcome on a console that doesn't already have something like the PS3's Motorstorm.

Rather than just sticking to bikes this time round, Rainbow has expanded the vehicle roster to include dune buggies, monster trucks and even 4x4 golf carts! Aside from having to master such a wide variety of machines, there's a brand new mode called Opencross which should really separate the men from the boys. Taking place over massive, lengthy tracks, they make full use of some vast open-world environments, with bridges, steep hills, rocks and valleys to traverse.

Fortunately, this isn't quite as tricky as it sounds - indeed the longer races are marginally easier than the frenzied MX races, as they give you more time to catch up if you make any mistakes. The aggression shown by the AI racers is all too fierce at times, and you can often find yourself bullied out of the race in the shorter tracks by your opponents' win-at-any-cost mentality. While this might sound potentially frustrating, the easier difficulties make the transition up the ranks a little smoother, and you'll feel more ready to take on the tougher rivals after a bit of practice.
