You’re also awarded XP for where you end up, and there are bonuses for not using the rewind function, or getting the Holeshot – being the first rider out of the blocks to get around the first corner. Finishing positions award points and those points go towards the championship total. Blasting out of the starting gate and navigating the sometimes tortuous tracks for a prescribed period is the first stage of the race, then when that’s up, the first time the leader crosses the finish line triggers a 2 lap dash to the end. Skip quali and it’s the one that no one wants for you. No matter how deep you’ve gone into the weekend (full length replica or short sprints) the race elements are the same – points are awarded in each of two races across the course, with qualifying setting what position you’re in for choosing your starting slot. Just remember to load it every single time, because despite the Grand Prix weekend consisting of several sessions, it will default between each one. It’s surprising how much this changes the feel of racing around the dirt tracks and whether the bike will absorb the bumps or chuck the rider off, and getting a basic setup to quickly apply as a starting point for each circuit is a good move. Then there’s the bike setup menu where it’s worth spending a bit of time reading what each setting does and changing the sliders for how you want the ride to respond. Options are there for physics simulation, gearing, rider weight shifting and a few other bits that let you tune the experience to your competency level. Given the tutorial is a handful of pop-ups whilst you’re in the first championship race in the UK, it’s probably not a bad thing that it’s easing players in gently.Īfter dismal failure and coming in 20 seconds behind the slowest rider in your first race, it might be tempting to sack it all off (MXGP 2020 at this point will finally let you head to the main menu), but this is where it pays to stick with it and have a look around the settings pre-race and see if there’s anything that can help make you quicker.

Being restricted to the lower league to begin with means possibly some frustration as you’ve to earn your place on the grown up bikes, but for newcomers to the game it’s a heavy handed nudge into making you learn how the basics work. Have I come to take part in the MXGP championship or what? I mean, it is in the title. It also might feel like it’s throwing you in at the deep end too by only offering up the ability to dive into an MX2 race after picking a bike and team, then making you figure out how things work just as the gate drops. You know there’s something there, but until you get it into gear it’s not worth spending a lot of time with. It’s like it’s been stripped back to be functional only, much like the machines it’s replicating.

The first thing that might strike you with MXGP 2020 is that it’s a bit barebones menu-wise – there’s little fanfare.

Is it a series we wished we’d played sooner?

Being the officially licensed title of the European based championship, and coming from a developer renowned for their two-wheeled exploits like Ride 4, you’d think this would be a shoe in for one of the team to have at least played, so how has the dirt and noise of this frantic sport slipped by us? Now we’ve got our hands on the latest version in MXGP 2020 – The Official Motocross Videogame, that landed on the Xbox One, PC, and PS4 at the end of last year, and is now coming to the Series X and PS5. We’ve covered a few motocross games here on Codec Moments, mostly the Monster Energy Supercross series, and for some reason the MXGP games from Milestone have managed to pass us by.
