Check out the Compound
Milestone S.r.l. is releasing so many games this year, it’s difficult to keep track of them all. Earlier in 2018 saw the release ofMonster Energy SupercrossandGravel, next month marks the launch ofMotoGP 18, and later this year it’s releasingRide 3. Sandwiched between those last two isMXGP Pro, the next entry in theMXGPfranchise.
I had a chance to try outMXGP Proin San Francisco last week. Coming off ofMonster Energy Supercross, I wasn’t too impressed with the look of the game. The graphics are fine, but the track designs, while authentic, are quite dull. Even when I changed it to a sunny day and selected what I was told was one of the prettier tracks, it was nothing to write home about. But that goes with the sport itself. Motocross tracks aren’t exactly known as eye candy.
I do appreciate the new Compound. This semi-open world area features two tracks, one Supercross and one Motocross, as well as various trails and paths to test your skills on and to get a feel for how the bikes ride. I still had the muscle memory ofMonster Energyin my hands when I picked up the controller for my playthrough, so I did very well once I realized the tracks here are skinnier than their North American counterparts.
MXGP Prowill launch in North America on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on July 10.
