Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Video Game Review 3

Presentation

The presentation in these Supercross games has always been something of a mixed bag. There is incredible attention to detail in some cases. For example, the rushing air causes the character’s clothing to sway and flutter, which really draws you into the fast-paced action.

But then, other areas leave a lot to be desired. The character models are still as horrible as memories. The inclusion of female drivers also did not lead to extra quality. In fact, it appears that very little has been done to make the riders look better.

Fortunately, there are at least some improvements. The new animations give the models a wider range of motion. Veterans will notice that riders have smoother movements and more variety in how they interact with different forces. Particle effects and lighting are excellent, although that’s something the series has always been right.

Meanwhile, players can expect to be bombarded with a horde of explosions, engines running, and cheers from the crowd. The sound effects are great but also virtually indistinguishable from the previous ones.

Final verdict

There is nothing particularly wrong with Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3. Indeed, he is a perfectly satisfying driver. The main problem is that he doesn’t do enough to improve on his predecessors. Both the 2018 and 2019 editions of the game are equally useful.

Justifying the purchase of this new edition if you already own those games is difficult. After all, there has been no real advancement or formula changes. For those who have never played a Supercross game before, this is a perfect place to start. However, anyone who owns an older version may be better served by losing this installment.
