If you’ve ever owned a dirt bike, there is a good chance you’ve been tempted to race it against much bigger vehicles, but have been too afraid of getting seriously injured in the process.

Well, now you can get your chance to wipe out without actually threatening your life, as Rainbow Studios unleashes MX vs. ATV: Untamed. This off-road racing game lets you race vehicles ranging from motocross bikes to all-terrain vehicles in different environments around the world. The variety of match-ups alone in MX vs. ATV can be extremely entertaining as players have the choice of picking an assortment of engine sizes for different two- and four-wheel vehicles.

You don’t even have to pick a dirt bike or ATV for some races; a juiced-up golf cart or classic monster truck are also available choices. MX vs. ATV also includes a diverse set of terrains, allowing gamers to compete on tracks anywhere from a nice country meadow to a barren desert.

MX vs. ATV offers many different racing series to accommodate the different types of gamers who might play. There are the classic racing series such as Opencross and Supercross for players who are familiar with typical off-road settings, and there are also series that focus less on the racing and more on surviving the tracks and doing stunts, such as Enduromode or freestyle.

There are even a few online exclusive modes that don’t have much to do with racing at all, but are just addicting and fun to play. You may pick up the game to check out some cool bikes and end up playing Snake mode the whole time as you just go around in circles trying to box in your opponent.

In any case, MX vs. ATV is one of those games that you can just jump into without thinking much. It’s fun to race around in all the toys that the game offers, and you’ll soon find your own vehicle preference. Whether it’s the maneuverable little bikes or the powerful giant four-wheelers, you’ll definitely find some way to tumble around in the dirt.
