positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GAME USE TO WORK WITH CONTROLLER, NOW CONTROLLER NOT SUPPORTED??? ITS A CONSOLE BUILD GAME, HOW IS A CONTROLLER NOT SUPPORTED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!???!!?!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'll cut straight to the point. I like this game, a lot, but you need to pull it from the store and polish it, then publish it again. It's a broken product in it's current state and having people buy this game only to learn they can't even play it is frustrating, and it is also leaving you guys at THQ with a bad reputation. I'll now inform you of the bugs everyone in the community is complaining about so you can fix them and make this a great game again (since only the PC version seems to have…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game's soundtrack is so stacked
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →memories of this on psp and playing it so much as a 7 to 9 year old ABSOLUTELY GOATED and whoever the guy or group it was that was in charge of the soundtrack y'all are goats you indoctrinated so many kids to absolutely banger songs and a genre of rock/hard rock that we will never forget and that 2000's era of gold we all miss now, thank you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you're seeing this game for the first time ,this game is not for you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Resolution limited to 1280x1024, fps locked at 30. No controller support. You're better off emulating the PS2 version.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GAME DOES NOT WORK, DO NOT BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hope Heaven Has this Good of a Soundtrack
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game and REFLEX for about 3.5 dollars, on other platforms (PS2 and the old pc dvd release) i must have spent 500 hours playing. These two games are in my humble opinion, the best motocross games ever made. Way better than the disastrous monster energy games and MXGP, and way more fun to play, even if they feel more arcadey. By the way, there is now a widescreen FullHD 60FPS patch (check the community) and it runs beautifully on Linux (steam deck too)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sure the PC port isn't as good as the PS2 one, but this game was one of my personal favorites growing up. The various vehicles you can drive on different maps made this game feel endless back in the day. But the best part of it all, The soundtrack. Plain and simple, hands down one of the best ever video game soundtracks. If you get this on PC, Sure but I would recommend the PS2 instead but overall it still get's a positive from me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thank you THQ for making my childhood. I picked this up for $1.99 and unlocked memories I didn't think I'd ever see again. I played this game when I was 6!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →deserving of a remaster, also please remaster Mx vs Atv Untamed
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nostalgia but if u want start the race its crashed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why was the console version of this so much better? The pc version is limited to only 3 ai racers at a time. On PS2 it was like 16 or something. Dissapointed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's nothing to jerk off to in this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HAPPY BIRTHDAY MX VS ATV UNLEASHED I love this game and played it a ton while growing up. (P L E A S E N O T E:) if your game crashes a lot while starting a race, or launching you need to turn your number of sun glares down to zero, because it isnt optimized for modern gpus and cpus, theres a video guide from oldgamemodding9040 that shows you step by step how to fix this thank me later)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent game, back in the day when it actually worked properly on my PS2. Excited to play again and enjoying it, I find what seems to be a known bug where the save profile is damaged for no good reason. Effectively making me start my progress over every time I reload the game. Any fix for this issue would be appreciated!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute slammer of a ps2 game i wish the pc version had controller support
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like mid 00s butt rock and nu-metal? Do you like surprisingly detailed ragdoll physics? Do you like to customize your profile and character without word filters? Do you like good old fashioned arcade-style motorcross and ATV racing? Do you like creating custom courses? Everyone has their personal favorite EA motorcross game, this one is mine. It's fun and that's all that matters.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a childhood game for me, I used to rent it on PS2 back in the day. I saw it on Steam, figured it'd be easy to run on Windows 10. It did not, no matter what compatibility settings I used. Recently started running Ubuntu 22.04 on the same computer with Proton set up, no hardware changes. Runs fine. The game is fine, it's old as you can see but it's good for dumb fun. There's plenty of vehicles to choose from, it should keep you occupied when you need to kill some time. However, the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7 year old me is so stoked its not even funny. crazy how well it plays, even if u cant use controller still hitting crzy tricks on keyboard lol.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better play it on emulator, crash starting race. + doesnt support controller....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nostalgia :) Also to play this game on Windows 11 you will need to download the patched tracks. Theres a steam guide on how to do it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just emulate it, this version has zero controller support and has some of the worst controls ive ever seen
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Soundtrack ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hits bubba
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controller play isn't supported very well. You can configure it in the settings but even then it doesn't work well.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great motorbike game from my childhood. I used to always play this game on the PS2 along with Star Wars Battlefront and Burnout 3. The fact not only you can drive motorbikes, quads, buggies or monster trucks you can literally fly a plane or helicopter even a wacky golf cart! A lot of variety in this game when it comes to events and tracks. The maps other than supercross tracks are pretty creative environments like the Temple of Apophis one + there are some maps with really amazing scenery…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →neat. old. gets boring after 30 mins. nostalgia fix
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An amazing game that I love speedrunning. So much nostalgia and the physics hold up beautifully!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best game on ps2 besides crazy taxi and nasacar 2002
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the game ready to play messed with settings i click on start race it crashes everytime i press start race 2 bucks wasted
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first thing that you have to accept is the game running 30 FPS and 4:3 screen. Except that, this game is fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fantastic throwback to childhood memories, both in PS2 and in PSP games! An amazing, defining entry in the MX vs. ATV series, and a must have for any true fan of this genre!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →video game music from older games is so heckin good <3 ty NFS High Stakes, ATV Offroad Fury 2, MX vs. ATV Unleashed, Gran Turismo, Kingdom Hearts, and other games for fond memories of simpler times

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this on the PS2 back in the day as a kid, I'm glad that am able to relive it on steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No controller support and the keyboard controls are just unlogical. Sad, it does have some cool ideas and a great soundtrack
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best mx game of all times, played a lot as a kid
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wanted the nostalgia of playing this a a kid, but the game doesn't even launch.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controllers are partially supported if you map the joy stick and gas + brake. I only play this with controller. Feels like MX unleashed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I used to play this on the PS2 as a kid with my brother and uncle back in the early 2010s. Good times. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →feels like im 5 again playing ps2 one of the best soundtracks ever. has native controller support but need to use wired xbox controller. 0 complaints best mx game ever made
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Runs at 30 fps but is still a joy to play. The newer games just don't get it. They are too busy being realistic and stuff.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game had it on Xbox 360 and now I have it on steam and its great to play. Not sure why people are saying it don't work with controllers because it works perfectly fine with my xbox 360 controller as it did on the 360 itself.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would not recommend the PC / Steam version (at least when running on Windows 10). Every time I launched the game, it would not launch again until I completely uninstalled and deleted any save / config files. Searching for solutions online did not reliably solve the problem. Split screen also isn't available unlike the console versions. The PC version does come with a neat track creator tool unlike the console versions. Shame the game itself doesn't work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i did not let me play this game :<
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it will work until you try to race or actually play the game

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't start the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really disappointing. I bought MX vs. ATV Unleashed expecting a nice hit of nostalgia, but it wasn’t even close to what I remembered. The game feels extremely dated and clunky, and I couldn’t even get my controller to work properly to navigate the menus. I spent more time fighting with the controls than actually playing the game. Unfortunately, the nostalgia I was hoping for just wasn’t there. Wouldn’t recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Time to head into PS2 land as we play a childhood classic for the start of Speed Week. And we are starting things off with MX vs ATV Unleashed. Start those engines! #pngtuber #vtuber #envtuber #malevtuber #furryvtuber twitch.tv/crashzone194

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MX vs. ATV Unleashed, developed by Rainbow Studios and published by THQ Nordic, stands as one of the defining off-road racing experiences of its era—a game that successfully captured the chaotic energy of motocross and the thrill of unrestrained off-road freedom. Originally released in the mid-2000s and now reintroduced on Steam, it remains a nostalgic reminder of a time when racing games were unafraid to combine rugged realism with arcade flair. The game’s ambition is immediately apparent: it…
