MX vs ATV Untamed
Asphalt and loading screens are for virgins and accountants, says this game
If Untamed’s abundant choice and freedom terrifies you, well, Rainbow has you covered. New to the series, the X-Cross combines the eight diverse series into one long-form championship - a paved road through a game that is otherwise pretty much content to let you do your thing.
MX vs. ATV clearly wants to get the gamer out of tamed, nerdy menus and onto or into the bike, ATV, Monster Truck, Buggy or Golf Kart as fast and for as long as possible. No longer are players subjected to the totally un-extreme loading screen. Instead, Untamed's loading screen is a basic but drive-able area in which you can pull stunts and ram inconsiderately into others (it also serves as the online lobby for multiplayer, which supports up to 12 players).
