You can then throw in flips and spins if you feel brave enough. The trick system is simple with the right shoulder button acting as a modifier whilst the right stick selects your trick. Stunt events allow you to let off some steam. Larger outdoor venues offer the chance to put the hammer down. Different tracks offer their own challenges with tight and twisty arena venues providing close-quarters racing. Being battered by a field of UTVs whilst you’re on a bike can add a surprising amount of challenge. When all vehicle types are hitting the track, it makes for an enjoyable spectactle. Races either confine you to a single vehicle type or place you in MX, ATV and UTV menageries. It’s a fun scramble and these events are usually only a couple of minutes long. Waypoint races encourage your ability to thrash across the wide-open country and reach checkpoints before your opponents. Not that there isn’t variation in the racing you do. In a genre where career modes are the norm, going back to this type of progression feels almost alien.

You can select typical series events, single events, time trials and freerides. Sadly, this overworld is merely for tutorials and collectibles. It gave me the early impression this might be an open-world racer or at least a hub where you select your events. When you begin MX v ATV: All Out, you’re given a small hub that presents tutorials to you. I do miss the options to alter driving aids but this really isn’t that type of game. Setups can be tweaked but not to an intricate degree and there’s a handful of difficulty options to select. That said, they’re still interesting to ride with their own quirks. The selection is a little slender with bikes seeing the most attention. It’s nothing not seen in other off-road racers but the combination of feuding vehicle types still maintains a compelling hook. It’s forgiving but you are encouraged to lean into turns, pre-load jumps and keep your wheels close to the ground to maximise your time on the track. MX vs ATV: All Out does seem to tick the usual boxes for handling and mechanics. In motion, the stuttering is a constant irritation. At a standstill, the world looks quite stunning. Some textures are simplified and track deformation looks cosmetic, rather than organic but the vehicles are rendered in great detail.

It really overshadows a visual treatment that handles lighting really well and manages to show off a varied, colourful landscape without seeing too much of the tell-tale pop-in of track objects. I’m usually pretty forgiving when it comes to such things but the way this game fails to maintain steady in motion proves really distracting and, in times of tense racing, problematic. I should note I played this on a base console and performance felt erratic. Unreal Engine 4 is used to display some sharp visuals that, whilst impressive, struggle to maintain a steady framerate on the Playstation 4. On a technical level, signs of rustiness show. Having not seen an original entrant to the series for seven years, this iteration marks their first excursion on to current consoles. Rainbow have been recalled to develop a series they know all too well and a budget price tag is attached to make the proposition as painless as possible. Revisiting dormant series’ can be daunting and they’re some cautious steps taken with the release of MX vs ATV All Out. With Nordic’s slow acquisition of the THQ branding and properties, they’re looking to gain some hearts and minds.
