MXGP 2020 also makes the most out of last-generation hardware, albeit with a few caveats. The inclusion of cooperative play on The Playgrounds is a boost for that mode, but I still feel more online options need to be included for the racing. ![]() The game includes dedicated multiplayer servers and I never encountered an issue with connecting to a match in a lobby nor any lag or disconnects during a race. You can tell the best from the best as they’ll dominate the race, but if the AI becomes mundane, there’s a solid community here to race with. Multiplayer racing online is fun and there’s currently an avid community. I was able even to land jumps while positioning the bike a certain way and not immediately dumping it. I never had to worry about something dumb happening based on the racing model. The handling is superbly improved and while there are still issues like consistently getting beat out of the holeshot or AI drivers going down and others not reacting to it, the overall racing experience is the best the series has seen. That’s why this game will come off as the best version for its hardcore community. The riders don’t necessarily have the same issues you will when racing, and again it comes down to learning each individual jump on each individual track to have success. The AI still seems to be inconsistent even on its lowest difficulty. There are also next to no obstacles on the side of the track and if you go off of the track, the game is quick to put you back into action. No longer am I diving into corners and worrying about the bike coming out the wrong way. The collisions feel better thanks to the increase of the rumble feedback on the controller. The tension that comes from racing side-by-side with someone has officially instilled confidence while racing. Being able to shift the riders weight even on sharp corners is much more manageable. The controls are more responsive than they’ve ever been. While the modes aren’t new and they have been updated, what makes MXGP 2020 the best in the series is what matters the most: the racing. Having this ability in the game still offers a good bit of replayability if the nineteen tracks and The Playground don’t cut it. If creating the tracks aren’t your thing, the option to download tracks is still there. The height maps allow for different terrains to be selected and will add more variety to each course. The process isn’t overly complicated but isn’t completely simple. MXGP 2020 now offers a choice of four different height maps that will offer more realism when creating tracks. The Track Editor also returns as Milestone has opened a new chapter. The game also forces you to create the player upon initial boot. ![]() There’s no engagement in between races so it’s basically just a Championship Mode with a created player. Unfortunately, the Career Mode is short-sighted especially when compared to the MotoGP series. Bikes can be customized with official parts and can also be repainted, but the liveries can be limited based on the sponsor that’s chosen. Players can choose different sponsors that will allow them to net more money for winning races. Milestone has included a Career Mode that allows players to create a rider and race as a rookie or to join an established team. ![]() This also includes varying weather for the courses that will change the terrain. While the season is over, players will still have access to all 68 riders of both the MXGP and MX2 Championships along with 19 different circuits. MXGP 2020 encompasses everything about the 2020 MXGP season. Players can also race with their friends on these Waypoints or just free roam around the area and get their bearings down. Players can create and share routes for the Waypoint Mode, which is essentially a designer of sorts. The area is heavily wooded with high terrain and a back drop of rivers and mountains. The best backdrop looks to be added to the series this year with the Norwegian fjords. The Playground allows players to ride around in an open terrain with friends. ![]() There’s no doubt that Milestone has thought outside the box with the MXGP series in recent years. Milestone also looks to have turned the corner on this franchise, as well, as it’s the best in the series despite still having faults. The league is much like Supercross in America, but MXGP mainly stays with traditional outdoor circuits in Europe. MXGP 2020 is the latest in the series that’s based on the European FIA Off-road motorcycle league. The MotoGP video game series from Milestone recently turned a corner in becoming a viable racing title and properly representing the sport. Two of the senior titles come in the way of the MotoGP series and MXGP series. Milestone has managed to secure quite a bit of major licensed motorcycle racing leagues for a plethora of titles.
