❤ Realistic Riding Physics

The game utilizes a dual-stick control scheme where the left stick controls the bike's steering and the right stick controls the rider's body positioning. This allows players to precisely and nuancedly control the bike's balance and handling, which is critical for navigating the challenging off-road tracks. The physics model the weight transfer, suspension articulation, and traction of a real motocross bike, requiring players to carefully manage throttle, braking, and body positioning to maintain control through turns, jumps, and rough terrain. Players will feel the bikes' appropriate heft and responsiveness, with subtle differences in handling between the various engine displacements and manufacturers.

❤ Faithful Track Recreation

The developers have meticulously scanned and modeled the undulating terrain, jumps, and obstacles of the actual tracks used in the real-world MXGP World Championship. These tracks also feature realistic deformation, with ruts and bumps dynamically forming over the course of a race to challenge the player's line choice and bike setup. This attention to detail allows players to feel transported to the iconic motocross venues, requiring a combination of track knowledge, throttle control, and bike setup adjustments to find the optimal racing lines.

❤ Challenging AI Opponents

The AI-controlled riders exhibit intelligent, realistic behaviors, making mistakes, jockeying for position, and attempting to block or pass the player. The AI difficulty can be adjusted to accommodate players of varying skill levels, with the higher settings providing an intense, race-long battle against seasoned virtual competitors. The AI's ability to capitalize on the player's mistakes and exploit weaknesses in their riding adds to the game's sense of authenticity, as beating the AI on the hardest difficulty settings requires mastery of the physics and track knowledge.
