Live the adrenaline and the excitement of the 2017 Monster Energy Supercross Championship with MONSTER ENERGY SUPERCROSS - THE OFFICIAL VIDEOGAME!
Players praise the precise and responsive bike handling, which allows for techniques like scrubbing and whipping to manage the bike in the air. The ground physics, including cornering and power sliding, feel grounded and reactive. However, some players find the in-air physics a bit stiff, with the bike sometimes feeling automated during jumps and landings. The scrubbing and whipping mechanics, while functional, do not offer the full range of control and expression that some players desire.
The detailed and visually impressive supercross tracks accurately capture the look and feel of real-world venues. While the track layouts provide an authentic racing experience, some players note a lack of alternative lines and rhythms sections, resulting in a somewhat streamlined design. The track editor feature stands out, allowing players to create and share their own custom supercross tracks, which adds near-endless possibilities for gameplay variety and replayability.
Player feedback on the AI opponents is mixed. On lower difficulty settings, the AI is too easy to overtake and leave behind. On the highest "Realistic" difficulty, the AI is more challenging but can exhibit unrealistic behaviors, such as recovering instantly from crashes. Some players feel the AI could be improved to provide a more engaging and competitive racing experience, especially on the higher difficulty levels.
