![]() In some instances, triggering the “teleport restart” after flying head-first into a barrier will actually save a few seconds compared to slamming on the brakes, turning your wheels around and getting your bike safely into gear. Both actions will cause the game to immediately teleport the offending player back onto the track, without losing much time or forward momentum. MXGP's lack of difficulty is also reflected in how lightly it punishes players for crashing their bike or illegally cutting through corners. Driving alongside computer-controlled riders often triggers a bizarre tendency where they will hit their brakes and slow down so that your bike can safely pass by.ĭespite setting the AI's difficulty to “realistic” and adjusting the bike physics to “pro” level, it's common to beat the entire field by five or more seconds, even while wiping out several times during the default three-lap contests. ![]() ![]() After the initial holeshot, AI bikers settle into a fixed order, making few passing attempts. Instead, each computer motorist seems stuck to a predetermined racing line, afraid to touch the 15 other bikes around him. It doesn't help that MXGP's AI shows no aggressiveness in protecting its pack position or fighting for control of the prime riding paths. Since MXGP's 14 licensed courses are all recreated on a 1:1 scale to their real-world dimensions, this reduced field of racers fails to generate the same claustrophobic, chaotic feel as a live motocross event. Online race tracks are even less crowded, allowing a maximum of 12 players into the starting grid. Whereas real motocross events often include up to 40 participants, all offline races in MXGP feature just 16 competitors. This low-velocity, highly physical style of racing depends on pack maneuvering, driver battles and artful jumps to excite its audience. True to the sport of motocross, MXGP's dirt bikes travel around 30 to 40 miles per hour during most races, with frequent bumps, turns and jumps interrupting any opportunity to break residential speed limits.
