Holding it back
Reviews73% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach35K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
Refunds8 of 342 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock
For context
Value$0.79/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Despite what other reviews say, I have not had any issues with this game in regards to bugs or performance. This is a PS2 classic and is a must play for any Motocross/Supercross fan. Gameplay is just as smooth as I remember and with steam controller support I am able to emulate PS2 controls on a PS5 controller with no issues at all. This port makes me wish we could have the OG MX Unleashed or even some PS1 classics...

The game is great. I never owned a PS2, and probably never will, so being able to play games from that era on my PC is wonderful. The soundtrack bangs and is a reminder of what the 2000's had that any other time afterwards will never have again. The amount of rock, metal and rap in this soundtrack sets the tone for what you're about to dive into and the menu theme will get stuck in your head. Game runs on literally...
