Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame 4

Monster Energy Supercross 4 has no time for beginners, but it's also an inessential upgrade for fans of Supercross 3.

Not the finest physics simulation ever, but good enough to convey a uniquely challenging discipline-plus, all the customisation items in the world.

Milestone delivers on its slate of upgrades introduced in Monster Energy Supercross 4, but the racing remains frustrating and unapproachable for new players.

Have you ever wanted to ride on motocross courses set inside of stadiums on some of the fastest bikes in the world? Well, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 4 might be for you.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 4 is undoubtedly an interesting racing title, which, however, in its focus and processing will fit rather die-hard fans of the genre, and thus racing games. The game's well-designed career mode is fun to play, and the constant upgrading and training of your driver works well. We also like the difficult gameplay, which as a player you have to adapt to, and in which any possibility of different driving assistants is eliminated. An equally good aspect is the detailed customisation of the rider, which you can customise to your liking and even use officially licensed clothing to do so. What hurts the game, on the other hand, is the poor AI, mediocre graphics and the unbalanced difficulty of your opponents.

SuperCross 4 takes the prospect of a sport with a fervent fan-base and doubles down on making the gameplay a divisive introduction to the franchise for newcomers. It isn’t quite inside the distinctions of a simulator, but it is the closest this franchise has come yet to that notion. Your mileage may vary in this regard, but the mud and sand covered competition of Monster’s latest installment are ready to test you.

Monster Energy Supercross 4 is a fairly hardcore title with a steep learning curve, but it doesn't really offer that much to experienced veterans of the MXGP series. It also doesn't really bring anything new to the table and the career mode is badly implemented.

Monster Energy Supercross- The Official Videogame 4 is fun racing game with a bit of a learning curve for the controls, but once you start to pick it up so does the fun.

In order to bring the simulation of motorcycle racing to videogames, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 4 values an authentic gameplay that sets the standards of the riding experience, bringing players closer to the realism of motorcycling. Although well intentioned, the title still needs better technical aspects to promote a more effective simulation.

Monster Energy Supercross 4 continues Milestones work at crafting finely tuned bike racing games but the jump to the PlayStation 5 isn’t as big visually as I would’ve liked. The better load times and adaptive trigger support were greatly appreciated and the biggest things that separates this from the PlayStation 4 version. The game is still pretty unforgiving for newbies so prepare to fail a lot if this ends up being your first time with this franchise. Fans of the franchise will find quite a lot to enjoy with some refinements to the physics, new skill tree system and career events, along with the track editor and Compound.
