Best of the Series February 19, 2008
Untamed is definitely the best of this series with improvements to the graphics and interface without any compromises to the great feel of riding off-road vehicles. It's no Dirt or Forza 2 in terms of graphics, but it is several steps better than its predecessors. The environments are varied and beautifully modelled and rendered. There are many fun elements to ride on and jump over and through. The achievements are distributed in a logical way and are challenging without being frustrating to obtain.
They have removed the aircraft from the newest version (which is no big loss) and added increased customization capability and a much welcomed test track while you wait for your selection to load.
A great game to play with kids of any age. My six year old has played two previous versions and especially loves the 'free ride' mode.
 Great game for the entire family February 15, 2008
This game is great fun for the entire family, our two boys both under 10 love to play it in the free-for-all mode, while I enjoy playing it in competitions.
Overall, just good family fun...
 Promo looks much better than game really is February 9, 2008
I purchased this game based on the video promo thinking it would be a great 2 player game for my kids and allow me to pursue the career mode and learn more finer aspects of the game. The kids quickly lost interest though enjoyed making the players crash doing stunts and seeing the bodys fly all around. So I gave it an attempt with career. There are few customizations that can be bought that affect performance. All is visual only. The tricks are OK but nothing earth shattering. I just did not get into this one. I am a huge fan of Forza Motorsport, the Need for Speed Series and other racing games. I would suggest renting this one first to see if it is your style. It is not as exciting as the promo makes it look.
Fun Game January 25, 2008
Fun game play, head to head stuff great! Has a cool feature that you can drive around on a little track during the game loading (so you're not just watching a load screen).
Decent offering January 18, 2008

This is a fun game, no doubt about it. The graphics are great, the open environments are well laid out.
Customization is a bit limited in that the gear is already out of style (perfect example are the TLD helmets - a style that wasn't a hit 2 years ago and yet they're the only TLD choices in the game). They would have done well to allow color customization of generic gear - in addition to the brand name in the game. The bikes themselves, while looking like Yamahas, Hondas, Kawasakis, Hondas, and KTMs have bizarre names and limited plastic customization. They must have a trademark dispute going on with the Japanese makers.
Also, I race motorcycles in real life. Guys either race two wheels or four. I don't really have any interest in racing quads but to open locked areas of the game, the game forces you to race all the various vehicles. I would have preferred to have a MX ONLY career mode, unlocking all MX events. Also, I don't care about the freestyle mode and yet I have to play that to unlock MX-related areas.
As for the audio, I turned that down to zero almost immediately. The sound of the bikes is quite good and there's a definite difference between 2 strokes and 4 strokes.
The Supermoto is a refereshing addition but the tracks are way too wide open. Crank your bike up for full top end and you leave the pack behind almost immediately. Also, in real life the biggest visual difference for Supermoto is the slick tires. Yet the game has you race on the knobbies. A minor visual annoyance, yes, but they could have easily added street tires for the REAL look of Supermoto.
Overall a fun game with decent customization. Is it worth $60? No. Buy it when it hits $29.99.
