MXGP Pro review code provided by the publisher. Version 1.03 reviewed on a PlayStation 4 Pro. For more information on scoring, please read our Review Policy .

Reviewed by Tom Harrison-Lord. With the release of Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame from Milestone earlier this year, I was tricked into thinking this meant they would be taking a year off from their long-standing MXGP franchise. I was wrong.

Challenging physics model; Pretty visuals; Some mighty fine mud simulation; You have to think; in a good way; A real sense of accomplishment to winning races; Possibly Milestone's finest achievement to date

Performance issues during frenetic moments; Slow loading times; Unbalanced AI; Learning curve not for the faint hearted

Good fun

Italian developer Milestone is back with another installment in the MXGP series, this time the PRO edition. Milestone has a decent track record with previous motorcycle games – the MotoGP and MXGP series. Like it's sister game, Monster Energy Supercross, MXGP Pro runs on the Unreal Engine 4.

Visually stunning; Varied racing options; Deep career mode; Solid bike physics

Feels; plays; and looks a lot like Supercross; Tutorials are underwhelming; Menu loadings are slow and numerous

If there is one genre of video games that consistently struggles to get it right, it is racing simulators. There are a few franchises that do get it right, but for the most part, it is a genre filled with mediocrity.

Solid Motocross racing experience; Track design and physics; Fun career mode

Multiplayer doesn't work so well; Texture pop in and slow loading; Not the best UI

Called MXGP Pro after the title's freshly implemented Pro Physics, the attempt at greater realism makes clear that this soft reboot strives to reinvent the series by delivering a truly authentic motocross experience.
