Dirt bikes and off-road vehicles compete on mud, sand, and asphalt in
MX vs. ATV: Untamed. The sequel to 2005's
MX vs. ATV Unleashed features two modes spanning multiple events: X-Cross and Championship. The former involves advancing through four racing divisions while competing in four distinct events. The latter is a six-week tournament that involves earning points in an attempt to finish first overall. Also included in the
PlayStation 2 version of
MX vs. ATV: Untamed is a Custom Events option that lets players create their own tournament or race series. Available formats include Supercross, Supermoto, Opencross, Freestyle, Waypoint, Outdoor Nationals, and Freeride.
As in previous games in the series, players can "preload" jumps and perform an assortment of tricks and stunts while in the air. Players can also perfect their stunt skills in the Ski Jump or Hill Climb mini-games. A choice of 250cc and 500cc bikes, ATVs, and vehicles such as a monster truck, sand rail, and dune buggy can be purchased or customized with the money earned from competition. Online support is also included for up to six players, or two friends can compete via split-screen display. Eight professional racers are available to play as or against, from
Ricky Carmichael and
Davi Millsaps to Kory Ellis and Dana Creech. Both the
PlayStation 2 and
Wii versions were developed by
Incinerator Studios, whose previous
racing credits include
Cars and
Cars: Mater-National Championship on
Wii.
