Great game. One of my favourites in the series.

I've only played now for like nearly 4h in this game, and so far it's just as I remember playing it back in the day, and now that I have more proper experience with other MX vs. ATV games, I now have an easier time playing games like this.

I personally have not had any issues with the game other than a minor one when I played on my Steam Deck, which only seem to occur whenever I do events like the Trophy Trucks or Monster Trucks during an MX/ATV championship, however one that I seem to understand and had a bit of a problem with as well is the lack of controller support, or at least what I thought.

It does apparently have controller support, but not fully. You can use a controller during racing events, but not in menus for some reason, or at least the stick and D-pad. However strangely enough, the face buttons does work in the menus, and it functions just like on consoles, so no need to map ESC to B or something, though you can't pause the game either, so that needs to be mapped.

It was so strange that I had to make my own Steam Imput Layout just to get around this, especially after trying out other Community Layouts and personally disliked them, many of them using the arrow keys mapped to the left stick which is a big no for me. Anyone can give my layout a try btw, though I don't know if it only works on PC or even Steam Deck users can use it, I'm new to Communuity Layouts. Personally this is my only nitpick about this port since I'm very baffled over how Beenox managed to complicate such a simple thing, unless this was a standard at the time.

But yeah, still a great racing game, still holds up very well, and I highly recommend it, with the only caviat in this version being that you need to use a Community Layout to be able to play it properly, and a right layout at that.
