Once I’d settled in, and found a decent set up for the bike, I soon found myself competing competently. There’s also upgrades to purchase to help you out, but most of these are rather expensive, so you’ll need to choose wisely. The little blurb under each setting does a decent job of helping you set up for the race ahead, though I could’ve used a ‘recommended’ set up feature to help get the most out of my bike. Pre-race, there’s a plethora of options to adjust, from suspension, to gear ratios and beyond. Get to grips with it though, and you’ll find a rather well detailed handling model, allowing you to really maintain control over your bike as you duck and weave through the mud. Combined with some incredibly tough AI even on the medium setting, I found myself in last place repeatedly. Playing with the default settings has the physics set to realistic, and boy, it doesn’t mess about. I found that this mode provided a good respite from the sometimes gruelling nature of the main Season. All these events use the same open map that you are free-roaming in, allowing you to learn the terrain outside of competing in them. There’s 3 main events to choose from: Catch-em-all, where you need to collect several objects in a short time window Gotta Go Faster, where you’ll need to get through checkpoints a quick as possible, and Ace in the Hole, where points are scored by squeezing through narrow gaps. These act more like mini game challenges, seemingly designed around short, snappy play sessions (even if the long loading screens put halt to any snappiness here). Plonked in a small-ish open world, you’re free to roam about, testing your bike’s set up and looking for markers to kick off one of the various events in game. For players such as myself – who have no real knowledge of the real world of MX – this mode is a great place to start. One option that stands out is Playground It’s here where players can get to grips with the tough to learn handling, as well as take part in various extra challenges and modes that aren’t your typical race events. Once booted, you’re presented with fairly self explanatory game modes. If not… well, while I did end up enjoying my time with it, in the early goings things didn’t look great. You’ll likely already know if this title is for you: if you’re a fan of the real life sport, then you’ll pick this up in no time. MXGP 2019 is, for all intents and purposes, exactly what you expect it to be.
