![]() ![]() It’s rare you’ll finish 10 th, for example, if you are of middling ability. ![]() Either grab the lead at the start by holding back off the line before divebombing the entire field down the inside of Turn 1 or get bogged down, eaten alive and finish last. This leads to the same gameplay as any other Supercross release in many ways. ![]() This is what happens in the real world, except here it just looks so robotic.Ĭompetitors push you along from behind like a snowplough or knock you aside as if they are made from granite. Get caught in the midfield, and you’re going to get beaten up. While they may be more in tune with most players’ skill levels, they still ride as if you don’t exist. Local split-screen multiplayer is also a welcome addition, providing much hilarity as you try not to crash for the hundredth time against the AI.Īh yes, your rivals. Hopefully, this is something that changes for the inevitable Supercross 6. There is a caveat, however, and that is the ground detail on the console version is a bit hit and miss, and that’s a shame because it only takes one look at other Milestone games on these new systems to see what they can do. We’ve played this on both a PS5 and a PC during the preview and review process, and the rider and bike details are now superlative and frame rates stable. Other new additions this year include the ability to join an online race after it has started, more obvious signposting for user-created tracks and, at times, outstanding visuals. Refine these elements, and this mode could be up there with something like the MotoGP game’s genre-leading efforts Working your way through Futures, Rookie and Pro is linear, but a slew of additional side events, skill tree unlocks, XP and credits mean there’s always something to do – which makes it even more of a shame that team management aspects are absent and the bike upgrades simplistic. There are more customisation options than ever before, including tattoos and earrings for riders, and the ability to create, share and download custom helmet designs just like in the developer’s road-going motorcycle title Ride 4. Plus, after you’ve tried a few, you can just spend 10,000 credits to mend your rider’s dislocated shoulder instead. Sure, the rider Workout Session where you collect the letters S.H.A.P.E like a 00s Tony Hawk game gets a little repetitive, but it finally makes use of the Compound area that is largely redundant otherwise. There have always been side challenges, rider cosmetics to unlock and training events, but in Supercross 5 they are melded together alongside the rider injury ‘SHAPE’ system, key rivalries and contract negotiations to deliver a rich and worthy progression system. Once again, this theme of relatively simple additions really brings the experience to life. ![]() The main unleaded within the combustion chamber is the Career Mode. In the previous iteration, ‘Very Easy’ AI difficulty was the order of the day for many, but the levels are now more progressive and at the top, provide close races for those with talent. The assists combined with your additional knowledge work in harmony with computer-controlled rivals that have simmered down. A simple explanation, if presented in crushingly low resolution it must be said, followed by a short hands-on test. Utilising a voiceover by seven-time AMA Motocross 450cc and five-time AMA Supercross 450cc champion Ricky Carmichael, it explains how to shift your rider’s weight around corners and before jumps. That’s where the Futures Academy comes in. The actual ‘Tutorial’ is still more basic than a European youth hostel, and once complete proclaims that you are “now ready to take on the best”. Alongside these precautions is a more detailed tutorial mode – at last! But you need to know where it is. ![]()
