This is a review of the off-road racing game MX vs. ATV Reflex from publisher THQ; it covers all aspects of the game and explains exactly what the "reflex" is referring to in the game's title.

I always enjoy watching the X-Games event or shows like Nitro Circus on MTV, there is something about lots of mud and gasoline powered vehicle that makes me feel like a man. Even though the holiday rush of triple-A video games is over doesn’t mean there is nothing of quality releasing in December, one of those well-made titles is the newest off-road racing game from mega-publisher THQ. MX vs. ATV Reflex is a complete revamp to the series and attempts to blend racing with freestyle action. The first game in the MX franchise to grace next-gen consoles had a couple major issues, keeping it from becoming something I could recommend to anyone not a hardcore off-roading fan. Thankfully this time around the developers took a couple years and put some deep work into making sure that the result was different. The end product is something that represents the MX/ATV sport very well and features a ton of different gameplay modes resulting in hours of single or multiplayer fun. After spending more than ten hours with Reflex it became obvious that I was having a great time with all aspects of the title; 2009 isn’t over just yet gamers.
