The premise behind MX Nitro is to perform as many outrageous tricks as possible, combining them all in quick succession to get boost (Nitro), and to speed past your opponents in this ruthless racer. It became the game’s signature look and knowing this wasn’t exactly a AAA title, but Miniclip’s first exclusive PC and console game, it gave it so much charm. Thankfully I forgot about this very quickly and I couldn’t imagine the game looking any other way. It isn’t to the side, like Trials Fusion, and it isn’t behind like MX vs ATV, it’s at a diagonal which at the beginning felt very unnatural. One thing I will comment on regarding visuals though, is the choice of camera angle used. The dust and mud being kicked up by the bikes, the detailed suspension movements and the environments constantly changing have kept me engaged for hours. For a fun, arcade style game, it’s beautiful. Nostalgia is a powerful thing and can make us believe games looked better than they actually did, but luckily, Saber Interactive have kept the fundamentals of the old motocross games and simply given it a face-lift. The game starts with “the basics” training – I immediately felt all nostalgic and couldn’t help but feel like a kid again, remembering playing Miniclip games back in school when I was supposed to be working.
