![]() ![]() With the clutch as a powerful tool, MTX: Mototrax provides more options for turns. By disengaging the clutch on a turn, the engine keeps going and when you release it at the end of a turn, the gears connect and the bike shoots out into the straightaway. Speeding off from a standstill is useful for the beginning of a race, but it's the turns where the clutch truly shines. By gunning the engine and then letting go of the clutch, the bike will shoot forward. By holding down the left trigger, the clutch disengages the gears so that the engine can rev without providing any power. Almost as useful, but a lot more fun, is the clutch. While it's easy to do full preloads before every jump, getting a slight preload or just compressing half of the suspension is much more useful when timing hills. With a preload meter on the screen you can see just how much extra pop you have in the suspension. ![]() This is done by pushing forward and then back or by holding down a button to compress and letting it go to launch. By leaning forward on the bike, the suspension gets compressed and pulling back gives more boost to get more height. Preloading in MTX: Mototrax is using the suspension of the bike to get a better pop off the tops of ramps and hills. It's all about getting the physics of flight down pat and learning the courses so that the hills can be used as launching pads rather than crash pads. Learning to mix up these skills and adjust them for the different races is another story entirely and that's where the skill and the addiction to racing comes right in. Gameplay With bikes that have an effective clutch and the ability to preload and simple controls for both, mastering the basic skills of using the bike takes just a few minutes. With plenty of old and new school music tracks to back it up, MTX: Mototrax is a solid title that deserves to spin for hours in your Xbox. An even less tangible positive aspect of MTX: Mototrax is the visceral sense of speed that makes the racing that much more worthwhile. A couple of the major additions are the clutch that provides plenty of pop and the online racing capability. The supercross races have plenty of tight turns to keep things interesting, the motocross tracks have the big big jumps that drive the fans wild, and the freestyle levels provide plenty of opportunities to try out a few of the 100+ tricks in the game. Taking elements from all across the motocross world, MTX: Mototrax provides a comprehensive look at the genre and keeps the action fast and fun. ![]()
