About MX vs. ATV Reflex
MX
vs. ATV Reflex marks the highly anticipated return of the
best-selling off-road racing franchise and features the all-new Rhythm
Racing 2.0 physics engine, Rider Reflex control system and real-time
terrain deformation. The Rider Reflex control system provides
unparalleled precision and fluidity by separating machine steering from
body positioning, which allows the independently controlled rider to
shift his weight, perform death-defying stunts and avoid potentially
devastating wrecks. Unprecedented terrain deformation creates
ever-changing courses as off-road vehicles carve lines and deep ruts
that have a real-time impact on gameplay and remain persistent through
the full length of each race. MX

and leave their mark in Holiday 2009. For more information on MX
