Monster Energy Supercross The Official Videogame 3  Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Monster Energy Supercross — The Official Videogame 3 definitely isn’t an elegant name; it’s a blunderbuss burst of buzzwords and branding that sounds like it was put together by a disinterested legal department via email. It is, however, a decent game, albeit one that isn’t exactly dazzlingly different to the equally decent pair of Supercross games Milestone already released in 2019 and 2018. It’s very much another lap on the same rutted course. Following in the wake of its four-wheeled peers carving out yearly cadences that deliver authentic, licensed motorsport experiences – like F1 and WRC – Supercross 3 is an earnest and competent crack at capturing the atmosphere of the motorbikes, ’Murica, n’ Monster Energy-fuelled tone of the AMA Supercross Championship. Hey: if travelling back and forth across the United States trying not to fall over sounds appealing to you, but you don’t have the patience for Death Stranding, maybe this is more your speed. Somewhere, somehow, Norman Reedus’ trousers are tingling, either way. The fast pace and sense of speed is actually one of Supercross 3’s best assets, and I admire its ability to make even modest velocities seem blistering and dangerous in the cramped, stadium-style circuits – shoulder to shoulder with up to two dozen other riders.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

There’s something about how the ground whips by and riders’ clothing furiously flaps on their backs as the competitors slice through the air that really sells this. Of course, returning fans will know this minor graphical flourish has been a feature of developer Milestone’s Supercross series since the franchise debuted in 2018, and it’s one of many that go all the way down from the track editor to what seems to be the same range of butt patches. That said, there are some differences here that distinguish Supercross 3 from Supercross 2 beyond the token changes to the HUD. First and foremost is the tweaked bike handling. Bikes feel more connected to the ground than in previous editions, which had a bit of a floaty feel to the back wheel, but the difference doesn’t seem hugely staggering. Racing remains fairly accessible because there are still two handling settings – standard and realistic. Standard dulls the sense of side-to-side inertia a bit and realistic challenges you to take full control of weight shifting, but there isn’t really a massive gulf between the two. However, while it’s straightforward to pick up the learning curve is steep and, like the past two games, regardless of the handling mode it’s hard to ever quite know what will cause a bail. It’s pretty forgiving if you mess up a rhythm section and case a jump (or three, or four; botch one landing and it tends to doom you to several more ugly jumps and spine-rattling landings).

But the barest brush of a trackside tuff block is still regularly enough to send you cartwheeling into oblivion. Try to scrub a jump too late and you may also find yourself pitching into weird mid-air twists that seem to unleash a ferocious fart in the face of physics. There are rewards for not using rewinds during races, but I don’t earn them much. It doesn’t help that the tutorial can barely be classified as such. It tells players how to start and then just… lists the buttons on screen while a race unfolds, without any further instructions on how to do anything else. A basic history with motorcycle games is probably enough to be able to pick up Supercross 3, keep yourself pointed in the right direction, and accidentally teach yourself how to seat bounce, but it seems odd it doesn’t really make much of an effort to teach players the real nuances of its bike handling dynamics. A deeper dive into the necessary techniques to tackle tracks is buried beneath a bunch of menu shuffling in Challenge Mode, but I found free riding around the open-world compound area allows for experimentation and practice with far less rigid constraints. Italian developer Milestone might not have the pedigree of Polyphony Digital or Codemasters – at least, not yet – but the racing specialist has always seen the value in porting many of its games to handheld platforms.Operation Tango

Just being able to play the original MXGP – albeit in its ‘Compact’ form – on PS Vita, years before Switch even launched, was a revelation for off-road racing fans. In the years since, Milestone has had varying degrees of success on Nintendo’s current-gen hardware, and with Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3 it’s produced a port that reflects those years of refinement while still not doing enough to elevate the series beyond the usual pitfalls of an iterative motorsport series. The first entry in MXGP’s arena-based cousin ended up being a very choppy experience, with notable modes completely ripped out as part of the process. When the sequel arrived on Nintendo Switch at the start of last year, it brought with it a far more agreeable take for those that wanted to take their two-wheeled racing on the go, including the return of online multiplayer and the popular track editor. Admittedly, it wasn’t perfect, but at least it was a step in the right direction for a studio that clearly wants to create as much parity as possible between Switch and other platforms. With the series’ third entry, that parity is closer than ever, including changes to the sandbox compound map, a new physics model and more. I’ve wrung plenty of fun out of Supercross 3 since coming to grips with the handling, however. Nailing a perfect holeshot in the frantic blitz to the first corner.

Or skipping over a series of whoops without losing momentum is very satisfying; you’ve just got to work for it. The 450s are my highlight, and easily the most fun to ride. The increased power allows you to step out the rear, turn harder, and jump further. The other notable new features are that you can now join official teams in career mode and, for the first time in the series, you can play as female riders. They don’t look any better than the blokes, who aren’t exactly up to 2020 standards themselves, but it’s good to finally recognise that women can, in fact, ride bikes. For those yet to be initiated in the ways of muddy motorsport, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 3 is a bike racing simulator based on the annual AMA Supercross Championship. Raced primarily in the US, the sport functions a lot like motocross, with a large number of competitors riding off-road motorbikes around dirt tracks filled with ramps, jumps and tight corners. Much like previous entries, success is all about knowing how to use the inertia of your bike (controlled with the left analogue stick) and the balance and position of your rider (controlled with the right stick).Monster Hunter Rise

When you’re jostling for space around a wide corner, or having to readjust your angle in mid-air to compensate for an upcoming turn, you realise there’s far more going on here than just overtaking other riders and pulling off fast lap times. With a relatively stable 30fps on Switch, even the slightly blurry track or rider textures fail to impact the sense of accomplishment that comes from successfully taking your fingers off the gas, leaning into a corner, shifting the weight of your driver to compensate then hitting the gas to gain a few extra inches of progress. Even pulling off a scrub (where you twist your bike in mid-air on a long jump to reduce your height) is incredibly satisfying. The game’s physics have been adjusted for this third entry, but only series veterans who play with more realistic settings will really appreciate these adjustments (such as how your speed is far more affected by where you land on a ramp or braking bump, or how easy it is to fly off your bike if you clip a berm). Monster Energy Supercross 3 rides a groundswell of momentum based on the prior two efforts by developer Milestone. Those installments were spotty in terms of feature set and performance, but they offered major promise. And the 2020 edition of the series largely makes notable strides in the right direction. Boasting many upgrades and modern updates, including dedicated servers, a race director and some reworked physics.

Enjoy An Improved Gameplay.

Just to name a few—Monster Energy Supercross 3 stands as a worthwhile entry. The question becomes, then, whether it moves the needle enough for newcomers to jump in and long-time fans to re-up. Graphics certainly weren’t an issue with the last few installments in the series, and that remains with the 2020 edition. Monster Energy Supercross 3 does most of the immersion-creating stuff on the track quite well. Big stadiums dwarf the riders on the track, and cameras flash. Out in the wild, Mother Nature can influence not only how things look but how things play out. The series has always had a vibrant color palette, and it rings true again as riders and bikes stand out from each other, even in muddy circumstances. As races develop, track degradation and weather make for muddy ruts and visually-pleasing alterations. Riders again have fun physics, whether it’s during a wreck or otherwise, and even the jerseys notably sway based on momentum. Off the track is where things have looked downgraded in the past, with pre- and post-race cinematics not looking up to snuff. There’s an improvement there, with character models looking much better and more realistic. All that aside, it’s great to see female riders included in the experience for the first time in the series.

It isn’t all perfect. Shadows do some weird bouncing around at times and there’s notable pop-in while cruising the Compound. Every now and then there seemed to be a strange dot of moisture on the screen in random spots. But the drawbacks aren’t damaging enough to counteract a package that does a really good job of offering up some immersive speed once things get going. Sound design is again a strong point. This time there is a booming soundtrack to go along with the usual drones of the bikes and roars of crowds. Some more variety in those latter two areas would be welcome, but it all mixes together well. Speaking of mixing together well, the visuals and gameplay do so once again. The track degradation plays a big role in how the track feels and how a race develops. Lap 3 of an event in the rain is dramatically different from the opening lap, for example. Some of the gameplay changes feel great, too. This year’s version feels a little more arcadey than last year, but it’s hard to complain. There seems to be more freedom in the air to maneuver the bike, which is a welcome change. This is a nice update to have in the middle of the race, even if it doesn’t feel like opposing rider A.I. is doing anything different this time out.

Things don’t feel as floaty, either, which in turn seems to mean a reduction in the number of times a rider goes flailing off into the atmosphere like somebody pressed an eject button. Which isn’t to say that doesn’t happen anymore, but there shouldn’t be funny montages or moments of frustration at key times, either. As usual, players have plenty of assist options to choose from right out of the gate. And even without those, this has just as much pick-up-and-play potential as the last few editions. But those deeply knowledgeable about this area can hop in and craft a more in-depth experience to their liking. From a gameplay perspective, Milestone doesn’t have an easy task as it attempts to please the hardcore crowd and also draw in a bigger audience. The tweaks here and there for this year’s game are mostly welcome, though, crafting a strong overall effort. On the singleplayer side of things, Monster Energy Supercross 3 is expectedly standard fare again. After a brief introductory race, it’s nice to pick from a few of the big teams and sponsors and go from there, climbing the ranks. But this isn’t anything like other major sports franchises in terms of storytelling—which is fine—so don’t expect any major cutscenes or anything of the sort.Beneath the Mountain
