A just miss. Could have been a big hit.

Bottom line this game could have been great! But for some reason this series has gotten into that grey area of trying to be arcade and sim at the same time. For instance... you catch massive air off a jump and it's a great rush..... yet 7 out of 10 times you can't land it. It TOTALLY KILLS the game and makes it aggravating... not fun. If 'Untamed' had more forgiving gameplay like say Motorstorm does where you can land awesome jumps and keep going... it would be a winner imo. Lean towards ARCADE style gameplay next time! It's got so many things going for it with the modes and stuff... but it doesn't matter when the gameplay is frustrating. Fix the physics so you can land jumps!!! I've been a fan of this series since it started... and the arcade style is why it was so appealing. No need to add the sim stuff. And if you must.... make 2 seperate gameplay modes to choose from. One Arcade and one Sim for those who are ok with having to be PERFECT on a landing. I also thi k the next game should try for a little more imagination with the courses/tracks... and really go over the top on some of them. Make a track that climbs a mountain... where you can launch your vehicle off and to the track below ala Beetle Racing! :) This isn't a bad game at all... it's a just miss game that should have rocked hard. Forget the sim stuff already and go with what works and what got ya here!
