THQ released a third MX game in 2004, titled MX Unleashed and developed by Rainbow Studios, the eventual creator of the MX vs. ATV series that serves as a crossover with Sony's ATV Offroad Fury series.

Gameplay

Players are able to create a male or female MX rider of their own and play in either two modes: racing or freestyle.[1][2] The former consists of races against opposing racers controlled by artificial intelligence, while the latter consists of levels taking place in various environments where the player must independently accomplish certain challenges.[1] It is also possible to play with a friend in split screen multiplayer, and the Xbox version exclusively features downloadable content consisting of extra soundtracks, riders and bikes that can be purchased from the Xbox Live service.[1]

Reception

The game was met with positive to average reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 77% and 76 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version;[4][7] 76% and 76 out of 100 for the GameCube version;[3][6] and 75% and 74 out of 100 for the Xbox version.[5][8]
