The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising their quality and realism, particularly in bike and rider customization, while others criticize them as outdated and lacking in performance, especially on lower-end systems. Many users note that while the visuals are appealing, they are marred by issues such as lag and poor physics, which detract from the overall experience. Overall, the graphics are seen as a strong point for some, but not enough to compensate for the game's other shortcomings.
- “Graphically, I love the look of this game.”
- “Real tracks, real riders, realistic graphics and handling, what else could you possibly want?”
- “Graphics-wise the game looks and runs great with my fps staying between 50-60fps on the max settings.”
- “The graphics in this game are terrible for this day and age.”
- “There are stunning games out there with way better looking graphics than this effort by Milestone.”
- “Glitch backs when racing fast, graphic lag is real and the crashes when you would normally land just fine are a joke.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics and improved physics compared to previous titles, offering a solid inertia feel and customizable riding styles. However, players have reported issues with menu navigation, difficulty settings, and controller mapping, which detract from the overall experience. While the game shows potential, several mechanics need refinement to enhance playability and user satisfaction.
- “The manual leaning mechanics combined with the controllable chaos you can do with your bike is just nuts to the point of actually having a riding style of your own when you've got it down.”
- “The solid inertia feel and the gameplay are really solid and worthy of recommendation alone.”
- “They really nailed it with physics, gameplay, graphics, and detail.”
- “Game wouldn't let me change the difficulty, the menu is hard to navigate, using a controller and the deadzones or sensitivity feels off and can't seem to find anywhere I can change that. I might have been the physics style but again I couldn't change it (can see the option but it is locked). Never lock basic gameplay options... also the constant resets when I have hardly left the track after a mistake makes the game feel very clunky and impossible to win as I respawn with zero speed.”
- “The mechanics of the game are somewhat decent except for the fact you can't go inside on someone without crashing for no reason, and for some reason you can't turn immediately after you whip.”
- “The game is the gameplay is completely identical and as a game pretty much the same as the old MXGP game release but just a little updated, as well as the driver list.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous players reporting significant glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as the "suction glitch" and issues with AI behavior. Many users feel the game is unfinished and plagued by bugs, leading to frustrating experiences during races. While graphics performance is generally good, the persistent stability issues overshadow the overall enjoyment.
- “The game looks and runs great, with my FPS staying between 50-60 on the max settings.”
- “The game maintains a solid performance, consistently delivering smooth gameplay.”
- “I've experienced no crashes or major bugs, making for a very stable gaming experience.”
- “Another of the things that made me stop playing this game are the glitches. One of them is the inside glitch; there is a 90% chance that if you are going to pass a rider on the inside, you will end up under his motorcycle and falling.”
- “Now moving onto the glitches and issues with game lag. I don't own the top of the line PC, but my i7 3930k with 16GB RAM and a GTX 1080 is good enough to play most games without issue. However, this game is just terrible.”
- “This game feels unfinished and buggy.”

- “So far I can really tell when adjusting the suspension based on bike performance.”
- “This game runs horrible, 24GB RAM + RTX 3050, but the game is still stuttering like hell. I run heavier games smoother than this piece of garbage.”
