Gameplay
The game encompasses several modes:
All versions of Untamed support multiplayer, with handheld versions supporting up to 4 players via a local wireless network (without
This was also the last game in the MX vs. ATV series to feature single stick turning controls. In Untamed, only the left joystick is used to control all aspects of leaning and turning for the vehicle in use. All versions of the game that were released after MX vs. ATV Untamed included dual-stick controls, which require the player to use both the left and right joystick to complete a full turning motion. Often in these games, one stick would be used to lean the rider in the desired direction while the other would be used to turn the vehicle in unison.
Tuning options are available in the settings of the game. Performance options include acceleration, speed, suspension, engine, and brakes. Many of the settings are customizable to varying degrees using a sliding bar. For example, sliding the bar down for suspension would create softer suspension, while sliding the bar up would make for stiffer suspension.
Visual customization options are also available within the game, but they do not affect the overall performance of the player. Visual customization for vehicles is found under the "vehicle parts" tab and includes graphic kits, grip color, hand guards, handlebars, plastic color, hub color, tires, rim color, exhausts, suspensions, and fork tube color. Visual customization for the rider is found under the "customize rider" tab and includes helmets, goggles, gear, boots, chest protectors, name, number, and skin tone. If players wish to use a predetermined setup, they can also choose one from the "MX Pro Rider" tab in the customization options.
