2XL Games released their much anticipated offroad motorcycle racing game tonight: 2XL Supercross [App Store].

The $7.99 game offers a truly remarkable package from the creative team who also developed Motocross Madness, ATV Offroad Fury, and MX Unleashed for other platforms. This iPhone game offers a laundry list of features:

  • Tracks designed by Motocross champion Stephane Roncada
  • 3 Modes of Play: Time Trials, Practice and Racing
  • 4 Camera views
  • 8 preset control schemes
  • 12 different tracks
  • 15 different bikes with 15 different skins
  • “Secret jump combinations"

The original developer gameplay video shows off a race with accelerometer controls:

When playing the actual game, the first thing that you notice is the high production quality of the entire game. 2XL Games offers a number of calibration options as well as 8 different control schemes. This includes accelerometer, slider or joypad steering as well as left/right handed combinations.

The game comes with 12 tracks (many locked) that can be played in Practice, Time Trial or Race modes. Locked tracks can be unlocked when placing 1st or 2nd in a race. Whips and backflips can be performed and a reference to “secret jump combinations" is mentioned in the app store description.

We recorded this video to show off the control schemes, track choices and a bit of the gameplay:

Early reactions to the game have been very positive, though some have voiced concern about a lack of “career" mode in the game. We’ll offer a more in-depth look at the game after we’ve had more time with it.
