86/100

Ricky Carmichael's Motocross Matchup Pro is a high-octane dirt bike racer that prioritizes the competitive spirit of the sport. Unlike some racers that feel too floaty, the physics here have a satisfying weight; you really feel the impact of a hard landing and the struggle for traction in the mud. The controls are responsive, allowing for the precise leaning and throttle control needed to clear large triple jumps.

The real highlight is the online multiplayer. Matching up against riders worldwide in real-time races creates a genuine sense of competition. The leveling system and bike upgrades provide a solid reason to keep grinding, and the officially licensed tracks add a layer of authenticity that motocross fans will truly appreciate. It’s a rugged, fast-paced, and technically sound racing game.

Dinsun Review

I’ve seen a lot of racing games, and this one is... aggressively mediocre. The physics are okay—the bike feels heavy, which is good—but the 'Matchup' focus means the tracks are often short and repetitive. Having Ricky Carmichael’s name on the box helps with authenticity, but the actual gameplay doesn't feel revolutionary.

The 'Pro' version doesn't feel particularly professional. The UI is dated, and the multiplayer matchmaking is hit-or-miss. It’s better than the free version because it lacks the same level of ad-bloat, but it’s still just a mid-tier racing game. It’s for Motocross fans only. Everyone else should stick to better-funded titles.
