What a stupid name. We remember when ‘Unleashed’ used to be the suffix, but now it’s just blended into the rest of the title. Now it’s got a suffix for the already suffixed, with ‘On The Edge’: a forgettable, indistinguishable extension to an equally forgettable and indistinguishable game.

Given the ridiculousness of the title you’d at least expect the reason for this game being bad to be an exciting one. Maybe it had too much bling thrown in, or the stunts were too chaotic. No – unfortunately the reasons for this dirt-track racer being so poor are boring. The control is dreadful, regardless of you choosing to be the two-wheeled MX or the four-wheeled ATV. It’s a bit of a cliché, but it honestly feels like you’re turning the track and not the vehicles, whilst performing stunts is such a timid affair you may as well not do it. There’s also the relentless, headache-inducing buzz of the engines and the muffled-hairdryer ‘roar’ of the crowd, the excruciatingly dull browns of the tracks and the fact that four in a race is never going to be enough. This is grotesque stuff, made to feel all the more shallow by the inclusion of thin stores and all-too-similar modes. And all that from a game with a 200-word title.
