MX vs. ATV Untamed is an offroad racing game developed by Rainbow Studios Tantalus Media Incinerator Studios and published by THQ for the PlayStation 2 and all seventh-generation platforms becoming the last MX vs. ATV game to release on the former and the first in the series to be available on most of the latter. It is a sequel to MX vs. ATV Unleashed and its PSP port MX vs. ATV: On the Edge as well as the first of two games in the MX vs. ATV series to be available on a Nintendo console. The game encompasses several modes: Motocross Opencross Supercross Supermoto Endurocross Free Ride and Minibikes among others. The player has a relatively wide choice of vehicles from monster trucks to trophy trucks to ATVs to motorbikes. In some modes gameplay takes place over two motos or qualifying events. The player's finishing position in the first moto determines who gets gate choice in the second moto. The player's finishing position in each moto determines how many points he or she gets. The goal is to finish the weekend with the most points. Additionally in some modes the player can participate in a short practice race which can help players become familiar with the track and the vehicle prior to the two motos. Setting the fastest time in practice gives the player first gate choice for the first moto. There is also a "Free Ride" mode which allows the player to explore indoor and outdoor locations featured in the other modes without time or track restrictions.
