A brand new trailer for MX vs ATV Reflex is out and it highlights the game’s Rider Reflex feature. Reflex will see players controlling both the vehicle and the rider. You’ll be able to use the right analogue stick on your controller to lean your character on the ATV or bike to take tighter turns or gain more speed. Samit got his hands on the game not too long ago and elaborates more on this unique feature.
You can also learn more about this after the break as Jolene Van Vugt, co-star of MTV’s Nitro Circus, talks about the new feature. I played the game myself during E3 09 and was rather impressed by the new control scheme. I just wonder if people will like this new play style. Guess we’ll find out later this year when it’s released on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

As a former expert motorcross racer it is nice to see the technology in the controls catching up with the physics of racing. One of the most critical aspects of becoming a top notch rider is knowing the correct body positioning for each type of turn and technical area of a track....glad to see THQ has incorporated that aspect for more realistic game play. And the chick is hot...
First, that Jolene VanVaught(?) is pretty hot is probably decent looking at worst in my book. That being said there was a MotoGP game back in the early 2000's that had this feature. I always wondered why it was scrapped and hadn't resurfaced until just now. I always thought these kind of games felt a little empty without it, so here's hoping.
Hamza, you tard... It's not a mole, it's a piercing. And any chick that can eat shit while trying to backflip a dirt bike, then get back up and do it again is TOPS in my book. Jolene rocks.

Not really, but I do it so you don't have to. Or at least, shouldn't.
