We already know that
MX vs. ATV Reflex, to be released this coming December, will be featuring a new physics engine jam packed with interesting and welcomed additions. THQ has put in the time to ensure a more realistic riding experience: the Rider Reflex control system allows you to control your movement more accurately and perform tricks, while the real-time terrain deformation will actively reformulate the track as riders do their damage to it.

James Stewart has already been announced, but the new additions include Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, Josh Grant, and Ryan Villopoto to name just a few. Check out the screenshots of the new characters, as well as the video of mini interviews with the famed motocross-men.

About MX vs. ATV Reflex
MX vs. ATV Reflex marks the highly anticipated return of the best-selling off-road racing franchise and features the all-new Rhythm Racing® 2.0 physics engine, Rider Reflex control system and real-time terrain deformation. The Rider Reflex control system provides unparalleled precision and fluidity by separating machine steering from body positioning, which allows the independently controlled rider to shift his weight, perform death-defying stunts and avoid potentially devastating wrecks. Unprecedented terrain deformation creates ever-changing courses as off-road vehicles carve lines and deep ruts that have a real-time impact on gameplay and remain persistent through the full length of each race. Grip tight and hang on, MX vs. ATV Reflex is scheduled to be in stores Holiday 2009. For more information on MX vs. ATV Reflex, please visit www.mxvsatv.com.
