Milestone’s annual game’s name sounds awkward, and saying it out loud gets even more bothersome (and it gives more advertising to the energy drinks company).

“Ready to enjoy some exciting gameplay? In collaboration with the well-known creator EnduroGame, the first gameplay of Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 5 is here. Jump, scrub and race as fast as you can! This year, Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 5 features an enhanced gameplay thanks to some improvements to bike control, giving more freedom and precision. Even the steering has been revised for a more precise guide in all phases on the ground; last but not least, suspension system and drift management are now refined, allowing to be more aggressive without falling by opening the throttle at the end of the drift.

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 5 also features much help for newcomers with the Future Academy, a friendly tutorial to guide you through the mastering of the Supercross basics,” the press release says. Having a tutorial is something that previous games in the series lacked: they effectively threw the player into deep water without even wishing good luck.
