hahahahaha    ahhh you'll fit right in!

This controller... it has dual analogue sticks right?

It's a 360 controller for windows, plus i have a logitech rumble pad 2 and a corse handlebar controller - god knows i've tried - but kb is my weapon of choice. The controllers are smarter than me, seems you need independantly activated thumbs to operate Reflex using a 2 stick controller...

Sounds like your thumbs act like everyone's little finger.  When you move it, your ring finger comes along for the ride.. and same with your thumbs..

That's the key though to playing Reflex - learning to use both sticks.  Knowing how much movement you need and a what times.  Just takes a bit of practice.  I remember when I first got the game, I hated the dual stick system, but now I can't imagine playing without it.  Occassionally I use the keyboard when I'm doing a quick test ride, and there's no way of using the lean effectively.  It's either fully on or fully off.  To use the lean mechanic properly, analogue sticks are essential imo.

You should try a good joystick, back when I was playing Reflex... I had my steering, L-R and lean F-B on the joystick x-y axis  and the rider lean (L-R) on the z axis (twist), all controlled by one hand- no thumbs needed for steering or leaning.... felt 100% better than the 360 controller

Thanks gents, i find the range of motion on controller sticks to be less sensitivie than i need, probably just practice plus i work with kb everyday so it feels natural now.. Bob, I remember being intereted in the joystick idea before, i got as far as asking you which model you used but never got to the point of purchase.. It does sound more natural to twist the controller plus it would have greater range of motion. I also bought a low-end diy 3D printer with ideas about making my own controller, probably handlebar style - just need some time to play with it now..

Hi RK,  a little cranky , huh?   It looks fine to me.  I see it as a refined Alive SX.  No matter what complaints there were with Alive I still enjoyed the heck out of it.  It's going to take them some time to ramp up to PS4/XBox One games.

I believe that nobody make MX/SX games as good as Rainbow did and I'm glad that Nordic has assembled some of them back together.

On another note, I would love for you to remake some tracks for Reflex.  Now is  a perfect time to start.

Heya Bruce, no not Cranky, just taking facts... it looks like crap, all their introducing is a few new tracks.  Yes I'm glad, yes I'll buy it, but really surprised no improvements.  They're jumping over jumps, not real technical... but I'm all in!

I agree, they've the best we have, a shame really, as no one really focuses on Motocross.
