    It has the small features bike fans will be looking for, but the game also caters for those looking for a quick spin with some powerful bikes.

    Easily the best motocross game I've ever played, and it's the first one I'd recommend to people who aren't the least bit fans of the sport.

    The attention to detail is commendable, but the sheer scope may be a point of frustration for some, especially those who come from the "Tony Hawk" school. The supercross races are so exacting that progression without dedication is impossible.

    The game looks cool as hell but its almost to much like MXsuperfly. The missions seem to be an awsome aspect, not just racing. Keep up the good work!!!… Expand

    This is an OK game with good graphics and music. The controls are arcade but its fun to fly off jumps. The actual racing is not very substantial feeling and may get boring. Many times you will fall because of the computer AI running into you. There are many modes to play. It also has Progressive Scan mode so this game actually looks really good. I think you'd be better off getting one of the later ATV Offroad games or excite-bike. Those seemed to have tighter physics. This is definitely better than SBK and MotoGP though. If you find it for $2, its worth a try.… Expand

    Control is terrible (far too sensitive on turning). Soundtrack is bad. Graphics are good.
