Anyone with a taste for action sports will love getting sick with this game. [Feb 2002, p.87]

One of the best games of the year on any system.

What gives Mirra the slight edge over its competition is the game’s modifier system that, at the press of a button, lets you tweak and customize nearly every trick in the game. [Feb 2002, p.164]

Gamezilla!
Extremely engaging and challenging. The control system for pulling off tricks was intuitive and was picked up quickly but some of the challenges were frustrating.

The sound track? Sublime and Ozzy Osbourne - it doesn't get any better than that. [Dec 2001, p.168]
