GameZone

Graphically, "Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX" is about the best that you're going to see in a Playstation title.

PSX Nation

Surprisingly fun.

GamePro

Thanks to fresh physics challenges, ample combo lines, and trick-filled locales, Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX is the game to get.

Da Gameboyz

It plays well, and above all it is fun.

Gaming Age

If you loved Tony Hawk, you will definitely love Mat Hofman's Pro BMX. While it doesn't have the more extensive options and deeper mechanics of "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2," it has plenty of its own personality and depth.

Hot Games

But the one thing that can’t be overlooked is that the game is over way too soon...(but) lives up to the engine it’s built on – it’s a great companion to "THPS2."

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The environments are vast and nicely drawn, though the pop-up is a bit frustrating at times. [June 2001, p.103]

Maxim Online

Despite a trick roster with some troubling names (anyone care to attempt a “Rocket Queen”?), this is as down and dirty as they come. Detergent not included.

Cincinnati Enquirer

Players can create their own custom BMX tracks with the bundled 3-D course editor, offering more than 100 variations of ramps, rails and other obstacles.

BBC Sport

If you like rock music to accompany your efforts, this has some of the best with even the Stone Roses lending their tracks.

Gamezilla!

Smooth gameplay, great sound, and sharp graphics make this game a definite keeper.

GameSpot

Between the game sound and the game's eclectic soundtrack, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX is totally amazing...The soundtrack rivals "Wipeout XL" for the title of best licensed soundtrack ever.

IGN

I'd be ready to write off "Dave Mirra" completely after playing this, if it weren't for the fact I like Acclaim's lineup of riders so much.

Happy Puppy

It's still a very good game once you learn to live with its shortcomings, and I wouldn't suggest that any THPS addict shy away from buying it, but don't expect THPS on two wheels.

Game Revolution

But frankly, this type of fun we've all seen for the PSX twice already, and there's not really enough here to warrant dropping the dough and adding it to the collection - so rent before you buy.

Why are the graphics so bad that I wounld have more fun playing frisbee with the game than play it! Look at tony hawk 2's graphics compared to this! don't buy this rent it first, by the way hit retry 10 times and see the worst secret charater ever! but I gotta hand it to them creating your own coure(s) is cool but tony hawk 2 is cooler....

This game has pretty good graphics for the PSone, but fails to deliver more than high-score/ sparatic game play.

Daniel M. gave it a 10:
I give it a ten because I can get 3897 points in under 2 minutes.

Brad K. gave it a 10:
