Summary
Freestyle Metal X unleashes anarchy with the freedom to do what you want, when you want. Be anti-establishment: break windows, run over people, ride where you normally can't ride...and get away with it. With an unlimited stunt system and a lawless energy, Freestyle Metal X dares riders to push the envelope with psychotic tricks in limitless, freestyle environments full of challenges and side events. Freestyle Metal X doesn't just cross the line, it eliminates it. A sizable dose of insanity will help you perform stunts on the tops of buildings, get air over the Vegas Strip, or shoot yourself out of a cannon onto the Marina streets. Be sick all over! [Midway]

GamePro
Delivers a burly extreme experience that doesnt feel like it was cloned.

This game plays well, and looks good. The musical score pops and drives this game very well. The action is well rendered and fast paced.
Read Full Review >TotalGames.net
The bikes handle brilliantly, with a real sense of momentum and a transfer of weight to the front and rear wheels under acceleration and braking.
Read Full Review >Game Chronicles
The trick system is overwhelming in scope and the difficulty is challenging yet rewarding once you master its nuances.
Read Full Review >Operation Sports
The game itself, while not deep, does allow a pretty solid amount of playing time to accomplish all the goals on the expansive levels.
Read Full Review >Gamezilla!
The greatest feature of the game is that once unlocked, you can apparently drive from one end of the first level all the way to the end of the last level, as theyre all connected portions of one large city, which the designers claim loads seamlessly.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
Offers fun, fast, and wide-open game play in the vein of Tony Hawk, even with the disappointing multiplayer aspect.
Read Full Review >IGN
It's wide-open, fun and has a good sense of humor, to boot. Besides, who can resist the allure of Motley Crue, Megadeth and Motorhead contributing heavily to the soundtrack?
Read Full Review >Play Magazine
The animation is sweet, depth of faces and places deep like Def Poetry, the play mechanics are superb and the controls are nicely laid. [July 2003, p.79]
Cheat Code Central
You can't help but love this game. Even if you're not at all interested in bikes, boards and inline skates, there are enough levels, modes and objectives to interest virtually all gamers.
Yahoo! Games
Faults aside, the adventurous out there will thoroughly enjoy the level design - it's a blast!
Read Full Review >Maxim Online
While this muck jam has expansive environments and great graphics, it also boasts as much originality as a Winger sing-along chorus. But that doesnt mean it cant be fun.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
For a motocross game, MetalX is pretty hardcore. [Aug 2003, p.91]
PSM Magazine
Level design is a blast, with plenty of ramps and rails everywhere and crazy challenges galore. It may not be perfect, but it is fun. [Sept 2003, p.38]
Sports Gaming Network
While FMX is competent, its Career mode lacks magic and its racing and freestyle components do not outshine those of other motocross titles.

Although none of us may have asked for it, this game does offer a reasonably fun time... It's the kind of game they invented the rental for. [Aug 2003, p.99]
GameSpot
The game's poor graphical performance really gets in the way of the game's cool trick system, and the end result is undeniably tarnished.
Read Full Review >Village Voice
Two things, besides the lack of a true multiplayer option, set Freestyle Metal X apart from other ex-games: the option to link its unlockable environments, so you can speed directly from the seaside into a snowstorm; and its soundtrack's handful of classic metal tunes from Twisted Sister, Mötley Crüe, Megadeth, and Motörhead.

Between the variety, the playability and the great feeling of accomplishment that comes from completing one of the many tasks, FMX is really quite good fun. Overly ambitious but fun nonetheless. [Oct 2003, p.115]
Gamer's Pulse
Its got scantily clad women, hard rock music, dirt bikes, and lots of bloody crashes. It doesnt break any new ground by any means, but FMX provides an entertaining extreme sports experience.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
An average game built on a lot of great, borrowed ideas. The playability is good and there are plenty of tricks to be tried, but folks with more active imaginations and sensitive fingers might want to stay away from this C-class jump-fest.
Read Full Review >Cinescape
The moves and modifers require a lot more memorization and button tapping. It's frustrating and there is quite the learning curve on the controls, so you can't just jump in.
Read Full Review >Electronic Gaming Monthly
The repetitive challenges are uncreative, and the game's choppy graphics and collision-detection isues make the whole experience head-splitting. [Aug 2003, p.116]
GameNow
FMX is crippled by a trick-modifier system that makes big combos too irritating to complete. [Aug 2003, p.34]
GameCritics
I swear, I felt my IQ drop as I was playing the game, the sounds of brain cells popping melding nicely with the oh-so-bland cock-rock soundtrack that seems to be a requisite feature of sophomoric extreme sports tie-ins.

I don't know what all these critics are talking about, this game is kickass. The soundtrack is awesome, there's posters of girls, all in all, this game kicks ass. Everything but it was kind of hard.
I don't Know gave it a 10:
It's insane. This is the best dirtbike game avilible. It combines an Atv off road Fury feel with dirtbikes. I have been waiting so long for a game like this. Now i have 1. Now all need is an M16 and i can complete my regimen and arsenal to rule the world.
A.S. Wipe gave it an 8:
It was pretty badass, there's a good soundtrack, and awesome hangtime moves, but like downhill domination, it just kind of gets repetitive.
