Critic Reviews

92 GameSpot
In all areas--gameplay, graphics, sound, and overall longevity--Full-Fat and Acclaim have literally created a handheld miracle.
90 Hot Games
This game rivals Tony Hawk for the Advance, and takes better advantage of the engine than the poorly tuned Mat Hoffman.
90 Nintendophiles
This game can have loads of excitement. One of the main reasons is that the controls are excellent and it is easy to pull off major combos without a lot of effort. However, the game is still going to be hard to master.
84 IGN
Look beyond the awkward occurrences in the physics and gameplay, and you'll find a lot of fun and a good challenge throughout Mirra 2's eight different parks.
83 Game Informer
Inferiorities to Tony aside, Mirra 2 makes other portable action sports games look like a pile of puke. [Mar 2002, p.91]
69 GameZone
The slow gameplay may not bother everyone, but I guarantee that it will annoy anyone who has played the real version of the game because the difference in speed is very noticeable.
66 Nintendo Power
Your ride seems faster than Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX for GBA, and it's easier to bust out long chains of tricks. [Jan 2002, p.132]
