Critic Reviews

88 Gamezilla!
The best motorcycle racing game on the system. I am very impressed with just about every aspect of the game. It is tough but not insanely tough.
81 PSX Nation
One of the few PSX racers worth paying top dollar for these days if you love the sport (and don't have access to a Nintendo 64).
76 Sports Gaming Network
Acclaim's "Freestyle Motocross: McGrath vs. Pastrana" has a better freestyle mode, but the racing in CM2K1 is a lot more exciting and if I wanted to do spectacular tricks and stunts I'd just play "Dave Mirra" or "Tony Hawk 2."
75 Daily Radar
With one nagging exception, there's really pretty little wrong with the game, but it doesn't exactly push any boundaries either.
75 GameSpot
A solid game that's fun to watch, but it's no longer the only game in town.
65 GameZone
A diluted product that isn't excellent in any regard...which, though it has its moments, is how Championship Motocross 2001 ends up feeling.
64 IGN
Carmichael's racing engine is smooth and playable, but very basic, and the schizophrenic difficulty level frequently kills the game right when you're in a good groove.
46 Da Gameboyz
Mediocre.
