    A spectacular game, but you can’t help but think it could have been deeper.

    It may be a little too hard for some and the learning curve is definitely steep, but this is a game that's worth the effort.

    Offers a good amount of playability for anyone even remotely interested in motocross or racing games in general.

    The courses are twisted and the mud splatters nice and thick. [Dec 2001, p.95]

    Twisting the throttle and going may be fun in real life, but without a way to translate the handling of rhythm, body control, and other deeper elements of racing strategy, it's going to get old relatively quickly.
  6. PSX Nation

    It's got control and stunt/trick issues to contend with as well as a disregard for real-life sim physics, but the European flavor of the racing antics in "MX Rider" are definitely worth sampling.

    If you really get into the way the game handles you will find hours and hours worth of stuff to keep occupied thanks to the horde of gameplay modes and challenges to accomplish.
