The main part of the game is based on the career mode. The focus is in the game's eight levels, where you will complete a variety of level challenges along the way. The basic goals remain the same as last time, with the standard high-score, long-grind, and big-air challenges making a return. Each level has other BMX pro riders milling around, who lay down more complex and difficult tricks, which must be completed to advance. This enables you to become fully immersed in the game. |

| At
the end of the day, these tricks did exist in the previous
version,
so the riders in the levels are basically there to dress
things
up. Saying that, the levels are absolute whoppers and feature
a high standard of graphical detail, this is one of the main
areas where the PS2 improves things no end. Did I mention the music? Ozzy Osbourne, A Tribe Called Quest and Rage Against the Machine. It's all pretty standard stuff for this genre of game but we still love it, and it gets your pulse racing. The two-player mode offers many different options. For
example
there is a section where the object is basically to crash
and burn in the best way possible (we liked this). Unfortunately it's not all-good news, our version of the
game did have some glitches. | |||
| All in all this game is a good romp with decent looks, animation and a pumping soundtrack. There are a couple of small question marks over the playability at times, but if you're mad about BMX games it's a "must buy". 7.5 (all screen shots taken from X-Box version) | |||
