Just returning from E3 today, the Video Game expo, I saw every game under the sun, from Tony Hawk 3, and Mafia to all the Game Boy Advanced stuff, as well as the new Rogue Spear and SOF II. But time and time again my friends and I would return to the Playstation booth to play MX 2002. The game was just too much fun, whether going head to head or racing or doing tricks by yourself, it is a must have game for Ps2.

The graphics and sound are top notch, everything looks and sounds awesome. And the game play is super: tap the throttle and watch the riders rev up their bikes, kick your foot out for a slide turn and jam on the gas to whip around turns and avoid bailing out over the hay bales, the game is super responsive and controllable, your skill will make a difference.

And when you get some big air, you can do a few button combos to pull huge tricks, flips, superman, almost any motocross tricks you can think of, you can do them on MX 2002.

I've barely scratched the surface of what you can do with this game, but after spending a half an hour playing it, I'm certain it will be a best seller.

Make this your first game for the PS2 and you won't be dissapointed!

Out of the three Motocross games available for the PS2, MX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael is by far the best. You've got all the big names (except for McGrath of course) and the graphics are great. Granted the stunts you are able to pull off in freestyle are pretty unrealistic (double & triple backflips, as well as a frenzy of multiple tricks in one jump attempt) but they add to the fun of the game. There are just a few minor things I don't particulary like about the game: 1) You can't race in a career as one of the real-life riders, you have to create your own dude, which is cool don't get me wrong, I'm just pretty picky when it comes to video games. 2) If you create a rider there's no first and last name slots, which means if you've got a long name (like me) you're going to have to use a nickname or something cause there's only like 7 spaces for letters (like I said real minor stuff that nobody else but me probably cares about). All in all this game is a lot of fun and it's a million times better than the other two MX titles out right now in looks and gameplay. Especially that joke of Jeremy's and that's really too bad because I really don't care for Carmichael at all as a rider and McGrath's always been one of my favorites.

If you havent played ATV off road fury then make that your second game but for your firts game get MX 2002 it has awsome graphics and a great game mode. If your a person who likes to just go cruse around Then you have lots of places to go and explore, but if you like to just go pull off sick tricks Then go straight to the stunt arena or the step up challanges, Of course you cant always go race with the other pros. Well I cant say much more besides you have to get this game or at least rent it when it comes out, So if you get this game you will not be mad that you got it.

if you have not bought any ps2 games i think this should be your first. It has great gameplay modes and 30 different riders not to mention that you can be yourself in carrer mode and become a pro. So if you are looking for a fun game you should buy MX 2002.

I have this game it is one of the most fun games out there for PS2. It has a very responsive gameplay system which lets you pull off the un-thinkable! Such as double hart breakers(double backflip) and front flips(suicide flips)! Also you are able to do 180's 360's 540's and 720's! This game is a must buy the courses are insane and freestyle is stupendous! And also it has little simularities to the atv game and yes i do own it and the simularities are not to simularities.

If you like ATV Offroad Fury then you will love this game. It is very smooth.

I played the demo of this game in the Summer Underground Jampack.Although I stink at racing and dislike racing mode,freestyle is great.You press R2 or L2 plus X,O,triangle and square to make different tricks.Pressing or holding in different sequences makes your rider do better tricks.I have always loved watching BMX on TV but this is just as good.It is one of the best games for PS2.

What's this?A motocross game that's actually respectable?Yeah,i'm shocked too.But that's what MX2002 is.It's not the prettiest game,the music is far too repetitive,and the bike's engine still doesn't sound like it's reacting correctly to the throttle.But on the up side we have an excellent create a biker mode,some wonderful tutorials,and some surprisingly good control.In fact i'd hazard to say that i like the jumping physics of MX2002 just as much as ATV;s learning ti load the suspension and then pop the clutch on a landing shaves seconds off your lap time.Now if only the riders didn't look as stiff as Viagra wverdose victims,i'd be happy.
