This review is from: Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2: Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Paperback)

I bought this strategy guide assuming it would contain walkthroughs of every level and strategies for each level. However, this book does not truly contain walkthroughs. Sure it tells you where the items are and a helpful little snippet for each proquest stunt (its in the back of the book not with the level maps), but it is still far from a walkthrough. Also the maps don't look very professional and neither does the layout of the book. However, it does have its strong points and did show me how to get all the gaps. But it is not the most useful book ever.

Hint (not in book): The strat guide does not tell you the cheap way to get off 4-100 trick combo's. Simply do a nose manual, and then jump (x button) and then do another nose manual before you land. Rinse and repeat as wanted and you've got a cheap combo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish my girlfriend would take a break from playing it!, March 19, 2003

Complex levels, challenging tricks and very very diverse in overall gaming experience or opportunities here. Much better than the x-rated version of this game. This will be a classic for a long time and much kudos to its makers for being as thoughtful as they were in its creation!
