4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good compared to most Console driven MX Games, December 7, 2001

By	T.A.S. "T.A.S." (The 951) - See all my reviews

First off...whoever wrote that this game has no big name riders is crazy. What about Mike Brown, Grant Langston, Jaime Dobb, Joel Smets, Frederic Bolley, and a lot more. Obviously you must not follow MX in depth.

To the game!
First impression was whoa, cool graphics. I liked the detail in the background and sky and how you're blinded by the sun if you race a late afternoon race. The controls are smooth but a little unrealistic. You can't crash out of bounds even if you hit the wall dead on at 50 mph!

The tricks are hard to do which I like. But they look a little loony. MX2002 has the tricks done a lot better. But the freestyle rounds are really cool and innovative.

The career mode is done well and is a great concept. It gives you the feel of a privateer.

2 Player action is great. Especially because you can stuff your opponent and take them out.

Overall I like this game. It's fun, has good graphics, can be played for a long time, and is better than most MX games that are out right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am Hooked, November 12, 2001

By	Joe Maycik (Louisiana) - See all my reviews

I don't play many games, but I do love to ride MX. My friend told me to buy MX 2002, so I went to the store to get it, but when I got there they had a demo of MX Rider playing so I decide to try it out first. Well along time later they made me get off, so others could get a chance and by that time I was hooked. This game is full of stuff and I mean full. It looks and feels great, the best yet.
