Product Description

Platform: Nintendo 64

Product Description

Remember the last time that you dragged a foot peg through a super-tight turn, crested a steep hill at 12,000 RPMs, and then slid down the backside toward the finish neck-and-neck with the race favorite? Can't recall? Then add that memory to your gray matter with Supercross 2000.

EA Sports' exclusive license with PACE Motor Sports brings the immensely popular extreme sport of supercross racing to the Nintendo 64 with all of the muscle-jolting, dirt-flying fun of the real thing. Similar to motocross racing's cross-country, outdoor track competitions, supercross takes place inside stadiums on massive mounds of dirt. The action is exhausting, with slides, jumps, dips, and open-throttled runs to the finish.

In Supercross 2000, riders can progress through an entire season of racing, nail stunt after stunt in the freestyle jump-off mode, or challenge a friend in split-screen, head-to-head racing. Over 25 authentic supercross and freestyle riders--including Mike LaRocco and Jeff Emig--are available, as well as factory bikes such as the Honda CR, Suzuki RM, and Kawasaki KX.

The game pays careful attention to realistic physics, so players will virtually feel every dip, skid, and big-air jump. And as the dirt track shifts and moves into ruts and grooves beneath the riders' wheels, players must constantly make subtle adjustments to keep control. It's loud, fast--and memorable--stomach-churning fun. --Eric Twelker

GameSpot Review

Supercross and the Nintendo 64 haven't really gone hand in hand. Supercross fans looking for gaming goodness have been all but forced toward the PlayStation. EA Sports' Supercross 2000 strives to fill the gap with a heavily licensed endeavor. The game is broken up into two styles. The racing mode puts you on lots of different tracks, while the freestyle mode puts you in a large area populated with jumps, bowls, and other air-enablers. On paper, both modes look really cool, but the game's control really isn't up to snuff, and this takes a lot away from what otherwise would have been a pretty good game. The problems surface when you make turns. The game tries to make turning realistic, in that your rider will put his foot down if you jam the stick all the way to one side, but you never seem to turn with a tight enough radius to feel fully in control of your bike. Turning problems aside, the game features a pretty nice physics model, and the bikes buckle and bounce in a realistic fashion after big jumps. Graphically, the game looks a little boxy, especially the racers' legs and torsos, but everything runs at a good frame rate with or without the expansion pak, which lets you run in a higher resolution. It's a fair trade-off, as a lower frame rate at the expense of better-looking models would have hurt the gameplay quite a bit, especially in the two-player split-screen mode. The game's sound is every bit as annoying as real supercross races, complete with grinding, buzzing motors. The play-by-play is low on the personality meter, sticking strictly to calling out passes, tricks, and other semi-important events. If you're a fan of supercross, and you've been waiting for a good game to come along on the N64, Supercross 2000 is good enough as a first effort, but hopefully we'll see some control tweaks and some improved performance in the sound and graphics departments in the unannounced-but-you-know-EA-will-eventually-do-it sequel.--Jeff Gerstmann--Copyright © 1998 GameSpot Inc.

The graphics on this game are the best I have ever seen. The controlability is very easy. If you have kids they would love you for the rest of their lives. My kids never put it down.

At first the controls on the game are pretty difficult (even in beginner mode), but once you get used to it the game play is great. It took me about a day to get used to the controls and then I was able to quickly advance to the "pro" level. I found that controlling the bike was much easier with the control pad than the stick.

In the game itself the tracks are diverse and the graphics are very good (especially if you have the expansion pak).

I was surprised by the quality of the play-by-play commentary during the race. Given the limited space of the N64 cartridge format I have found that games leave something to be desired in this area. Supercross 2000 does a good job at provided a decently varied commentary.
