not even half of dave mirra, April 27, 2001
Reviewer: michael standeven from chicago, il USA
Its too bad this game is as bad as it is. I would have loved it if it were a clone of Dave Mirras BMX, but its not. This came out after Dave Mirras BMX and it should have been better. This game suffers a great deal with clipping (textures and walls become see through), the gameplay is slow, and the control is hard to manuver. When you turn, it turn more and further than you want it to go. The camera is very choppy and does not help you see what is in front of you. The animation is very stiff and unrealistic, even for a game. save your money and dont buy it. I love BMX and have been waiting for BMX games since Excitebike and I guess there always has to be a few games that come out only to get a quick buck, this is one of them.
Not good..., April 5, 2001
Reviewer: A gamer from Seattle
There were so many things which were disappointing about this game, it's hard to know where to start. For beginners, the camera made me nauseous and much of the time you couldn't see where you were going. The graphics were sub-par, with big chunks of the world like sidewalks and walls flickering on and off. The motions of the riders looks really stiff and unnatural. The control is wonky, and doesn't feel like you're riding a bike. For example he speeds up without pedaling! Also the number of tricks pales in comparison to Mirra BMX and Tony Hawk.
Probably the Best BMX Game Out There, March 26, 2001
Reviewer: Switchblade from Florida
I bought TJ Lavin's Ultimate BMX game the second day it came out, and I love it. It is so addictive. You can play as 10 different riders, including TJ Lavin, Fuzzy Hall, Matt Beringer, and 7 others. The game tests you in 3 levels, in dirt, vert, and street. You can even compete on TJ Lavin's famous backyard jumps, the same jumps that MTV used for the Sports and Music Festival two years ago. With over 50 different tricks to try, you never run out of combinations. The graphics are the best I've seen from a BMX game yet. So do yourself a favor, and go pick this game up, but always rent before buying, but if you bought and didn't rent it first, I think you'll be alright, after all, this is the best BMXing game.
this game bites, March 25, 2001
Reviewer: Mclaren880 from Beverly Hills, MI
this game is terrible, it's not even worth the money to rent it. Tony Hawk 2 is SOOOOOOOOOO much better. Even the MAtt Hofman demo in Tony hawk 2 is 10,000 times better. this game is awful, if you really want to get a BMX game, get Dave Mirra, and even that isn't that great of a game. the only reason i gave this game 2 stars, is because only games like that star the olsen twins deserver 1 star.
