Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2

Stick with it, however, and what you have is a graphically wonderful action-fest that borrows the best bits from Tony Hawk's and SSX and combines them to produce a competent game that cheerfully fills a rainy winter afternoon. The soundtrack is among the best for the PlayStation 2--there's no techno-rubbish here, just steady metal from the likes of GodSmack, Ozzy and The Cult. Graphically, there are some nice touches: the playing environments are large and well designed and there's no clipping. If there's one thing that spoils the overall look it's the fact that the riders have pale, lifeless faces which make them look like extras from Dawn of the Dead.

Overall, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 has a lot going for it; it's not as fast paced as SSX and it doesn't have the instant appeal of Tony Hawk's, but it's certainly chock full of quality entertainment. --Chris Russell

I bought this for the youngster but paid under a tenner when it was on offer on Amazon earlier this year and it is OK.

It isn't the best but it isn't the worst - it's simple enough and worth buying. Well, certainly worth the tenner but I can't say whether I would have paid much more for it. I can say I wouldn't pay 38 though.

great game,but there are some let downs. the graphics are great for an early ps2 game and there are some brilliant signature moves like the flair but my personal favorite the bar-spin backflip,also you can create a park.This game is good but my let down was that there was no create a rider,i think everyone loves 2 create a rider,hopefully there will be dave mirra's 3 and hopefully you can create riders.this game is definitly worth getting thats if you like exterme sports!

Dave Mirra is a very enjoyable bmxing game. There are many parks and challenges to keep going at and the parks themselves are enormous. The graphics are good but not quite at the standards of most other ps2 games. One anoyance is that you can fall or see through walls when you go too near them which can make you lose your view or even end up somewhere different. This is, however a very good game and I would recomend it to most types of gamers.

It is a good game with lots to do, but there are faults with it like sometimes you can fall through walls and end up somewhere else on the level. Very good game though, with lots to do. The graphics are good, but not as good as some other PS2 games. still worth buying though.
