    The racing style is fresh for newbies to the series like me, but the experience begins to deteriorate after a while. The learning curve is slow.

    Inexplicably Fun.

    Its light-hearted approach is suitable to that type of play and I imagine Motocross will find a good niche there because of its Saturday morning cartoon treatment of motorcycle racing.

    Sadly, the AI is very predictable, so after you've gotten the hang of the game, you'll have no trouble winning almost every race.

    A cluttered mess of a racer that bares very little resemblance to the game it follows...and definitely doesn't offer nearly as much fun.

    Fun for about an hour, and after that I doubt you'll ever pick it up again. [Apr 2002, p.146]

    The core gameplay is spoiled by a rare complaint for a racing game: it's just too darn fast.

    The basics of this game are fun. If you don't take the loops or the jumps higher, you will progress through the level pretty fast but youThe basics of this game are fun. If you don't take the loops or the jumps higher, you will progress through the level pretty fast but you won't gain any gas or nitro. To complete all three laps, you must have balance. Too bad this game's gravity is way overpowered, it takes out the fun and challenge of jumps. Even with nitro, going off a jump drops you to the ground way too fast. And the game against CPUs is just too easy. You don't even need to use the d-pad for the majority of levels, you just end up landing fine most of the time. Hammering nitros is usually enough to win the race.

    It is fun, but short lasted unless you have a friend to link up with. Then the actual route you take through the course will matter much more!    … Full Review »
