Product Description:
See what a spiderman looks like with no hands, no feet and no bar spin! Featuring the top 14 BMX pros, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX2 lets you create more than 1,500 pro signature freestyle tricks that you've only imagined. A trick modifier and S.I.K. system easily maps the rider's motions from one trick to the next, so the transitions are smoother than ever before. 3000 polygons show minute details, like the bike's individual spokes and even the color of the rider's eyes. Made in USA.
Amazon.com Review:
The first BMX game out of the gates for the PS2 is Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2, developed by Z-Axis. Like any extreme sports game, the key here is the trick system, and this one is incredibly deep with more than 1,500 tricks to perform. Basic tricks are easy to execute and can be modified with an additional button-and-direction combo. Unfortunately, these trick modifiers aren't always responsive.
The game's modes are Session, Free Ride, Park Editor, and ProQuest. Session is a timed run on any of the game's levels. Free Ride lets you nail the game's timing and become familiar with its courses. The extensive Park Editor lets you design your own levels. The meat of the game is in ProQuest, which has two submodes: competition and challenges. The ultimate goal is to win enough competitions to become the king of freestyle BMX. The challenges help you earn 'respect,' which can be used to upgrade your gear.
The game's excellent soundtrack includes songs from Fenix TX, Ozzy Osbourne, and A Tribe Called Quest--three acts few in their wildest dreams envisioned together. The game's addictive gameplay is marred by several programming glitches, the most annoying of which is haphazard respawning. After crashing, the game often places you in positions where you'll instantly wipeout or appear inside an object. Polygons sometimes appear on the screen for no apparent reason and the frame rate slows down at times. Still, this is a very addictive game that will have no competition until Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 is released. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros: - Addictive gameplay
- Improved graphics and larger levels than the original
- Basic tricks are easy to pull off
Cons: - Respawning can be frustrating
- Trick modifiers can be fickle
- Graphics glitches such as pop-up, slowdown, and poor collision detection
Amazon.com Product Description:
Customization is key in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2. In this release, players can create their own riders (or ride as BMX champ Dave Mirra, Ryan Nyquist, and others in an impressive posse of BMX pros), choose their own sponsors, and even design their own parks in which to complete a variety of challenges. As players progress through the game, they'll earn the respect of fellow riders. The ultimate, though, is to unseat Mirra himself as king of the BMX hill.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 also supports up to 12 players and features 10 multiplayer games, including an extreme bikathalon competition. Also, the release includes eight additional game levels, and they're four times beefier than before. Tear and trick through a total of 11 levels with this edition. The game is completed by integrated traffic, including moving cars, trains, trucks, and even other riders and pedestrians.
The open trick system in Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 holds more than 1,500 tricks and signature moves--many of them motion captured off Mirra himself. And a fitting soundtrack accompanies the game, featuring cuts from Ozzy Osbourne, Methods of Mayhem, the Cult, Godsmack, and others.

Rating:  - Great game
(40+ year old) I have spent many hours playing this game alone and with my kids. There are many multiplayer game types that keep it interesting for different player skill levels in multiplayer. One that an expert can play with a novice (little daughter) is getting points for worst crash - which is fun. Soundtrack has great songs could use a few more for variety but no huge deal. Some levels have rediculously hard challenges (grinding 6 railings where you have to land a jump between each is too hard) ... Read More
Rating:  - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, this game is great! Don't you just like love games that make you so frustrated you wanna snap your controler?! And the controls..uh..I mean, who wouldn't want a system that makes it impossible to take tight turns, or get speed, go easily turn from backwards to forwards?
And, it's so cozy! The graphics look like my five year old brother drew them wth his crayons..reminds me of home..
I guess they had to horribly distort the faces of all the characterd and brandname bikes, or ... Read More
Rating: - Dave Mirra 2 In The Eyes Of A Pro Bmxer
First off i'd like to point out to you that i am a pro bmxer who takes the sport seriously, meaning i would then take this game seriously aswell. When Dave Mirra Freestyle Bmx came out for playstation, i can remember all the hot gossip it got and how great it was for its time, and dare i say better then the tony hawks series, however with this game released today it just doesn't seem to be as good for its time as much as the original was.
Graphically Dave Mirra 2 is a vast improvement from ... Read More
Rating: - A great disappointment from the makers of Dave Mirra...
I bought this game expecting another great BMX hit from the makers of the original Dave Mirra for ps1. Good god was I wrong. This game is probably one of the worst sports games I have EVER played. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because of the somewhat enterataing levels, the funny as hell bails when you bail your bike mid-air, and the medeocre soundtrack.
Graphics - God aweful. Sketchy and contorted to look like a 5 year old drew them with the crayon in his mouth. The brand-name bikes ... Read More
