anyone actually played either xbox bmx game?

[erikistired]

i'm a big fan of the bmx games on the DC but i've read mixed reviews on both mat hoffman 2 and bmx xxx. i loved dave mirra 1 on the DC but wasn't too fond of dave mirra 2 on ps2. so has anyone played either of these games? i'd especially like to hear from fans of the genre, but even if you just played it at the mall i'd like to hear what you thought.

thanks.

I've played Mat Hoffman 2 on PS2. I enjoyed it. It's much like MH1 but a bit smoother and more tricks and stuff. It plays very much like Tony Hawk except the bike seems a bit clunker and you seem to have to finish up tricks a bit earlier (as you would expect with a bike rather than a skateboard). I thought the level design and goals were laid out pretty well and progression through the game worked out pretty good.

I haven't played any of the Mirra games, nor have I looked at BMX XXX yet (just a Mirra 2 clone basically, I think), so I can't give you a good comparison. I did like MH2, though.

bmx xxx is pretty much mirra 3, sans mirra. thanks for the review, mh2 is only 30 bucks, might just pick it up.

BMX XXX is pretty much the same Dave Mirra game except with adult content
