Couple notable areas
Graphics
Lots of hitching, in both gameplay and cut aways.
Gameplay for both Arena and mountainscape venues suffers in ill attempts to sustain not so breathtaking background detail that cause tremendous Nintendo like hitching and confuses the heck out of LCD TV attempts to control brightness....but overall the graphics were still pretty sick.
CPU
WAY too many dudes go straight through a 90 degree hairpin at full throttle. Don't get me wrong, I was able to advance a bit easier, but looks really funny.
Overall
Game's a lot of fun, especially in MX class on closed tracks. The freestyle mode is a bit bland. The lack of equipment licensing shows some budget issues and lack of support for the franchise as does the limited size and narrow genre playlist of double bass pedal metal...
It takes a while to get used to the physics, watching the track get "beat in" is cool, but random 90 degree endos in a rut are a bit much.
Get for a week have some fun, I’d recommend it
