Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX (PC)

No, these are not bad babits, things you do with your teeth and moves made by footballers respectively, but moves you can make in Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX. During the early 80's, BMX's were THE cool bike to have. You could perform tricks and stunts on them due to their size and manouvreability. However, WE all grew up and became mountain bike owners. Well, most of us did. The culture lived on in certain parts of the world and the big names in the sport carried on too. One of these names was Dave Mirra. Dave must be late 20s if a day yet he still plies his trade on a bike that look 10 times too small for him. Really, he is a full ...  Read the complete review

When I first saw this game on the Playstation, I thought it was just a cheap Tony Hawk-on a bike game... And I was right. BUT......remember, Tony Hawks is a very good game and so is Dave Mirra. The graphics aren't very special, since this title is a direct port from the console version. The trees and surroundings are very blatantly textured (and these textures are not that pretty either!) and the shading of areas is sometimes misleading (i.e. the flatness of a wall/ramp). However, the music is off good quality - its kinda heavy rock/grind type stuff. Not my cup of tea, but it is good quality. The sound effects are decent, but not brilliant, although you ...  Read the complete review

Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is a really good game with excellent graphics. The game is just like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. You have to ride round as any charicter including Dave Mirra and complete certain tasks on each level such as, "grind 5 orange tractors" and lots of other tasks, it is not an easy game but it is good fun! Once you start getting through the levels and completing each of the tasks then you unlock new bikes to help improve the speed and weight of the bikes, You can also unlock new gear so that you get new sponsers and more money, and as you go along you unlock new levels filled with hundreds of different objects to interact ...  Read the complete review

All I can say about this is WHat a game. It is great for gamers who are lovers of the sport & for the people who can't stand it. Not only is the game HUGE, packed with Lots of easy to really challenging levels BUT you actually enjoy the HARD parts unlike most games. The harder challenges take time to achieve but you know deep down that they are possible instead of sticking the game in the draw to gather dust. It is a big YES YES from me to anyone who likes a cheallenging game. The one and only negative really about this game (which won't be a negative for everyone) is the annoying music. But hey you can turn that off, BRILLIANT. For people ...  Read the complete review

I'm quite surprised that nobody before me has written a review of this item. The engine to this game is rather weird, and many people on their first go would hate it, but after an hour or so, you get used to it, and it grows on you. You can perform almost any BMX trick in a wide range of levels. There are also leads of good two player games like who can do the best crash. For BMXers or non BMXers this is a good game. It also has the best game soundtrack ever including songs by: Cypress Hill, Sublime, Rancid, Social Distortion and many more. ...  Read the complete review
