SSX Tricky on Dirt it ain't.

I got this game the first chance I got, plunked it in and started to play.

And I got my [behind] whupped.

I chalked that up to me needing to learn the system. So, I kept on Circuit mode. And I got my [behind] whupped again. And again. And again. I was getting better - landing the jumps, doing the tricks, but damn, the AI was just so cheap, and seemed to have better bikes, better speed, better everything. I kept getting beaten, and not just by a hair. I'm talking last place finishes. Frustration started to set it. It was firmly entrenched 5 days later after countless attempts to beat the second race in circuit mode. THE SECOND RACE!

My point is, Freekstyle is a solid racing game seriously dogged by overly tough AI. The courses, tho cool, are not up to the level of SSX design, and they get old fast, especially considering each heat of a race is three laps, and each race has three heats. That's nine laps per race, people. The tricks are cool, but without the ability to flip and turn, coupled with the fact that it takes much longer to pull off a trick here than in SSX (You need major air to get a double. You'll be lucky if you can pull a trip. Forget about a quad.), you're limited in what you can do in the air. And of course, you get penalized for repeating, but again, you'll exhaust the trick options pretty quickly in this game. And you need to land tricks to get boost, and you absolutely need boost to have a hope of placing in the top three. Throw in a good measure of lady luck and you just might finish first.

This game does have some neat shortcuts, but they're too few and far between, and what's more, they consist of things like a jump that lets you skip a turn in the track. There's nothing that takes you into a completely different part of the board from the track like in SSX and Tricky, save a mine shaft you can drive through in the first board.

Not that I hated the game. The graphics are sharp, the racers pretty cool (Mike Metzger is a goof. He's great.) and the trick animations are awesome. The music is also solid if you're into the New Metal sorta thing. Seems to go with the dirtbike theme well. However, none of these were able to compensate for my frustration with the AI and somewhat bland level design, and I wound up taking this game back and going back to SSX Tricky, which I've been playing somewhat religiously for half a year now and still get a tremendous kick out of.

Bottom line, if you're a bike game nut, and you're good at it, this game's probably for you. If so, please buy it and each time you win, give the computer racers the finger for me.

Great racing game with a lot of cool features

This is a great racing game, full of all the fast-paced, road-rash, in-your-face action that you would expect from a game like this. Choose from a lot of different players (each with their own form of trash talk) and a lot of different bikes, and go for it.

Even better (I think) than the races are the versus courses, the trick tracks where your objective is to do as many tricks as possible. The one with the unfinished house is great, and you can just imagine a band of hoodlums wreaking havoc on a construction crew's labors. This game is all-around fun.

Annoying to restart over and over

This game is a great game and all but it can get very annoying for example when you do a trick and he/she can't get their foot back on the bike on time or on Burn It Up (the track) boulders will come and if just a slight part of your bike hits the rock then you go flying. When you fall I think you go way to far and then if you were in 1st place youll be in 6th place (last). I pretty much agree with the amazon[.com] review. But it still has interesting coures but some tricks youll always need a boost to get to the other side and youll have to restart. But overall its an OKAY game. P.S. if you think I dont know anything about the game, I've played every stinkn level many, many times, all of the tracks have their own "twist" to them if you want to know.

[Extremely] Hard!

Don't expect to be playing the reincarnation of SSX Tricky here folks, this one is hard. Extremely hard. To the point of insanity hard. For example, level one alone is quite a challenge to make it through. The AI is downright ruthless and it took me nearly five hours to make it past this track, and that's saying something as I'm usually the type who can fly through any game out there. The track design, and speed is amazing. The motion blur is very very cool, and the jumps pack quite a punch but most of them are near impossible to land with the precision needed to do so. Crash once, and you may as well forget it and start all over unless you are the master of hidden areas then maybe you have a shot if the opponent doesn't boost it past you at the last second of the Main Event. And yes, you must place 1st on the third race of each track to make it to the next level. ARRRGH! SSX Tricky was so easy, but come on now EA, did you really think that boosting the difficulty to insane level would make this that much better?! And no, you cannot change the difficulty here. FRUSTRATING. I just hope to master this one at some point before I throw the game out the window.

For all you crazed fast paced race nuts out there this game rules!!! I can tell you one thing there is never a dull moment, a little hard to just move right through, but if it was'nt then it would really be boring. anyway! the graphics could use some tightening up,but it's bad as ... exciting and well worth it race nuts.The thing that really made me jump was the totally sick stunts,the massive air you get and the combinations of stunts you can pull off not to mention the non stop action, I have MX 2002, I tried MX Superfly not bad, but no different than MX 2002 don't waste the money still not bad but a little too stiff to corner and as slow and as boring Freekstyle blows it out of the water hands down!!!!!!!!!!

This Game Freekin' Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally, a motocross game that is fast and fun! it feels like you are going 200 mph! i've played all of the others and they were slow and ugly expecially the carmichael mx games. the graphics are rad, probably the best i've seen on my ps2. freeksytle was a blast from the start. the characters were funny - deegan rulez and leeann is hot!

go out and get your own copy or you will miss out on the best moto racing game ever!

Very Impressed

I loved this game.
It has lots of cool tricks and difficult tracks you have to complete in order to win other players, bikes and racing outfits. It isn't easy, but it is challenging if your up for it.
And the racers have funny comments to make for you to choose them. I have this game for my Nintendo Gamecube and I give it 5*'s ! :)
