Jeremy McGrath may be the King of Supercross, but he's got some catching up to do if he wants to be the motocross video game champ. Being an avid motocross rider and fan, I'm a tough critic of motocross games. I want a motocross game to capture a glimpse of the thrill of riding a real dirt bike. In my quest for that rainy-day thrill, I'v bought about every motocross game for every system starting with my old Commodore 64! But on to the modern era... Supercross '98 for playstation was a real disappointment to me. I bought it, and soon went back to playing Motoracer. A few years later, after being mildly disappointed in EA's Supercross 2000, I was hoping Jeremy's new game would capture the excitement of motocross the way I knew a game could. It's better than the original, but hey- that's not saying much. I gave it 4 stars only because I'm a motocross junkie and it's a motocross game. Purely as a game, it's a 3. First off, the graphics look more like pixelated playstation graphics than N64 polygons. If you choose a close-up view, the graphics look better, but you can't see down the track far enough. Acclaim could have done better. It's tough to get the "big air" sensation on this game, even on the stunt course. There's just no amplitude. I was also really frustrated that I couldn't pull a trick and hold it. No matter how long you hold the trick button, the rider goes through quick motions. I will say that the turning is light years better than EA Sports Supercross 2000. The 4 player mode is cool, but it's a bit slow and chunky without an expansion pack. I liked being able to create my own rider with my own number on the bike and jersey. I also liked being able to race the outdoor Nationals, not just Supercross. The track editor is nice if you've got the time to design tracks. It gives the game more replay value. Overall, I'm still waiting for THE motocross game to come out for N64. Something more like Motocross Madness for PC (the real moto-game champ). In the meantime, Jeremy's game will do. It's adequately fun, and it IS a motocross game. But Jeremy, if you're reading this, next year give us a game we can LOVE!

Skip This game and proceed directly to Excite Bike 64

I bought this game side-by-side with Excite Bike 64, and it DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE to the quality. The rider physics are pathetic, the gameplay is harsh, rigid, and offers not a single glimpse of the reality of jumping/riding/winning. I love supercross, and this game will let you down for sure. If you want great color, sound, gameplay, realism, controlablity, track-editing... get ExciteBike 64 instead. I haven't touched this game since the first few days I owned it.

Okay....

This game is okay, Excite bike is more realistic and more enjoyable. The upside to this game is that it is easier to play than excite bike, it does the turns for you (meaning you don't have to push any extra buttons) and it is easier to do the stunts so my 7 year old enjoys it and she also likes customizing her own rider and naming them. If you looking for just one motorcross game to buy go with the excite bike.

AWSOME

This game is the best. you can build your own rider or your own track. I even think they came up with tony hawks pro skater from this game. if you want an awsome game this is for you. It can even be set from easy to expert which means even youngsters can enjoy. and if you think this game is awsome wait til you play exitebike64 which is even greater with graphics and with gameplay.

cool game
