Like the original release, this BMX stunt-riding sequel was developed by Z-Axis and features world champion rider Dave "Miracle Boy" Mirra as its front man. 2000 X Games champion Ryan Nyquist returns in this second edition as well, along with other big-name professional riders, and players will once again have the option of creating their own custom BMXer. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 features eight new environments to ride and trick through, each up to four times as large as those in the original game. A level editor is also included to allow players to build their own challenges. Ten multiplayer games are available for head-to-head competition, including a "bikathalon" mode that combines the other games into one comprehensive event.
