Partnered early with Tony Hawk in Activision's influential "extreme sports" awakening, Mat Hoffman and his pro-BMX buddies return for more grinds, grabs, and glory in this PS2 sequel. The game is structured as a road trip that takes the BMXers across the country, stopping in eight large, interactive city areas along the way to show off their best moves. Each area features multi-tiered objectives, the more difficult challenges encouraging a return after characters have improved their skills. Players can learn to "tweak" basic manuals, grinds, and airs to create all new feats of BMX greatness. Characters can also perform flatland tricks in this sequel. A variety of mini-games are included, for both one and two players, and the Course Editor allows creative gamers to create their own challenging areas.
