OK! Start kicking and let's get those bikes up and goin'! Talk about one fantastic game. This game has it all for the motocross aficionado, everything from racing to 25 daring stunts and tricks. It also has three bike classes and four event types. You can tinker with the motor, suspension, brakes (not that anyone uses brakes) and chassis with 16, count 'em, 16 levels of upgrades to make your bike handle, run, turn, and stop better. There are 3 different game modes that you can choose from and a fast paced soundtrack that's sure to get your heart pounding! PLUS there are hidden tracks, bikes and riders that  are revealed as you progress in the game. 

This sounds like a lot, but there's more! Oh yes there IS more, like non-repetitive character motion that makes sure no two crashes are the same, a comprehensive replay system that lets you capture your coolest moves and post them on the web, and last but certainly not least for the serious gamer, there is support for up to eight players over the internet! 

Motocross Mania does have a bit of violence in it, but nothing extreme. The system requirements could be a problem because it does require 500 MB of hard drive space, but it's worth the space! Now let me tell ya, if you are seriously into motocross or just a rookie fan, this is the game to play!
