Rating: 10

Time with product: 4 Months

Strengths: Lots of tracks, lots of modes, lots of vehicles, custom soundtracks, lots of options, online multiplayer.

Weaknesses: Bad soundtrack, pre-loading takes a while to get used to, graphics could be better.

Summary: Yes, in my opinion it is the greatest dirt bike title of all time! Lots of tracks, lots of modes, lots of vehicles, custom soundtracks, lots of options, online multiplayer, good AI, sweet level designs, and a tough challenge.There really isn't much weaknesses to the game. I mean the soundtrack is kind of lame, but since there is customizable soundtracks, it kind of offsets the weakness. I did not like the pre-loading button being the same button you use to drive, but after a while you will get used to it. Well worth the full retail price. Rainbow Studios sure knows how to make a great offroad racing game. It even combines two different vehicles (ATV & MX) and still is a playable game. Even if you dont like racing games, I think you would like this game, give it a chance! I can't wait for the sequel on the X-Box 360!

Strengths: Sublime racing

Weaknesses: Environments are a little bland

Summary: This is a great game for just kicking back, setting the custom soundtrack and riding. The graphics look great in 1080i and the excellent physics make it fun to just drive around and see what's possible as well as race. The only negative is that the levels are pretty sparse.
