Motocross Madness 2

I have never driven a motorcycle on my own, and I am not a motor cross fan. Regardless, the graphics and action of this game appealed to me. I found myself enthralled with this game for hours on end. The game play is very addictive.95

Like I have just detailed, I love this game, and recommend it to anyone who even likes motocross just a TINY bit! This game is sure to get you addicted! Just remember, you have to have a Direct3D compatible 3-D Accelerator card (not FULL 3D) to get all you can out of this game.

Motocross Madness fût à son époque le meilleur titre du genre et son petit frère reprend aisément le flambeau. Avec ses graphismes et son gameplay époustouflants, il laisse tous ses concurrents sur la ligne de départ :).

De adrenalinerush van deze zomer! Motorcross Madness 2 bezorgt gamers zowel de kicks als de fun!

Fun, fun en nog eens fun, daar draait het om in deze gelikte, uitdagende, uitgebreide en compleet maffe Motocross Madness 2. Met realisme heeft dit niks te maken, met ijzersterke gameplay echter alles.

Motocross Madness 2 isn't the most realistic motorcycle simulation you can buy, but it's definitely one of the most enjoyable. The game's got a little something for everyone - and with a modest sticker price of around $35, it's also one that just about anyone can afford. If your system can run it, you'd do well to head out to grab a copy. You won't be sorry you did.

Motocross Madness 2 is a big improvement on the original game - more game modes, more tracks, better tracks, better graphics and better sound. It's still fun and simple to play but those with the inclination can spend the time to master it. Everything from measuring your jumps to learning the best turns in a situation can make a world of difference in your play. MCM2 is fun enough for the mainstream gamer but has enough skill and challenge involved to gather a hardcore following.

If you are a first timer to Motocross Madness then you will fall in love with the game and be playing until the wee hours of the morning. If you’re a return customer you will be overcome with joy with all the new little tweaks to the graphics and tracks. But you will bow down and thank the Moto gods when you see the new Enduro section that has you racing in some very interesting places and using some cool objects to get major air. All in all it is a strong second showing for the Motocross Madness family, so we will give it a score of 86/100. It would have scored higher but I was a little disappointed with uniforms for the riders and the bike tweak section seemed a little flat to me. So what are you waiting for? Grab some cash, get the game, and come home and get muddy.

Wenn mit Plastik gepanzerte Querfeldeinraser auf lärmenden Enduros heimische Wälder und Fluren durchpflügen, dreht sich umweltbewussten Mitmenschen der Magen um. Bei Motocross Madness 2 dürfen Sie Ihrer Lust auf Öl, Benzin und Schlamm mit blütenreinem ökologischen Gewissen frönen. Mit heulenden Motoren biegen die knallbunten Offroad-Maschinen auf die Zielgerade ein und rasen mit Vollgas über die steile Sprungschanze. Die wagemutigen Zweirad-Artisten schweben anmutig durch die abgasgeschwängerte Luft der Motocross-Arena und vollführen die kompliziertesten Verrenkungen auf ihren Feuerstühlen.

So, MM2 is much like its predecessor - a tough arcade racer, offering plenty of thrills and spills and a fair old challenge too. It's a lot of fun and exceptionally easy on the eye but the fact that two of the four main race modes aren't that well-suited to the basic engine does weaken the overall package. Don't get me wrong, it is polished and playable, and unquestionably a very good game - it's just that it falls short of the standard of greatness that Microsoft set for their Madness franchise with Midtown.

The reason why I hadn't written a single word is Microsoft's newly born game Motocross Madness 2 (inventing original titles i really hard :). This game blows you right off yer feet from the instant you start the first event. Everything on this title is smooth, from the installation screen to the ingame trees. And no, Microsoft didn't give me a very high fee to make a positive review (sigh) on this title.

Verzorgde en toegankelijke motorsim. Het is wellicht niet het meest boeiende game en er zijn hier en daar nog een paar verbeteringen mogelijk, maar het is nog altijd veruit het beste in zijn ondervertegenwoordigde genre.

Microsoft hat den Hauptkritikpunkt am ersten Motocross Madness gründlich ausgemerzt: Die Landschaften sind jetzt vollgestopft mit Vegetation, Gebäuden und Fahrzeugen. Dadurch verschiebt sich der Schwerpunkt des Spiels gewaltig – die Wettrennen werden zum Hindernisparcour, statt Stunts ist Ausweichen angesagt. Mir macht das Düsen durch die schicken Szenarien aber einen Heidenspaß. Einen guten Orientierungssinn sollten Sie allerdings schon haben, um sich auf den weitläufigen Strecken nicht heillos zu verfahren. Die empfindliche Steuerung benötigt außerdem einige Einarbeitungszeit. Mir hat das aber den Spaß nicht verdorben – Tempo und spektakuläre Stunts machen einfach zu viel Laune.

As it stands, Motocross Madness 2 is a high quality racing game for the Motocross fan. People who like regular car racing games should also give this title a try -- they may just be surprised by the gameplay and sport of motocross racing!

Высокий полет аркадной души. Красота на грани возможного. Звезда первой величины, несмотря на свою многостороннюю вторичность. Сезон добровольной мобилизации в армию поклонников открыт.

Mission réussie pour Microsoft et Rainbow Studios, qui, non contents de décourager la concurrence, nous servent une suite supérieure en tout point à son aîné. Ergonomie, moteur graphique, cascades, figures, les améliorations de Motocross Madness 2 sont sensibles à tous les niveaux. Seul le concept d'origine reste inchangé : jouer au super-biker tout terrain sans se prendre la tête. Capable aussi bien d'amuser le fan que l'allergique notoire à la moto, Motocross Madness 2 conforte sa position de leader dans sa catégorie.

Aufgrund der angesprochenen Mankos kommt bei manchem Spielertyp schnell Langeweile oder Frustgefühl auf. Da kann noch so sehr am Beiwerk geschmückt werden. Vielleicht eignen sich Motocrossrennen einfach nicht für Computerspiel-Umsetzungen. Oder man müßte noch einmal am Fahrverhalten arbeiten. In diesem Fall wäre weniger Tempo (weniger Flugangst) gleich mehr Spaß.

So there you have it. Motocross Madness 2 offers some fairly intense, and highly challenging, racing action. With a wide variety of events, and a career mode encompassing them all, there is definitely some good replay value to this game. The graphics are good, even on systems like mine, which are "graphics card challenged." Music would have been nice; a distraction for the player, to take his ears away from the engine drone, but this is easily fixed by popping in our own CDs. Overall, a solid racing game… at the Gamer’s Pulse motocross arena this weekend on Sunday, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! (sorry, I couldn't resist doing it one last time).

The true strength of this game is that it is very much like a console title, in that it is a natural fit to have a bunch of people crowd around your PC to compete. Few PC games do that. But Motorcross Madness 2 will have you and a group of your closest shmack-talkin friends yelling such prized phrases as “Damn! That’s gotta hurt!” and “OOOuch! He shouldn’t have a head right now.” Or the best one “He’d be so dead.” No, really? I don’t see why you can’t survive an 80-mile an hour airborne impact with a bus? Motocross Madness earns 3 1/2 GiN Gems. It offers group fun, something that few computer games can, as long as you have enough hardware to get the most of it.

We really wanted to like Motocross Madness 2, and in fact, we do. It's just that we wanted to like it more. It's a great-looking game, and the stunt and multiplayer features are enough to have us coming back. It's just that it lacks a truly compelling single-player mode, and game slowdowns required us to play the game at 640x480 in order to achieve some fluidity.
