Player's Review
"AMAZING REALISM Three totally new race meets - Quarry Racing, Dirt Biking, and Desert Riding - each with five exciting circuits. The burms, bumps and ramps really work. Fifteen incredible courses make this the biggest, best BMX game yet!"
The Sequel to BMX Simulator. This time it is bigger with fifteen tracks over three course types. Released on double cassette you might think this was a full proce game but at 4.99, it's still in the budget range. Tape one has the Standard edition on Side 1, and Expert on side two with both starting out on the dirt racing levels. Extra levels can be loaded in from Side 3 (Tape two) featuring Quarry levels and side four have dessert levels. If you play the standard version, you only get twelve levels (four of each) and no ending.
When loading the game, you have to choose between Standard or expert levels. You need to play Expert to play all tracks. The Standard version is the easiest using a fixed bike configuration and no collisions between bikers. The time limit might also be relaxed slightly. In the Expert game, you can choose to modify your bike with different tyres which changes between speed or cornering ability. You can also choose chain ring size for speed vs acceleration. I stick to the middle balanced options. On expert, you also get an addition fifth track on each terrain and the time limit is super and unfairly tight. Completing dessert five does award you with the champions cup.
Overall, a better game in every way than the previous release but it can still be frustrating to play within the time limits. The cpu players are good but they do make mistakes and even collide with each other in the expert game.
