Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX could be described as a complete knock off of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series in nearly every way, but that's not particularly bad, as there are far worse series to imitate. While the game is not original in any way, shape, or form, it still packs enough of a gaming wallop to entertain both fans of bike racing or newcomers to the extreme sports genre.

Mat Hoffman Pro BMX 2 is a BMX video game endorsed by Mat Hoffman and published by Activision. The game, which serves as a sequel to Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX, was released on August 12, 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Ports were released for Game Boy Advance and GameCube. You can also play SSX 2012 PC Game.

Gameplay is fairly simple. Attack nine different levels with as much gusto as possible while jumping, grinding, and tricking off of every available object in order to complete objectives and capture magazine covers which allow advancement to other levels. For those familiar with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the covers replace the videotapes in that game.

2. Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX is a BMX video game endorsed by Mat Hoffman and published by Activision. The first game to launch under Activision's short-lived Activision O2. In the rarefied world of BMX racing, Dave 'Miracle Boy' Mirra is a living legend in the extreme sports community.

Instead of entering a rigid contest against AI drones, you attack the level itself, choosing where to go and what to do with a sense of exploration and adventure. For a game of this type to be successful, the levels must be expansive and interesting, with plenty of different options, paths, and secrets to discover. While Pro BMX levels feel a bit like Tony Hawk B-Sides, they're compelling enough to hold interest, at least for a limited time. Unfortunately, the dirt portions added to the levels in the game, while aesthetically pleasing, don't feel much different than other surfaces.

The controls translate nicely from console to PC, especially if you use a game pad. Controls are very tight, and novice gamers should be able to grasp the basics fairly quickly. Mastering the many tricks is another matter entirely, but the learning curve is both forgiving and challenging -- a real pleasure.

Multiplayer options are, unfortunately, a bit weak. The games within the title are the same as those found in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and are fun and competitive as any veteran of that series will attest. Unfortunately, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX offers only hot-seat competition or LAN action, and the lack of an Internet component reduces the options considerably.

The host of different riders, bikes, and levels come together to create a cohesive package, and with the relative dearth of quality extreme sports games on the PC, the title is worthwhile. If you've played the game in console form, you won't find anything new here, but fans will find it undeniably fun.

Graphics: The polygons are smooth and the variety of textures decent, but it shows off its 32-bit console roots with its blocky demeanor. The animations are excellent with crisp, fluid movements.

Sound: The diverse and interesting soundtrack is better than the first Tony Hawk game. It mixes classic thrash and punk with some of the best contemporary hip-hop available, and each track seems to fit perfectly with gameplay. The sound effects are limited, but the focus is on the musical score.

Enjoyment: While the game offers no innovations, gameplay is enjoyable with plenty to do. Entertaining levels provide lots of action and the many choices of bikes and riders keep gameplay fresh.

Replay Value: Completing the game will take some time, but enjoyable gameplay makes it entertaining enough to make it a reachable goal. The lack of an Internet multiplayer option is disappointing, and limits the overall replay value.

They may be icons of the 70s and '80s respectively, but the skateboard and the BMX bike have never enjoyed a greater profile than they do today. With 200 channels of crap to fill, it's as easy as pie to stick a camera on some goatee-bearded mook as he flails about on a child's toy. Crank up the testosterone tunes and you've got yourself a programme. Videogames have definitely played a supporting role, and it's fair to say that the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series is nothing less then a phenomenon. The Hawkster may have been an idol to a generation of skate punks, but it's the game that brought him recognition among the unwashed masses.

Activision will be lucky to achieve a similar response with Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX, but they've followed a similar blueprint, beginning with the endorsement of a major exponent of the 'sport.' You'd probably step over him if he was face down in the gutter, but Mat 'The Condor' Hoffman is no less than ten-time World Vert Champion. We have to admit that's news to us, as we were led to believe that ten-time World Champion Dave Mirra was the main man when reviewing his Freestyle BMXsome months ago. We can only assume that 'vert' refers to the vertical ramps that proliferate the Hoffman game.

With that cleared up, it falls to us to inform you that Mat Hoffman's Pro BMXuses the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater engine. Considering we are now on the third Hawk game, it's not exactly cutting edge, but it's perfectly functional, as evinced by the success of that game.

And that's all you really need to know. It might sound lazy to call this Tony Hawk's on two wheels, but that's exactly what it is. It's all there, the tricks, the combinations, the random button pressing, the excruciating bails (falls) and the accompanying splash of blood. The format is identical, but instead of collecting videos, you are now required to earn magazine covers to open up further levels, of which there are eight including both a sewerage plant and an abandoned tube station. If that's not enough, you can design your own levels, using the 3D real-time park editor.

The music is an essential part of this type of game, and Hoffman doesn't disappoint, offering an eclectic mix of old, new, angry and chilled. Contemporary hiphop lurks alongside the likes of obscure '80s punk band, Bad Brains, and there's even an airing of the Stone Roses' classic Fool's Gold, the Grooverider mix, no less. It all adds up to a quality package, which probably won't change the world, but may well rock yours for a while.
