This game does not have the best graphix and it's not the most complex in it levels or backgrounds. Do you want a game that you and your friends play over and over again trying to get the fastest lap or the highest jump slipping and sliding through mud, stone, and caked-up dirt all over the world? This is your game. A great deal for those who just like it simple, engaging and fun!

When I first rented this game I had low expectations of it because of the new 2001 Carmichael which is a total disapointment. Unlike it's sequel this one is the best because the tracks are pretty close to real and the pop-in does not make you sick (unlike the 2001 version which is simple you could beat it in one day, that's if you didn't die of bordom!) Anyways, the game physics are top notch, the tricks are pretty wicked even though there isn't any points for doing the tricks. But hey it's a 1999 game. Anyways the A.I. in the game is top notch! If you're the kind of guy who likes to play easy games then play 2001 version. This one I actually had to use their "Practice" mode and it helped me alot. The game isn't hard to the point that the comp smokes you every race. You just have to learn to configure the bike to each course. Once you beat the 500cc class you get rewarded with a preview and "Mirror Mode" which is very nice, it gives the game more replay value. I'm still playing this game cause' it rocks both multi-player and single-player. In other words instead of going NEW for the 2001 which sucked. Go for the classics. (Even though the MX 2002 looks pretty hot when it comes out I'm jumpin for it.) To wrap this up BUY this game it might look simplistic but it's fun till' the 30th time you play it!
