Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX uses a refined version of the game engine found in the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. The modes, menu, and trick system are identical. The main difference is that instead of skating around, performing tricks, and collecting videotapes, you're riding a bike, performing tricks, and collecting magazine covers. To accommodate the physics of bicycle tricks, the level design is different from THPS. Some of the levels are good, but most are relatively bland and aren't as clever as what we've seen before. Despite this flaw, it is the best BMX game currently on the market, but in the context of other extreme sports games it falls short. It's too similar to the original THPS and not as good as THPS2. Despite the fact that it's mostly derivative, the game has a few outstanding features. It contains lots of full-motion video sequences, albeit at the expense of load times. The real gem is the soundtrack, which is a nice mix of punk, electronica, hip-hop, and rock. It's definitely one of the best video game soundtracks ever. If you're looking for the best BMX game on the PlayStation, this is it. If you're a fan of extreme sports in general, you'd be better served with THPS2 or waiting for THPS3. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros: - Outstanding soundtrack
- Gamers familiar with the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series will feel right at home
- Plenty of full-motion video
Cons: - Long load times
- Mediocre level design
- Not enough enhancements from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Amazon.com Product Description
Tony Hawk fans, take notice! Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX uses an enhanced version of the same Neversoft engine that's used by nearly everyone's favorite extreme-sports series, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, which means it has a wide range ofmotion, excellent graphics, and hundreds of trick combos. The game features 10-time world vert champion Mat Hoffman and seven other top BMX Pros, as well as realistic BMX physics, two-player competitions, a course editor, and street, dirt, and vert tracks.

I love this game, it is totally awsome. My best friend I stayed up untill 5:00am trying to beat the game. I thought the Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX was money well spent. I recomend to everyone that is looking for a fun and challengeing game to play. It is just like the first Tony Hawk game.MAT HOFFMAN ROCKS !!!
 Blood splatters unacceptable and unnecessary!! September 24, 2003

My 6 1/2 year old son was so excited about getting this game, he talked about it constantly while we waited for it to be delivered. But when he started playing it, he was so disturbed by the blood splatters, he left the game in tears. We have so enjoyed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, we assumed this product was comparable. Since when are blood splatters OK for "Everyone" (the game is rated E)??? Tony Hawk, you should be ashamed to offer this game to young children. My son ended up very disappointed, and my husband and I were outraged.

The game is pretty much the same as tonyhawk proskater except for the fact thats it is bikes. although the game just dosent have that special something to make it a great game like the tony hawk pro skater series. although it is still fun to play every now and then.

This game is very good. The tricks are so real. When I bought this game I did not know it would be this great. When your going to hit a jump it seems like you really know what your doing in real life. This game stinks really bad.
