Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX: Maximum Remix

The only title on the PlayStation that can keep me in front of my television for 12+ hours straight!

Even though a better BMX game—"Mat Hoffman’s Pro BMX"—has been released since the first Dave Mirra, the core gameplay of Mirra hasn’t been much improved, just expanded.

The game’s graphics seem tighter and less warpy than before, all making this a superior game to its predecessor. [Aug 2001, p.112]

What makes this game lose a little bit of its luster are the blurry graphics and the tendency to bog down in places.

It’s a repackaged version of the original. A few new levels aren’t enough to give this game a proper fun factor score – if you’ve played before, you’ll be disappointed.

Maximum Remix adds new frills, in fact quite a lot of them -- new levels, new music, new tricks, and new stat-tracking categories -- but it doesn't change anything about the game on a fundamental level.

It’s more of a half-assed sequel to an excellent game that only fans desperately in need of more Dave Mirra need to check out.
