E3 '07: Dave Mirra BMX Challenge Hands-On

I agree CAMPJILLJER, I ride BMX and Dave Mirra totally fails to capture the spirit of bmx cos it just plane sucks. The other games werre clunky and just annoying and frustrating. I'll reserve judgement on this until it out, but I have absolutely NO expectations.

ehhh, dave mirra's games aren't very good. and im a little skeptical about the controls. i think this is just gonna be another sponser-filled bmx game with clunky controls and long loading screens. anyone agree?

matt hoffman's pro bmx was pretty good IMO. hopefully this'll be just as good. although i dont like the fact that r using wut is essentially the same graphics engine as the psp version (i know that graphics dont make the game, and i believe fully on that, i just dont wanna pay more $$$ for the same game with waggle controls...but who knows)

A wii remote could be ideal for controlling a bike, as long as they get the sensitivity right. If it's too sensitive or not quite sensitive enough, it could destroy the entire experience.

The PS1 versions were good but as they havent updated the gameplay then why play was is basically a 13 year old title?

People are comparing this to the Tony Hawk games, but they don't empress me much. There were a couple great sk8 games released on the PS2 way back when, but nothing I have seen thats too special. Hopefully this game rocks though.

as a bmx rider it annoys me that dave mirra is constantly selling his name to a crap game i bought bmx xxx only because it was a bmx game and as a game it sucked big time i just wish there was a great bmx game to do justice to the sport

I used to play Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX 2 all the time for the Xbox. I loved that game so much.

BMX games havent reli stood up 2 the Tony Hawks games .. so this one may not be that well either. personally i think u can't do as many tricks on a bike as you can on a sk8board. the racing might be nice but not enuf 2 make me buy it...

i dont understand how theyre gonna shoehorn all the tricks in with the wimote. i personally have doubts about this as a bmx game, the racing aspect makes sence, but ill have to be convinced about the tricks. i do in a way hope it does work, coz they may then consider making a bmx game for the ps3/360

"Hence" it being called a DEMO!!

I saw the demo for this, and the physics looked broken.

Sounds cool, but I've never been into the bike games, only the skate games.

Yeah, I think the controls would work out quite cool on Wii.

This should work well on the wii

how is this going to work on the wii

This kind of game just does not work IMHO.

I really don't know why they brought this series back from the grave...

The Wii controls should be interesting to play with.

I used to have BMX games.

well i bout bmx xxx for the game cube and i didnt like the game

Cool, I used to love riding my BMX....
