Anyone remember Motocross Madness 2?

Well let me start by saying this is NO MM2. I can remember playing hours just jumping, hill climbing, and doing stunts in MM2 and it was great fun. Some of Fuel reminds me of those days except the feel of the bikes. Now the cars feel ok as far as how they handle although each one does feel alot like the car you had before, maybe they get better as I get farther in. Still have a few cars left to get. The bikes need some work! there is really no rider influence on the bike.. no pre-load before a jump... and the lean forward and back are so slight that you cant man handle it. Yes you can make the bike lean in mid air but not enought. Back too MM2 you could lean forward and launch yourself up for a higher jump or cliff side. It just felt alot better mechanics in MM2 which is sad for a old game to out do a new one. I do have to say if you have the game and you have not gone to Mt. Rainier you should!... that was an interesting experience... very big you get the feel that you are really climbing up a mountain! I live near Mt Rainier and while it looks like it from a distance it lacks one thing in game.. TREES... but it is huge it took me at least 45 minutes to weave around the mountian to get to the top.

The worse part of the game for me is I have to play it in win 98 compatibility mode!~!! another mark against it. Maybe its time to upgrade my computer but at least I can play without huge graphics glitches but the frame rates chop in that mode.
