Who thought bull riding would be a fun game?

User Rating: 5 | Pro Bull Riders: Out of the Chute PS2
I'm not sure what any publisher was thinking with this addition to video gaming culture. Bull riding is a sport that is relegated to ESPN 2 late night television not primetime and it is not surprising that a game based on such a sport is really just a bargain bin no nothing type game. There are two modes to the gameplay. First you can play as the bull which is simple really. You can sway the bull side to side and forward with the movement of the joystick in the same direction. To buck the bull it was easy as pressing a button. The idea in all this is trying to knock the rider off the bull in under 8 seconds and to be honest it isn't to difficult. The other side of the equation is being the rider. This isn't entirely exciting either as you simply try not to be bucked off the bull. This is a hodge podge of bad mechanics and uninteresting gameplay. Not particularly good game.
