On the down side, the game doesn't seem to support analog throttle and
braking. The Y axis is used for front/rear balance.
It's NOT a sim. It IS fun. Give it a try.
You'll find rookies going full throttle around the tracks (crashing
horribly as a result), and the more experienced have discovered that
careful use of the brakes will improve laptimes significantly.
The track editor is simple to use, but limits you to basic SuperCross
tracks, however there is an addon for the track editor which will let
you make "Canyon" tracks. You can find it at FTP.RAINBO.COM.

snip-lots of good stuff
It is a blast, although I get motion sickness from sims, and this one really
is going to be tough on me. :-)
Just a quick review by me for now I guess as I'm on the way out the door.
I've ridden motocross bikes going back to 1981. My first bike was a Honda
XR80 (loved it). I eventually graduated to a Honda CR250. Motocross Madness
is definitely a sim, which also is a lot of fun. Real mototcross racing is
about the most fun I've ever had (with a machine) so fun=reality in this
case. This is the first mortorcycle game which actually gave me the feeling
I get being on a real bike. Jumps at high speed and full throttle ARE
exaggerated (choice by developers) but some self control with the throttle
can eliminate that. Otherwise, it has a great feel to it. I do wish the
controls were different, and a motorcycle (handlebars) controller would
really be sweet with MCM (anyone know of one?)
Tremendous graphics (smooth as hell), sound, and the seperate bike/rider
physics are something special.
I'm waiting for the full version to reach my door, and then some time to
really dive into it, but as of now, it sure seems like a sim to me in the
major areas of motocross racing. Luckily, the simulation of a crushed groin
area was left out.
