Thanx for the info Tim. I heard that Motocross Madness 2 was better but I wanted to hear it from one or some of the RAS Gurus!! <Grin> Cheers Thom_j. "Tim O" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Not only is motocross madness 2 the better game...it's one of the great (at least in this group) overlooked racing gems out there. I know that as a "sim" newsgroup, it's natural that there is extra focus here on a game's realism....but if you are willing to try a game and judge it by its quality, playability, expandability and just plain fun...both online and off...I think you'll find that mcm2 is a great bargain and one that really strikes the right balance between realism, challenge, graphical quality, and replayability. And there are still 200+ people racing it online daily on Microsoft's Zone and probably now thousands of user made tracks to check out. By all means...get it!

MCM2 is one of my top 3 racing games of any kind. Its more fun than GPL or Nascar Heat ,and has a near perfect balance between arcade and sim qualities. Being able to make your own tracks makes it even more special, riding around in enviroments you have created. It's one of the greatest videogames ever made. Also, if you like MCM2 then you will also love ATV FURY on the Playstation 2. itazura <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ac870db$0$12829$[email hidden]... > Not only is motocross madness 2 the better game...it's one of the great(at > least in this group) overlooked racing gems out there.
