Re: MOTOCROSS MADNESS 2 is awesome !!!

Sure it looks better but at the cost of fogging to hid pop up. I use to love the ability to see almost to the horizon in MCM1 but MCM2 adds fog and pop up. Ick. Loosay2 wrote:

If you like racing games of various kinds beyond just cars, then you must try this game. It's inexpensive at $35, and it gives you a great mixture of realism mixed with a bit of arcadishness, in a near perfect blend. The game has at least 40 different tracks, and a track editor is due for internet release shortly, so there will be lots of new tracks being created by the inventive minds out there in cyberland. I played it for about 8 hours yesterday and tonight , and I find it to be a definite improvement over the original version, which was one of the best racing games ever made. The graphics are among the very finest I have ever seen in a racing game, and the physics model is top notch while being somewhat forgiving. Get this game, and I think that most of you will like it.

I actually feel kind of lame for spending almost 7 hours on a Friday night playing online. The National and Supercross tracks are now MUCH closer to the real thing, and you can crash by casing (under-jumping) the doubles and triples. Excellent game. Tim

It'll draw ahead just as far as the first game, but it's drawing a lot more than the first game. Tim

it rocks !!!!! i love this game Loosay2 wrote:

Microsoft's Freestyle game pad, the one with the gyrometer in it. You tilt the pad to the left, and the bike turns left, tilt it backwards, and the biker leans back.

I'm pretty good with the keyboard (its not a bad control device for this game), but you can always tell when a guy who's good with a Freestyle Pro is running. They fly. I have the Logitech version sitting here, called the Extreme, but I'm having trouble getting used to it. I'll have to practice some offline Tim (Dual_Sporter on the Zone)

Or maybe the Logitech Wingman Extreme gamepad, which offers the same sort of "analog" mode you control by tilting the controller in any direction. According to, umm, I think it was a review in Computer Gaming World, it was about the same as the MS gamepad in analog mode, but had a better feel in regular D-Pad mode. ...Klinn "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:IvUY4.39$[email hidden]... > > The Microsoft FreeStyle Pro gamepad was clearly the best product for the > original MM, so I personally feel it would suit MM2 the best ;) It has > motion sensing where you can tilt the gamepad.

I'm using my Gravis XTerminator and it works GREAT. The analog pad is smooth and precise and there are plenty of buttons to map all the commands too.

I use a analog controller from Interact called the ULTRARACER PC. It is a hand held controler with a tiny rubber covered steering wheel or knob, and a trigger switch uderneath it serves as an analog brake and accelerator. It works great with this game and all other racing games, and it is compact compared to my racing wheel.

I used to use full sized flight stick for MCM1. When jumped and catching the ground, tilting stick was simulate tilting ones body very well. =) I once tried Freestyle game pad at a storefront, but It was felt too loose for me. Hmm, almost 2 years passed since the preceding one. I cannot wait to get the successor! Could somebody tell me any online shops that can deliver MCM2 for oversea? EB is refusing to sell it except for US customers... boo... =( Y.Minami Eric Fesler <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > So what is the best controller for this? definitely not a digital > gamepad...analog gamepad? full sized flight stick? mini joystick like > the old mach 3 (still have mine somewhere). > > Thanks, > E

For some strange reason, MS decided to include a 3 axis controller in the setup, but you cannot use the throttle/brake together in one (Z) axis. It's disappointing to me, since I use a modified USB thing that plugs into a Playstation controller. Gives me 3 axis, analog, with good control. Plus, you can also use the digital with all the buttons. Fun for games like NFS when you don't feel like dragging out the wheel.

I am using the MID for control in MCM2 and it is great. For those that don't know what it is the MID is a full size Motorcycle Control Device. I have a review of the MID on my website but the maker is not currently taking orders for them.

I use the keyboard and I think I kick ass, if I get a freestyle controller will I kick even more ass or is that just hype?
