Title: PREVIEWS: Dave Mirra BMX Challenge
Post by: Jonnyboy117 on August 13, 2007, 02:12:45 PM
After ditching an X-rated biking game years ago, Dave Mirra returns to gaming.

 BMX biker Dave Mirra has won more X-Games medals than any other athlete.  A long time ago, he also had a couple of BMX video games from Acclaim that were some of the best extreme sports games around.  Mirra's second game for PS2/GC/Xbox was compared favorably with the Tony Hawk skateboarding series.  When the third game took a raunchy turn, Mirra bailed, and history would prove him wise as the resulting BMX XXX was a disaster in every way.  Acclaim is now gone, but Crave Entertainment hopes to bring back the magic with a completely new game, Dave Mirra BMX Challenge.    


As the first BMX game for Wii, this one packs both racing and trick modes through a dozen levels.  Each level has two different race routes available.  Along with Mirra himself, you can create your own character through a customization process.  The Wii version is being outfitted with multiple control schemes involving both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.  This arcade-style take on extreme bicycling is a budget title (like all of Crave's games) and has been ported up from a PSP version, already released.

"...and has been ported up from a PSP version, already released."

Sounds like a winner...

Question: is this proof that Nintendo was wise to drop Left Field from 2nd party status?
