Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 GameCube

Familiar with the following terms? Elephant Pinky Squeak? Rolling Lung Spin? Rope-a-Roni? Steel Pole Bathtub? You must love your BMX, then. And your obscure American noisy rock types too. Elephant Pinky Squeak, Rolling Lung Spin and Rope-a-Roni are genuine BMX tricks - Steel Pole Bathtub didn't make it onto the soundtrack of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2, but the likes of Bad Brains, Fugazi and Suicidal Tendencies did - top marks to the pop pickers for this sequel. There's a lot of gameplay in Pro BMX 2, so let's get the wheels greased and see what's on offer. As far as single-player options are concerned, the big attraction in this game is the Road Trip session, where you choose your rider and hit the road with eleven of the greatest BMX riders. It starts in Oklahoma City at the Hoffman Warehouse. Beat the amateur challenges to build up your Road Trip points and then choose where to take the gang next. A complete play-through will take you to eight unique locations where your riding skills will be put to the test. Alternatively, Session allows you to choose a single level and ride all-out in a two, five or ten minute session in an attempt to set high scores and break new records. The levels that are available depend on how far you have travelled on your Road Trip. Finally, Free Ride lets you take things at your leisure. If you're looking for unlimited time to explore the levels and see what kind of lines you can find, this is the option for you. Just pick a level you have unlocked on your Road Trip and away you go. Up to two multi-taps can be used to enable an eight-player game, and however many players want to take part, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 has enough multi-player options to satisfy. In Graffiti War, you tag your opponent's screen by tricking through spray cans. Clear the paint off your own screen by pulling better tricks through cans that your opponent owns. Whoever fills up the opponent's screen with paint first is the winner. Trick Attack is a one-shot free-for-all to see who can create the best lines
