Critic Reviews

100 Hot Games
This game can grind, manual, ollie, combo, and trick out just as well as THPS2 -- but it does it with two less wheels.
89 Antagonist
Doesn't quite beat the master (Tony Hawk), but it's still an ass-kickingly fun gaming experience.
86 Sega X
This game is loads of fun even for a beginner such as myself.
86 IGN
A terrific way to pass the time in between those epic sessions of "Skies of Arcadia" and "Shenmue," Mirra BMX is worth every penny.
85 Planet Dreamcast
The way Acclaim brought freestyle biking to a console is just awesome. While Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is not perfect, it has enough good aspects in it to overlook the little bad things.
83 Game Revolution
The addictive gameplay along with clean textures and smooth animations produce a rock solid game. The lack of a level editor is something of a letdown, but I guess we'll have to just wait for "Dave Mirra 2."
80 Dreamcast HQ
I think if you're looking for something new besides the next skateboarding game, you'll be more than happy with this game.
75 Happy Puppy
While fans of BMX will enjoy the cool licenses and game features (like the height meter for midair boasts), casual gamers who are used to training wheels will find both a plug-and-play arcade game and a deep career mode.
70 DC Swirl
Any Hawk fan that has yet to play any version should definitely check out this quality title.
65 GamerWeb Sega
This one would be a must-have if not for the evils of slowdown and gameplay glitches that take a top-notch experience and effectively rip the fun right out of it.
50 GamePro
As with its PlayStation counterpart, it's best to not even play Dave Mirra. The gameplay is incomplete with inexcusably terrible graphics and thumb-numbing controls.
36 GameSpot
The Dreamcast version's graphical flaws manage to wreck anything the game has going for it, leaving behind an ugly, unplayable mess.
