Is it OK to say "I told you so"?Sure, as long you don't say it to me. I had a feeling about this a while ago and posted a thread about it all being a gimmick...I bet it still sells though...
I mean, who isn't going to rent it at least to satisfy curiosity?Dave,
Let me introduce myself. My name is Chris Rock, and I won't be renting this game.
I had a feeling about this a while ago and posted a thread about it all being a gimmickWhat thread might that of been?
Now I've actually played BMX XXX and while it's not a great game by any means, it is damn entertaining.
I thought it stank, to be honest, and I'm not talking about the toilet humour etc. It just did not play anywhere near as well as I was expecting from Z-Axis' pedigree - Aggressive Inline stomps all over. The animation system is poor, which combined with the collision system, really hampers it as a "Tony Hawk" style game (what is the correct name for this genre?). I never felt anywhere near as in control of the character & my actions as I do in Aggressive Inline or the THPS games.
It has some nice level design, but the control system combined with the above faults never made feel like I was "in control". Mat Hoffman does it so much better.
To be fair, Dave Mirra on the DC had some similiar issues, but I could forgive it because it only cost me $10 or so.
It really smacks of Acclaim knowing it wasn't upto the standards of Aggressive Inline & dressing it up to try & make it sell.
