The aim in Code Masters' latest sim is to get on yer bike and pedal like crazy to get around the course as quickly as possible - up to four people can participate. Apart from avoiding collisions with each other the bikers must also avoid tumbles resulting from collisions with the variety of obstacles placed in their way. All of which would be great if the controls weren't so over-responsive, breathe on the joystick and you crash.

Graphically BMX Simulator 2 is very colourful, but pretty graphics do not a game make I'm afraid, for BMX fans with lots of patience only.

BMX Simulator 2
Now here's a game that pokes you in the ribs and whispers "playability". Essentially Supersprint with bikes, BMX 2's presentation is snappier than a croc in a mousetrap. It's got funky music and graphics, action replays of races, two skill levels and a (separately loaded) set of harder courses. Pride of place though, goes to the four (four! Four!) player mode. It's not flawless (it's very difficult to tell who's who during a race) but as a communal game it could replace Triv as the perfect way to ruin parties.
