 ell, well, well – I guess the Game Boy Color can handle this type of game. After two disappointing Tony Hawk GBC titles, Activision tapped Hot Gen to create Road Champs, a freestyle BMX game that provides a long and fairly complex gameplay experience. With over 50 tricks at your disposal, you’ll find yourself losing some serious hours just learning all there is to do in this game. A warning – mastering all the tricks is a difficult task. In order to force you to learn everything Road Champs has to offer, Hot Gen implemented an extremely long, six-level Training mode that you must complete before you can even begin the Career mode. After a while, this began to test my patience, but in the end I was glad for all the training I had received. Brief moments of frustration aside, Road Champs is a fine game.

Road Champs' gameplay is deep and anal. As appealing as that may sound to some of you, I suggest MTV Sports BMX instead. This game's pretty, but too high-maintenance. |
