"1:1" crams the entire 2001 season onto a disc with all tracks, racers and teams
accounted for, piling on custom seasons, car tweaking and stat tracking for good
measure. "H" looks great, boasting multiple viewpoints and excellent weather
effects as well as some awesome broadcast-quality sequences and replays. The
sound lacks similar punch, and the addition of some form of commentary should
he on top of the list of improvements for 2002. Nevertheless, "FL is a tough,
loaded racer that should please the sport's more dedicated fans.
DAVE MIRRA FREESTYLE BMX 2
Publisher: Acclaim Max Sports
Developer: Z-Axis
Available: Now for Play Station 2, November for Gamecube and X Box
Play Station 2 garners have been itching for a new extreme sports game, and
"Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2" should tame that itch. The game offers many
customizable features and a stunt engine that is a little glitchy but loads of fun.
"Dave Mirra's" huge levels look and feel great, offering plenty of room for imagi
nation without any slowdown or pop-up. The game's physics engine acts up at
times hut is nothing that can't he overcome with practice. The create-a-rider mode
works nicely, the park editor is simply loaded, and the game's soundtrack is re
freshingly diverse. "Dave Mirra's" has its share of glitches and shortcomings, but
once you start playing. you'll wonder where the time went.

X-MEN: REIGN OF APOCALYPSE
"X
-Men: Reign of Apocalypse" is a straight-up brawler in the
tradition of "Final Fight One." What "Apocalypse" adds is the ability
to choose from four heroes, each of which boasts a cache of special
attacks capable of wiping out the high number of baddies that come at
you at once. "Apocalypse" features some nice gameplay that is repeti
tive and sluggish at times but generally stays hot and fun. To top it off,
a battery backup allows players to save progress and control defeated
bosses in the two-player versus mode. "Final Fight One" still takes the
cake as the Game Boy Advance's best brawler, but cautious X-Men
gins should feel safe plunking down the cash for this one.
"F 1 2001" toes the line between simulation and arcade game,
pitting extremely simple controls and objectives against a slightly in
ing learning curve. Getting into "Fl" is a breeze; mastering the game's
cs and winning races will take time. The reward for such patience is huge:
