It's got a good 'pick up and play' style to it but like good games that are easy to get into and play it's hard to truely master.
The offline's REALLY good too. It reminds me a lot of Tony Hawk except because it's a motorbike your using you don't have to do crappy rail slides and all that annoying stuff. You have to do certain tricks, there's bit where you have to follow peoples lead for points and do the tricks they do and there's hidden things (go over an obscure ramp and a trick will show up which you have to do whilst launching off that particular ramp to unlock it in the game).
There's a freestyle mode, a motocross mode (outdoors, woodland etc) and a super cross mode (stadium). These all play like a pick up and play version of MX Superfly except Superfly was more of a rock hard simulation.
8 player races on Live are SWEET and there's also a king of the hill mode and a strange capture the helmet mode where the player with the helmet is the only one able to do freestyle tricks, the first person to reach the set number of freestyle points wins. This makes for some long but thoroughly enjoyable games.

It probably reminds you of the Tony Hawk games because this title was actually originally going to be titled "Travis Pastrana's Pro MotoX", just like Wakeboarding Unleashed was going to be titled "Shaun Murray's Pro Wakeboarder". Activision seem to be going off that whole "Pro" title malarkey now.
It does sound hella good though, and I'll probably pick it up later in the week.

Oh yeah almost forgot, I started playing this game at 4pm, and aside from a quick break for dinner, I didn't stop playing it until about 10:30.
It's still mainly racing (well duh) but the Tony Hawk elements give it some real character and extra stuff to do.
Oh and I think you can get 2 people on Live through the same Xbox with it, like Unreal and PGR2.
And there's movies to unlock and a whole career mode with sponsors and different teams to defect to etc etc.
