I had no idea I`d been torturing myself so much all these months! I really need to take note of my pain more often and look to my innerself once in a while. :D
> Wookiee, have you ever played Tony Hawk's before?
Yep.
> It's really fun.
I dare to disagree with you sir!
Sticking needles in my eyes and hanging a truck from my genitals with wire hooks while being nailed to a hippo and rogered by an elephant would be more fun than any skateboarding or BMX game.
Or maybe not! :-)
Heh.
Nah, I played the Dave Mirra games and after playing the excellent Tony Hawks series it makes these BMX games look bad. Still quite shocking that the PS2 version is being censored.
"Ooh, look! He said ****"
Who cares? You can say **** anytime you want.
Look: ****
See? It's easy.
This game will be and always has been just the old BMX game with some 'naughty' content.
Cheap, cheap, cheap.
Cheap and nasty.
Ever heard of porn?
> No. Great BMX title
"BMX" and "great" don't belong together in the same sentence. Nor do "great" and "skateboard".
Two "radical" and "far out" American sports that died in the 80s - people just don't accept it.

I've nothing against boobs or toilet humour, I just don't see the point in using them to sell a crap game. And all BMX games and skateboard games are crap*, by definition. Tony Hawks and Matt Hoffman should stop pretending that they're kids again, and go get real jobs.
* Just my opinion, of course. Doesn't mean that the games really are crap, it's just that they don't appeal to me! 8-p

> why not boobs and toilet humour in another?
Thats what i was thinking. Although the game doesnt really interest me all that much (but hey, if it comes cheap soon who knows) i dont really see what the problem is. Surely Vice City has more in it that could be seen as offensive than this game, especially with all the terrorism going around the world, yet that hasnt been toned down for no one. Yet, BMX XXX is having to be toned down for the states when TV and the Media are full of Nudity.
Its an 18 (or whatever rating it gets in the US thats the same). I dont see what the problem is.
> Crap BMX title, trying to use nudity to sell.
No. Great BMX title, with nudity in. Made by Z-Axis, who made the brilliant Agressive Inline, and have since been bought out by Activision. I have no doubt this will be much better gameplay wise than Matt Hoffman, but it will face a huge backlash due to the adult nature. Although we can have violence and swearing in games like GTA, why not boobs and toilet humour in another?
