The robust freestyle mode is one of the main aspects that separates MX 2002 featuring Ricky Carmichael from every other racing game. Players are able to explore the open terrain without limits or restrictions. Secret areas and death-defying tricks add to the excitement. Gamers will also be able to fine tune and customize their bikes as they advance through the twenty-four racing and freestyle tracks.
The game’s 30-rider roster includes some of the flashiest freestyle professionals. Gamers can perform tricks and combos with freestylers like Carey Hart, Trevor Vines and Mike Jones. The top names in racing are also well represented, with riders like Ricky Carmichael, Mike LaRocco and Kevin Windham. All of this is showcased on officially licensed events and tracks, constructed from actual satellite data for an unprecedented level of realism.
