Feel free to switch out Mr. Hoffman for Dave Mirra if you happened upon the latter's entry to the genre first, as although that made for a more realistic and causal take on the idea of riding a BMX like Evil Knieval, it was Hoffman's very Tony Hawk-like game that played far better. If you clocked THPS 2 you already knew what you were in for, as there was an unlockable easter egg that opened up a section of this game. The full release was an execution on the standard Hawk patent in everything from box art to half-pipes, which providing you just wanted more of that glorious control scheme and a smattering of new levels, was just what the Hawkster ordered. Both Mat Hoffman releases did very well considering such staunch opposition, and now that Pro Skater 5 has attempted to get skateboarding back into the cultural conscience, perhaps it's about time BMX's got their second wind too?
