Gameplay

Career Mode

The main mode pits a user-created rider against the CPU riders. From the creation screen, there are two different career paths to take -- a racing career, or a freestyle career.Casamassina, Matt (June 13, 2002). [http://cube.ign.com/articles/362/362206p1.html IGN: MX Superfly Review] . IGN. Retrieved on February 3, 2008.] The racing career consists of straightforward races against computer opponents, while the freestyle career consists of doing different tasks to get through to the next level.

Multiplayer

The Xbox version of the game has Xbox Live download support, allowing users to download different soundtracks, riders, and bikes off of the service. There is no Xbox Live multiplayer support. There is, however, split screen multiplayer.

Reception

Critical reaction was mostly positive. GameSpot gave a 7.9 to all of the versions of the game, reporting, "If you missed out on MX 2002, Superfly is a perfect place to start." IGN wrote, "It's not a perfect racer, but it's a damn good one -- the best we've played on any next-generation console to date." GameSpy gave the game a three and a half of five stars, and praised the fun physics system and great variety in the game, but criticized the complicated trick system.
