BMX XXX

BMX XXX is a game about BMX bikes whose fame lies less in its stunts and more in its content. There are explicit videos and jokes below the belt, which is why the project has received a scandalous reputation. If you put aside the scandal, inside you will find the usual arcade game: acceleration, ramps, railings and a bunch of tricks in different locations. The routes cover urban areas, parks, abandoned sites and special sites. Tricks are performed using buttons and combined into chains, and for successful combinations points are awarded and new levels and bikes are unlocked. The controls are simple, so you can get used to it in a couple of runs. Between tasks, they show videos and rewards for progress, which became the reason for the age rating. For its time, the game looked good, but today it attracts primarily as a curiosity: an arcade game about BMX, which is remembered not for its mechanics. It’s also worth noting that the game has unlockable bikes and locations, as well as mini-games and tasks for different types of tricks. The controls support both a keyboard and a gamepad, which was important for arcades of those years. For the history of the genre, the project is interesting precisely because of its scandalous reputation, and not because of its mechanics. For those interested in the history of extreme sports in gaming, the BMX XXX is an interesting page. Otherwise, this is an ordinary arcade game with questionable taste and working mechanics.
