Selv om det er en god stund til år 2002 skal det ikke hindre oss i å være de første til å være entusiastiske rundt THQ's kommende motocross spill til PS2, et spill som godt kan vippe Microsofts Motocross Madness serie av pinnen.
'MX 2002 Featuring Ricky Carmichael' er den fulle tittelen på det neste MX-spillet til PS2 (MX 2001 er i handelen nå til PSone, les GR's anmeldelse om kort tid). Det blir et spill fullt av flott grafikk, realistisk fysikk, offisielle baner, mx-kjørere og brands.
