The fact the last level of MHPBMX2 turns into a shooter was the best surprise back in the day. This is one of the top BMX games that ever came out. Oh btw Matt Hoffman is a legend! Remember kids don't pop pills pop wheelies.
3:48 A grind balance meter is present, but is locked behind a cheat code. Once you input the right button sequence on the pause screen, that grind balance meter should appear. It's positioned to the left of your rider as opposed to over your rider's head.
I remember renting BMX2 randomly for PS2 when I was a kid, and I really liked it. I had played THPS2 and 3, but not a ton, and ended up really liking the BMX spin-off. Even seeing the levels played in this video made me nostalgic for it.
Today i learned the spin buttons were faster than the D-pad in THPS. They always felt so awkward to play with that i never tested it through all these years. Found this in my recommended feed. Great video!
duuude!! i loved this first matt hoffman game so much as a kid, at a certain point i think i played it way more than THPS. and you're right, i always felt like no one else talked about these games. way underrated. this is a really good video! sick you added a lot of backstory for matt and not just the video games. made the whole watching experience really enjoyable.
I still hop on Matt Hoffman 2 every now again I think it still holds up, make a 3rd for current generation. If I could find number 1 on ps1 I’d totally buy it and play it again
I was bummed the N64 THPS 2 didnt include the demo! Never got to play the full version but had a lot of fun with the demo! Loved the sound effects too, the rachety noise when the wheels spin as you air out and the metal ::PING:: noises the pegs make when you do peg stalls on quarter pipes. Those were great times!
The RUclips algorithm sent me, fantastic video! I liked the background on Hoffman himself and the track titles listed on screen. One thing I would Like to mention though, your pacing. Allow a pause between topics to distinguish information and let your audience breath. Liked and subscribed, can’t wait to see what you do next.
ive been contemplating for a while which bmx game between mirra and hoffman i wanted to try out. the former has a more interesting trick system (square for tricks and circle for modifiers) but the latter feels smoother and the grinds connect better
Just a correction, MHPB2 has not been released on PC. I love these games and it's a shame there aren't new versions. The new BMX games that are in production (BMX Streets and others) use a control scheme that I find strange with both analog sticks.
I definitely commented while on the Dave Mirra video, don't know how it got on this one. Got an emulator, boutta give it another shot after 20 years since playing it
TH american wasteland was one of the best. The otherDS game is ..o.k. I played MH through with all characters. Didnt play number 2. Only liked the old style physics. Dave Mirra was a nice break from the TH/MH style of game. I've played these games to death long ago. Can't really get the same hit in my 40s now.
Hmm I played the PS1 version but on a couple of PS2 consoles and compared to the THPS games I always felt the controls were extremely unresponsive and frustrating. Not sure whether the PS1 version was worse or maybe it didn't run right on PS2 or something. Anyone else have this experience?
Depending on what year your PS2 was made, compatibility with PS1 games might have been better or worse. There's a huge list of ps1 games that don't work right on ps2.
UG1 has significantly better mechanics than thug2, plus a competent story. Most of the community lives on th4 and thug1 because they're just leagues above the rest

I will definitely give this a try. I had Dave Mera BMX game back in the PS days and logged in a bunch of hours trying to perfect the decade air.

Interesting the devs thought a rail balance meter was too op for regular play lol
Definitely the most memorable games of my life
Didnt know much about Pro Bmx 2. I played a lot of dave mirra 2 in those days
Great video! Growing up riding bmx, the two games i loved were Matt Hoffman 2 and Dave Mirra 2
Loved theses games and they created the hall of meat mode from my knowledge was a go to with my brother

Great games ,me and my brother loved rinsing these and Dave Mirra 👌
Seymour Hoffman’s bro was a bmx star? COOL!

I wish these 2 games would get the thps 1+2 treat I’d definitely buy it
Man, I forgot these games existed for a bit there
What a nostalgia trip
Great video bro
Thank you🍻
Great video! Excellent music choices too. The Dreamcast version had way better graphics than the PsX port, damn I missed out lol.
Great video, very interesting to watch.
Thanks I appreciate that

I need to check if I still have my Pro BMX 2 disc. Fingers crossed.
Good video Red Berry lets keep it goin!

Did you know Tony Hawk American Wasteland had a BMX mode?
I spent hours on Matt Hoffman 2
The only way they could make mhpbmx2 any better would be to do a remaster 🤞🏻

That's because they're based of the Skate franchise
The controls on bmx streets pipe work fantastic once you get the hang of it. Super fun.
I couldn't even get most of the challenges done on the first level on the 3rd Dave Mirra game because I kept beating off
Real struggle lmao
I definitely commented while on the Dave Mirra video, don't know how it got on this one. Got an emulator, boutta give it another shot after 20 years since playing it
I am a passengeeer
Sweet ost, isn't ? haha
“And I ride and I ride”
You don't have a DS? Sk8land and Downhill jam (the good one) are f**king awesome
TH american wasteland was one of the best. The otherDS game is ..o.k.

i remember this game when i got my gamecube in 2003
it was tony hawkish but nowhere near as fun
Dave Mirra???
Nice review but I would give MHPB1 a 5

dave mirra series next??
I've got those and Aggressive Inline on my list of stuff to cover
I was super into all of the extreme sports games. Too bad the second Matt Hoffman's game wasn't nearly as tight as the first game.
whats the first game showed ?! i have never seen it , plz dont tell me this is how proving ground looks like
It's proving ground with reshade. PG by itself has almost no color
@@RedBerylFTW pathetic that it looks even worse originally
Need a dave mirra freestyle bmx 1&2
Getting to that pretty soon 🍻
Hell yeah dude good videos they take me back
9:48 what game is this ? i've never seen this one
It's called "Descenders"
tbf nose manuals are much harder on a skateboard too... still ingame it never MATTered *badum ts*
I played dave mirra freestyle bmx but never got to play matt hoffmans what was better
Imo the Hofman games were better, but Dave Mirra was really good until they screwed it up with BMX XXX
@@RedBerylFTW I will try it out
nice vid. what game is at 9:50?
it looks fun, i want to play it haha
It's called Descenders and thank you 🍻
Dave Mirra>Matt Hoffman always just like McGrath>Carmichael
What happened to Mat??
He still around?
I don't think he rides anymore but yeah he's still around
Your videos visually, literally, look very dark. I've tried adjusting my brightness, but it's a consistent problem across most of your vids.
Idk what to do about that. Things look fine on my end
Why does THUG 1 get all the love? THUG 2 was much better imo
thug1 barely got a PC release too, it was only released in... australia and new zealand of all places.
UG1 has significantly better mechanics than thug2, plus a competent story. Most of the community lives on th4 and thug1 because they're just leagues above the rest
Thps4 and Thug 1 in retrospect are the best games in the series hands down
I feel like THUG 2 was definitely an improvement, but they got too into making it into a Jackass game basically
I prefer american wasteland over both tbh
dave mirra better 🙀
Great video, I appreciate the clear effort that went into the editing and the research
Its awesome that you're putting the work in
Thank you 🍻🍻
