Graphically Dave Mirra 2 is a vast improvement from the original although unfortunately it bugs me trying not to concerntrate on how poor the graphics are after playing games like tony hawks 3.
Soundwise Dave Mirra 2 is below average for a extreme sports game, i mean there is just not enough sound effects, not even an improvement from the original just the same old bird chipping, metallic sounds when grinding, grunts when crashing.

 Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 (Game Boy Advance) Reviews. Game Boy Advance Games Reviews by CNET.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 isn't much different than Acclaim's previous Mirra game on the Game Boy Advance, but that's not necessarily a complaint, since the sequel builds on what was already an extremely solid product.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 doesn't hand out stat boosts as readily as its predecessor, so you actually have to think about what skills you wish to enhance from the beginning in order to properly guide your development.
Taken as a whole, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 is a worthy successor to Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2, even if it doesn't do much to improve the overall formula.
