 The Sports Gaming Network - Supercross 2001 (PSX) Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
To call Supercross 2001's framerate vomit-inducing would be a little unfair, but it definitely puts one foot beyond the borderline of acceptability and if you play the game for more than 40 minutes straight you definitely start to feel a little queasy.
Supercross 2001's overall resolution isn't as crisp as Ridge Racer 4 or Jarret and Labonte Stock Car Racing, but it's not bad and there are a wide variety of course and trackside textures that give the courses a realistic look.
Supercross 2001 obviously features all 16 tracks and stadiums from EA Sports' real life Supercross Series, as well as four freestyle arenas/environments, and each of these tracks can be chosen in the Singe Race, Freestyle Practice and Time Trial modes.

Jeremy McGrath Supercross World is the most recent in a line of MX games developed by and for Acclaim.
Supercross World, on the other hand, was developed by one of Acclaim's in-house teams, and the result can't be called anything but a miserable failure.
The heart of the game is its single-player mode, which is divided up into two main parts--the single event mode, which allows you to pick a rider and race immediately, and the career mode, which requires you to select a character and enter him in a series of races.

If it creates enthusiasm for anything, it will be for the scantily clad babes who put aside their own strength and smarts to stand by their, uh, men.

 Supercross: The Movie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Produced in association with Clear Channel Entertainment's Motor Sports division, which sponsors the Supercross bike-racing competition, the production attempts to dress up the corporate synergy in the guise of a fictionalized story of two racing brothers, but the resulting mix of ESPN-style visuals and WB Network-style dramatics never convincingly comes together.
Joining Howey and Vogel are Cameron Richardson and Sophia Bush as the brothers' love interests, and the more seasoned Robert Carradine and Robert Patrick as the controlling corporate heavy and the noble independent spirit, who serve, for better or worse, as the boys' respective father figures.
Maybe it would have been a better idea to simply skip the fiction altogether and just show those real-life bikers doing their extreme thing, uninterrupted by cutaway close-ups of the actors pretending to be them.
