GMTV
"If you've seen motocross on television you'll know the score - lots of stripped down dirtbikes all heading for the same corner in various stages of flight with their riders only just hanging on or, more usually, off. Motocross Mania is a frantic, high-speed fight to the finish line with four different event types."

Computer Games Online
"Fast, flamboyant action, un-lockable tricks and tracks, believable sense of speed and low price"
"Tracks are immense and can be explored in their vast entirety. Tons of rocky outcrops or bumpy back roads help participants grab big air in preparation for firing off one of the many rider tricks. You'll find that there is a science to the stop and start racing style as well. Perform well and new tracks and tricks will be unlocked. The game runs at a blisteringly high frame rate, impressively conveying the illusion of speed"

Adrenaline Vault
"Because of its arcade emphasis, the bikes in Motocross Mania actually have tighter handling on turns, and are easier to control overall, than in Motocross Madness 2. The complex physics allows players to do virtually anything on the screen that a real motorbike can do, including full rotation of the bike in every direction. "
"Since the highly successful release of the original Motocross Madness back in 1998, Motocross Mania is the first serious competitor to emerge on the scene and to take up the challenge"

CNET Game center
"Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 best"
"Rough-and-ready, concentrated gameplay; nice graphics; fun play mechanics"
"Motocross Mania is the type of game that will appeal to racing and nonracing fans alike; it's a good old-fashioned racer that's built on a steady engine with decent gameplay values. Competent in all regards yet spectacular in none, it's a pleasantly surprising title worthy of attention from fans of the genre. It's not the best racing game we've seen this year, but it is definitely one of the more accessible and compelling ones"

GameZone
"Now let me tell ya, if you are seriously into motocross or just a rookie fan, this is the game to play! "

"Motocross Mania provides a seemingly crazy atmosphere of dirt flinging, bone crushing and high flying stunts under a variety of competition style riding."

"the included GameSpy support is excellent, and even though the documentation asks for a minimum of a 33.6kbps connection, I could play a game at 26.4kpbs"
"Deibus has done a good job with this one"

Barrys World
"Motocross Mania is a huge amount of fun, as well as providing one of the most breathtaking engines in this type of game."
"As it stands, Motocross Mania is a game that has much more going for it than just the various race modes and stunt tracks, as built into some of the racing tracks are hidden areas that you can play with in free-roam mode, such as natural half-pipes hidden away near off-road racing tracks, or hips that can be used, if you're good, to perform some of the wildest stunts imaginable. "

Derby Evening Telegraph

" Okay, who remembers the BBC television children's programme from the 1980s called Kick Start. Okay, keep your hands up if you ever wanted to be on BBC television children's programme called Kick Start. I'll put my hand down now."
