Racing on motorized dirt bikes wasn't a big deal until guys like Jeremy McGrath and Ricky Carmichael made household names for themselves by doing big tricks and winning championships. As usual, the video game world took notice and began making games about the sport. By incorporating the big tricks with the breakneck speed and chaos of the sport, the game ranged from mediocre to excellent and became a huge hit with gamers. While the racing element has given way to the trick exhibitions nowadays, some gamers still clamor for races with this particular vehicle. For Wii gamers, DSI Games has answered the call with Yamaha Supercross, a title that makes you want to go reach for older, better titles in the field."

"The Motocross genre has seen some great games, but Yamaha Supercross just isn't one of them. Since Motocross games have been around since the beginning, this game definitely has some areas where it could improve on especially when looking at games of the past. Yamaha Supercross didn't have much going for it, but it is a good value at $20 at most retailers. Honestly, this is the only thing I could find that really stood out to me about the game. With less than par graphics, lack of motion control, and average gameplay, it just didn't stand out to me as a good Motorcross game or even a good Wii game."

Yamaha Supercross is like any number of racing games around, only less dynamic. Its graphics are on par with a Nintendo 64 title, while its gameplay and audio presentation would be more at home in the 16 bit generation. All in all the $20 dollars for this game would be better spent getting Mach Rider on the VC for you and three of your friends. In that game precipitation meant something, dagnabbit!
