SX Superstar

Doing backflips on 125cc motorcycles gets you all the girls.

While Climax?s Italian Job was less than stellar, it's obvious that Acclaim got the long end of the stick with the developer?s other creation. Although hardly original (it's Jeremy McGrath with a next-gen facelift), SX Superstar is a well-built arcade bike racer with pretty-enough graphics and the trademark dead-on Climax control. Most amusing of all is the Championship mode?winning on the track here lets you negotiate sponsorships, move into better digs, and even find a nicer-looking girlfriend...unless you're female. Hardcore folks will notice the fake bike names and lack of tuning options right off, but the story mode's novelty should keep genre beginners fascinated all by itself.
