Downhill Domination is yet another fantastic PS2 game that didn't nearly recieve the hype it deserves.
On another note, there are a few flaws in the game. These include some control bugs and some uneven difficulty. Other than that, there is not much to criticize in this outstanding and extremely underrated PS2 gem. However, you might find the gameplay to be a bit rough around the edges, which can sometimes bring down the excitement. Nevertheless, great visuals and an amazing sense of speed and agility make this a worthwhile experience. As I said, there is so much to do and so much fun to be had in this humorous and simply joyous racing game.
Furthermore, the downhill racing action puts you in absolutely fantastic locations. From the mountains of Italy to the local streets and estates of Scotland, there is a great amount of variety in the gameplay. There is also a cool feature that makes this game all the more unique and original. As you race and preform tricks and stunts in the air while speeding down intense tracks there are many power ups and abilities to unlock. You may unlock the ability to throw water bottles at opponents, smack them off there bikes with sticks, punch, kick, and so on. Surprisingly, this is exceptionally well done, and serves as another pro to this wonderful game. It also adds a humorous yet brilliant feel to the game, without making it cheesy or annoying.
Then there's the voice acting, which actually suits the game perfectly. It's very funny and crude at the same time, which fits the overall feel of the game. There's nothing more original than a British soccer player complimenting his face while hitting another opponent with a water bottle. It's just hilarious.
Overall, one must simply play this underrated PS2 gem, for it is more than just worthwhile.
