Downhill Domination is yet another fantastic PS2 game that didn't nearly receive the hype it deserves.

Difficulty: Just Right

Time Spent: 40 to 100 Hours

The Bottom Line: "Underappreciated"

Downhill Domination is the definition of an underappreciated PS2 gem. Its extremely fast paced dirt bike action captivates the player early on and never fails to let go. Though there's the odd bug here and there, there is plenty to do in this superb racing game. With great and easy-to-learn controls this game fills you up with action. There are numerous modes to be unlocked, along with characters, bikes, stages, and even extra bonuses. It is truly a content fest, and you will be engaged in the fun and addictive racing action for a very long time. In short, this game easily exceeds 50+ hours of gameplay.

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.
