![]() The textures are more sharply defined and the particle emission, such as smoke, are better. At its highest, there are detailed shadows emitted from objects as well as lighting effects. MM2's graphics engine may be adjusted to increase or decrease the level of visual quality in-game. Motocross Madness 2 is popular for its superb next-generation (for its time) graphics, and is often praised for its 3-D visual texturing and rendering. There is no ambient soundtrack playing in-game. Most of the in-game sounds, such as the bikers crying out in pain when falling or radios playing in nearby caravans, were recorded from real-life sources. The end credits featured the song "Deville" from the band Strung Out. The band Incubus recorded most of the game's soundtrack, their song which was primarily featured in MM2 as its introductory song being New Skin. Microsoft added to the realism of the game by securing licensed motorcycles from Yamaha, KTM, Suzuki, and Honda. Players can create their own clothing and customize their motorcycles. These maps can be utilized by players who download them to their PCs. ![]() Unlike its predecessor, Motocross Madness 2 allows players to create terrains (referred to as 'maps' or 'tracks') using Adobe Photoshop and the Armadillo terrain editor. Tournaments are composed of various single events. Ghost races allow players to race against their own times (how long it took them to finish the track). Single events finish right after all players complete the track. ![]() Practice games never end and no players can win. Players can also select the style of the game they want to play: practice, single event, ghost or tournament. Players can also select which bike they want to compete with as well as the appearance of the suit of their rider. They may then also select the map/track, game mode and toggle vegetation collision (whether players can crash into solid objects, such as trees or buildings) and whether they want to record a replay of the game they're about to play. While creating a custom game in single-player, players can select the amount of computer opponents to compete against, which range from 0, the minimum, to 10 - the maximum amount of opponents in a game (This makes a full race in MM2 eleven players maximum.) They may also select the difficulty, which ranges from easy and normal to hard. Supercross is similar to nationals, except for the location as well as nationals tracks are far broader and thinner, whereas Supercross tracks are large yet the track is compact. It features an extreme sports-like atmosphere, with the crowd reacting to the player's performance. In supercross mode, the player must race against other opponents within a dirtbiking track in a large stadium watched by an audience. In stunts, there is no restriction as to where the player may go, and so he may also roam freely across the map. A failed stunt results from the rider crashing while attempting to perform a stunt. To perform a stunt, a rider must gain enough height in mid-air and then is able to perform any of the six stunts. In stunts mode, the player, in order to win, must accumulate the highest amount of points by performing successful stunts. In nationals mode, the player is restricted to racing within a dirtbiking track against other opponents, with the goal of completing a certain amount of laps first (there are no gates in this mode). Except, in this mode, the races take place in urban or rural maps, which is smaller and more variable than baja. In enduro mode, which is similar to baja, the player also races against other opponents to ride through gates, with the goal of being the first to complete a certain amount of laps. Baja, unlike Nationals or Enduro, takes place in massive, open wilderness. The first player to complete a certain amount of laps is the winner. In baja mode, the player races against other opponents to ride through checkpoints (called "gates") until all of the gates have been ridden through - this is one complete lap. ![]() In either mode, players are not limited to track space, and are free to play amongst the terrain and inanimate objects or moving features such as trains, cars and farm tractors. Players can race against each other on the same map, play tag and can choose from Supercross or Enduro. Unlike the single-player mode, the multiplayer mode is completely lacking in structure. In Pro-Circuit mode, a single player follows a series of events and courses in an effort to win prize money and upgrade equipment. In MM2, there are six types of racing: Stunts, Enduro, Baja, Supercross and Nationals, and the campaign-style Pro-Circuit Mode.
