DESCRIPTION
From the summit of a craggy slope, plunge hundreds of feet downward in excess of 60 miles per hour, atop nothing more than a lightweight frame and a pair of knobby tires. Following the apocalyptic car combat of Twisted Metal Black and the B-movie brawling of War of the Monsters, Incog's third full release for the PS2 is the console's first downhill mountain bike racing game. This extreme sports title features big trick opportunities, professional riders, brand-name equipment, and an eclectic soundtrack of licensed music.
In what might be described as a combination of cycling and skiing, players race mountain bikes to the bottom of great cliffs, choosing the best line, avoiding obstacles, and gaining speed whenever possible. Downhill Domination features 27 free-roaming tracks in three different racing styles: Mountain Cross, Technical Downhill, and Freeride. As one of five real-life riders or nine fictional characters, players vie for personal bests, corporate sponsorships, and the ultimate "Downhill Domination Championship." ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“ An underrated gem of a game. Those who buy it won't be disappointed. I have yet to see a game that captures the essence of extreme mountain bike racing as this one. Everything feels so genuine and is so exciting. Your heart pounds as you speed at 60mph down a steep hill only to hit a boulder (strangely similar to a ramp) that launches you 30 feet in the air over a mile deep ravine, you land and immediately begin to dodge cars and swerve between buildings. One thing that might frustrate people though is the difficulty and the fact that the first time you play through levels in the campaign (specifically the longer "Freerace" ones that last about 15 minutes and shorter "MX" which is straight downhill) you're definitely not going to win because most levels are trial and error.
Also, I had to take off because there isn't really much customization in the game, especially when it comes to bikes. Basically the 3 or so parts you can buy at the beginning of the game almost max out your stats. Still, the difficulty balances it out so that even if you have a good bike or LLAMA!!!(yes you can ride animals in this game) you still have a good chance to get you butt kicked.”
