Summary

Pumped BMX Pro is a game that will immediately be compared to games like Trials, Fair comparison but Pumped BMX Pro is a much easier game to get into and master. With a wide library of moves and tricks, Pumped BMX Pro makes it easy to pull off said moves and is very accessible. Pumped BMX Pro has many riders and bikes but they only really serve as cosmetic which is a bit of a letdown, Runs cannot be salvaged even if you manage to get back on two wheels. Pumped BMX Pro is a game for people that want a game like Trials but without the crazy difficulty spikes and intricate mechanics, Pumped BMX Pro is about having fun and for that it nails it.
