Welcome to my Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX Demo FAQ. This demo comes free with
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. If you've got THPS 2, then select "Options" at
the main menu. Then select "Mat Hoffman Demo".
In my opinion, the demo of this game is pretty bad. It has it's bad
side. It's so glitchy, the biker won't respond to your controls, and he
keeps falling over, he won't ride backwards and you can't get off of
grinds very well. But the demo does have it's good points. The transfers
are here, and while there aren't that many of them, they're still fun to
find. The graphics are reasonable enough, and the sounds, although there
aren't many of them, are good enough. The important thing to remember is
that this is only a demo. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 were much
better than their demos, and many things had been added and improved. So
there's still a good chance that the full version of this game could be
far better than the demo.
I hope you find my FAQ helpful as you play through this demo.
