MCM2
Yes, I play on 'the zone', which since someone asked is actually the site
www.zone.com. I just received the game for xmas, and it's become somewhat addictive late at night. My wife also gives me grief.
I really think that alot of how the game functions could really help beginning riders(ie. gyro/brake effect to control front end in air, lean forward when turning).
If you are having problems getting the game to launch, one thing to check is that you have first inserted the game CD into the drive, prior to accessing zone.com using your browser. When MCM2 starts, exit the game but leave the cd in the drive. Then, access the Zone and signin. You should then be able to join a game and the cd will be accessed and authenticated. Respond 'OK' to the prompt if it wants to change your video settings, and be patient. It may take some time. I have cable access at home, and sometimes it still takes 2-3 minutes to get there.
There are some things I don't like about how you control the bike, and especially the hacks(guys using cheating software patches to go faster or drive through objects when other's can't do so) I encounter while playing on the zone. But it can be alot of fun. I would be curious about how many people who play that game 'actually' race mx.
I usually play under 'dmichael46', for those interested, and mostly enjoy the sx the most.
