Gameplay

The player can choose between eight different riders with unique characteristics and four bikes ranging from 50cc to 500cc. There are 22 tracks with four difficulty levels of gameplay.[2]

The game allows two players to play simultaneously.[3]

Reception

GamePro's Grease Monkey said the game has fast, smooth scrolling but blocky visuals. He criticized the lack of realism, particularly that there are no falls or crashes, and felt the way the soundtrack changes according to what's going on in the race made the sound too chaotic. He concluded, "Dirt Trax FX is a fun game, but serious gear heads will pass in favor of more lifelike motorcycle excitement."[3]

Legacy

In October of 2018, the game's rights were acquired by Canadian production company Liquid Media Group along with other titles originally owned by Acclaim Entertainment.[4]
