Just Manhunt thanks, BMX XXX doesn't deserve to see the light of any retail shelves.

Keep it banned! It's terrible...nothing compared to SoFI or the ever-so-lovable SoFII.

  Given that it's marketed as Value-Soft it's kind of a given that it was destined for failure. I finally sat down to do a playtest with it last night and I regret wasting the drive space on the install. The aim is horrible on my Deathadder, the graphical system is like a hyper-blurred state of SOFII without the cool bodily explosions. I dont enjoy barely grazing an ear and having a head explode like a sonic boom just went off beside it.
