BMX XXX is a controversial 2002 video game published by Acclaim Entertainment for the Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2. It was developed by Z-Axis. It is a BMX game speckled with crude humor and nudity. The game allows you to create riders as topless women in underwear bottoms and "unlock" full motion video clips of strippers in action. Consequently, BMX XXX was denied classification in Australia. While the game is available fully uncensored on the Nintendo GameCube and the Xbox, the PlayStation 2 version has no topless riders and the stripper footage is censored with small BMX XXX logos over the nipples. Despite this, the reception by the public was luke-warm. Image File history File links BMX_XXX_BoxArt. ...
