I have looked at a bunch of store's sites and the earliest I have seen is the 17th (Gamestop). The latest I have seen is the 26th (BestBuy). Some sites don't even have a date for it. I think I oughta go down to Gamestop and reserve a copy. I can't wait!
OK,I called my friend up,who works at Electronics Boutique,he said he could probaly get it to me the 15th,if not he could definately get it to me the 17th,so I think the game was supposed to be released the 15th of January,but was rescheduled for the 17th-26th of February because Stephane Roncada was adding new cut scenes and the last track to the game,I hope they have real names for the bikes,and not like Cyberfish,The Cow Catcher,The Bee,and stuff like that,I hope they have some 2-stroke 500,I.E.KX 500.
You will be able to ride 500s. Along with 50s, 125s and 250s.
quote IGN
Players now have the choice of riding an extra class of bikes, ranging from the newly added 50cc bikes (following the trend of tricking out kids bikes), to 125cc, 250cc, and 500cc bikes.
