Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2

The game's main mode is called "Proquest". In each level, a variety of goals and challenges must be met within a time limit, netting experience points. These points can be used to increase the rider's stats and they unlock further levels. Challenges include reaching certain high scores, collecting letters and spray cans, and performing specific tricks. Completing the first levels switches the game to Pro, and later, Hardcore mode, increasing the difficulty of the goals in each stage.

The gameplay involves navigating through six levels filled with various obstacles, such as half and quarter pipes, ramps, bowls, rails, and special objects, to perform tricks on. Tricks are activated through button combinations. Completing several tricks in a row without bailing increases the rush meter - when filled, it allows the performance of signature moves for each rider.

The game also features two additional modes: "Session" and "Freeride", which allow practicing unlocked levels either with or without the time limit. Two two-player modes are available: In "Full Run", the two players compete for a high score, in "Star Collector" they compete for a best time in finding 10 stars scattered over the levels.
