Overview
Description

Freekstyle delivers an over‑the‑top motocross experience where speed meets insane stunts. Push the limits with backflips, tsunamis, and Mulisha Airs on wildly designed tracks.

Freestyle MetalX lets players tear through eight interconnected urban environments, using bikes to smash windows, jump over buses, and perform insane tricks. The game blends open‑world freedom with structured events like Big Air, Hill Climb, and Race, letting you earn cash to upgrade bikes, gear, and clothing. Beyond the main courses, the title offers quirky mini‑games such as cliff‑jump trick chains, human‑dart challenges, and motocross pinball, plus a built‑in level editor for creating custom arenas. All of this is set to a hard‑driving soundtrack featuring Megadeth, Mötley Crüe, Motörhead, and Twisted Sister.
