Gameplay (5 out of 5)

In PBR2 you will tour the US through the bull-riding circuit collecting points along the way to guarantee you a spot in the championship. Players have the option to play a complete season and go on tour or instantly compete in ‘quick ride’ mode. The ‘quick ride’ feature allows players to countless rounds. Both game modes allow you the choice to ride as a cowboy or buck as a bull. The improvements in gameplay doesn’t stop at the ‘be a bull’ option. Professional Bull Rider 2 features a new ‘bullfighter’ mode. This mode matches a rodeo clown versus a vicious bull. You can play either character. When you play as the bull your objective is to toss the cowboy and then stomp the rodeo clown. During the mode as the rodeo clown your job is to tease and avoid the bull at all costs. Players also have to perform a daring trick that involves smacking the angry bull on the buttocks without getting killed. It’s lots of fun. The ‘bullfigher’ mode only functions as a ‘quick ride’ or in face off competition. This sequel is very challenging. It has plenty of replay value. Players can have fun as a bull, rodeo clown, or they can pursue a career vying for the championship

Graphics & Sound (4 out of 5)

The graphics are the quality that you’d expect from Sierra Sports. Animations look as true to life as possible for a PC game. Movements are extremely realistic. Every time a cowboy is tossed or trampled visually it looks like you’re right there in the arena. The menus are surprisingly clever with a colorful layout. Enhanced video tips play seamlessly and the customized design mode operates smoothly. The grunts, agonizing screams, and cheers come in clear. A cool extra in Professional Bull Rider 2 is the real PBR announcer Justin McKee’s distinct commentary which adds to players bull riding experience. The soundtrack is primarily country western. Whether you’re a fan of country music or not it fits the game well adding to the western ambiance.
