About This Games
Downhill Domination is an extreme downhill mountain-bike racing video game developed by Incognito Entertainment and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in North America. Published for PlayStation 2 in July 2003, the game centers around quick downhill races along mountain trails, forests, canyons, and other difficult terrains. It’s not quite a normal cycling simulator, as it combines racing with stunt performance, aggressive attacks, power-ups, and unlockable equipment. Players race against rival cyclists while riding through steep slopes, hairpin turns, jumps and environmental hazards. Players can perform tricks to earn rewards and improve their scores, and may interfere with nearby competition with attacks. The game also features multiple race formats, a selection of fictional and professional riders, equipment upgrades and local multiplayer for up to four players. These mechanics make each descent about speed, positioning, risk-taking, and competition.

Story
Downhill Domination doesn't feature a traditional cinematic story with a predetermined protagonist. Instead, the single player progression is based on competitive downhill racing, earning recognition, upgrading gear and working toward the Downhill Domination Championship. Players pick an available rider and compete in races on a variety of terrains. Good performances allow them to progress through events, make money, unlock more riders, and get more gear. The big picture is to be a top contender by learning the courses and out-racing the competition. The game features both fictional riders and unlockable pro mountain bikers. This mix gives the racing experience a mix of arcade style characters and real world cycling personalities. Downhill Domination tells its story through races, tournaments, rider selection and equipment rewards rather than story-heavy dialog.
Gameplay
Downhill Domination is a fast-paced downhill mountain-bike racing game with a focus on speed, stunts, combat and track navigation. Cyclists race down steep slopes and compete with other riders. It’s great to keep the momentum going, but the fastest path isn’t always the safest path. Obstacles, sharp corners, jumps and alternative routes can slow a rider’s progress. Tricks are a big part of the gameplay. They can perform aerial tricks during jumps and combine different tricks to improve their performance. Superstyle mechanic allows players to modify tricks for more rewards. Timing is everything and doing a stunt at the wrong moment can cost you precious speed or a crash. Racing also has the added dimension of combat. Riders can attack them on either side, to make them unstable, or to slow them down. Power-ups and harder hits also provide more chances to get the upper hand. The players need to choose the correct time to race, the correct time to do tricks, and the correct time to mess with an opponent. In single-player mode, the game also has a bike shop whereby the player can use the money they earned on available upgrades and equipment. This progression system encourages repeated races and provides players with reasons to improve their results.
