Bike Mania

Bike Mania Walkthrough

"The hottest stunt and dirt bike game ever made you will for sure be addicted to this awesome trials bike game." - OK, that's what it says on the introductory page of the website I logged onto to check and play this game. Well, to be honest, this game isn't that hot at all - nothing new, nothing revolutionary about it, and the goal is pretty much the same with most motorcycle games out there.

Get through the obstacles, reach the finish line, move to the next level, rinse and repeat - that's about it. Nothing hot about it if you would ask me. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you can't have fun playing this game. Nah, far from it. Oozing with obstacles that will test how good you are at steering your motorcycle, how good your fingers are at pressing the left and right arrow keys together with the other buttons to keep it in a balanced position, Bike Mania is one of the more challenging motorcycle games out there.

I'd like to view the simplicity of the game - graphics-wise, game play wise, and everything else in between, as just being straightforward and unpretentious. You want a motorcycle game that challenges your driving skills? Yeah? Here it is, right in its purest form. The only thing that I don't seem to like about the game is that the difficulty of the level isn't evenly scaled. Right on the second stage, you'd have trouble getting past the bunch of barrels (the one after that huge pile of rock). It took me no less than 8 tries to figure out how to overcome it. YES, this game also does a good job of making you think... making those creative juices flow. How did I get past that level? That's for me to know and for you to find out.

The levels aren't that awfully long or dragging. HOWEVER, along the way, it's oozing with obstacles - rocks piled up together, wooden barrels, and everything else in between, which make the level seem a lot longer than it really is.

Summing things up, I'm giving Bike Mania an OK mark for being simple, straightforward, and yet still challenging enough. The graphics is anything BUT remarkable, BUT it's ok. The game itself isn't revolutionary BUT enough to keep you on your toes. If you are having a hard time staying up while doing a school project, if you want to exercise your brain and fingers a bit before a long day at the office, or if you are just plain bored, I recommend you play this motorcycle game.

Give it a shot and you should see what I am talking about.
