Uphill Rush 4

Uphill Rush 4 Walkthrough

Can't get enough of Uphill Rush? Well, guess what: Uphill Rush 4 has just been released! Yes folks, you have read that right. The thrilling racing game that lets you pick between a time-trial and a race is back on business. Just like the usual, you also get to pick between the game's available cups and ride through your own choice of racing vehicles or animals. Heck! You can even customize your gears and costume to get ready for the stunts.

You may think the customization options don't really have anything to do with the game, but the fans of motorcycle games sure love it. The game has received a total of 600 million game plays. And as for the vehicles bought, it has reached the 2.5 million mark. And to top it all off, the outfits purchased have reached 6 million! Uphill Rush 4 is one of the few games where you are allowed you to race on a dolphin or in a geisha outfit... which is fine if you ask me!

Going back to the racing aspect, the game can be somewhat compared to extreme sports. The only difference is that you get to ride a cow or a horse in this motorcycle game. HOWEVER, unlike real-life motocross riding, you don't get a clear front view of the track or path that lies ahead. That said, you need to check out your mini-map A LOT... keep an eye on it while keeping the other on the main game screen. One of the advantages of doing so is that it allows you to see the slope, the twists, and turns that lie ahead of your chosen track. You should be able to avoid unforeseen obstacles, avoid accidents, and tell if you need to activate your nitro once you get into the habit of doing the above tip.

As for the graphics and design department, I got to give this motorcycle game two thumbs up... especially for the massive number of options for character customization. You can change the color of your wheel, get your rider some trendy or old-school clothes, and the list goes on and on. While it would be an exaggeration to say that it's as good as top PC games when it comes to graphics, it's good enough to tempt and keep you playing for the days to come.

Having said that, the game's extreme level of excitement is what will make you appreciate it. It gives you that almost REAL feeling of a race. As you progress through the game, you will discover / unlock stunts and other cool maneuvers, which will surely take your motorcycle driving and racing to the NEXT level. While the tracks are usually situated in odd places like roller coasters, rooftops, etc., one wouldn't really mind. At the very least, this game doesn't require you to be a REAL racer to experience the thrill of setting the road on fire.
