Review: Bike or Die 2

This is a review for the game Bike or Die 2.
This is my first review, so I hope you guys like it!

Overview
Alright, Bike or Die 2 is supposed to be a "bike physics simulator".
The graphics for the game aren't amazing, but for this type of game they suit it quite well.

There are settings in the game that allow some graphical changes. One of them turns the 3d effects off, and another even turns on a high contrast mode that lets you see the track a lot better.

The levels are pretty tricky. There are tons of levels that the game comes default with, plus you have the option to download more from their website.
All of this put together would equal a pretty good game, however one of the things that the game doesn't do well is simulating bike physics. Your bike in this game acts as if it's made of rubber. Sometimes when you go over an edge, the chasis of your bike will stretch and then slingshot back to the bike when you're loose. However, while frustrating at times, this can actually seem to work out for the best during the game.

All of the levels have pretty good variety. Not only that, they're really hard. Despite the frustrating difficulty, that makes the payoff for beating a level so much more rewarding.

The game also has character customization options, where you can change to colors of your character's outfits and bike.

Final Thoughts
Although the physics are absolute rubbish, this game is really fun to just pick up and play. Lately I've just been picking it up to play when I'm bored and I feel like I need to play something. Although it is very pricey ($6.99), I think that it is one of the more fun games I've played for the iPod touch. It's just something that's great to pick up and play for a little bit and work on the level you're stuck on.

Final Review

Graphics- 4/5 - The reason I rated this so high was because the graphics work for this game. The graphics are actually pretty good for this type of game. I think that if they made it a bit more 3d, like maybe added some 3d features to your rider, then that would make it better.

Gameplay- 3/5 - Although the game is actually very addicting and fun, the physics is horrible, and for a 'bike physics simulator', that shouldn't be happening.

Sound- 2/5 - The soundtrack in this game consists of basically the same crappy NES sounding song repeating over and over. Some actual music would be better. However, the in-game sound effects are adequate.

Price- 1/5 - Although it's a great game, it's really not worth its $6.99 price tag. I think the game, although fun, deserves a price of about $0.99-$2.00 range. Because it really is just a port of a free computer game.

Overall Impression- 3.5/5 - Although I have played this game more than most of the other games on my iPod, it still has some issues that I don't like. Especially the fact that you can't skip ahead to levels. Also, the high price tag really drops down the rating in my books. Other than that, it's a great game worth buying. I would totally recommend this game, but I would just advise people to wait for a price drop before buying it.
