This game is a 3D side-view dirt bike stunt course with nice graphics and a large variety of levels. The on-screen controls are somewhat complex but they give you detailed gas, brake, lean forward, lean back, and jump control of your bike which you will need to negotiate challenging obstacles like ramps, giant tires, pipes, rocks, and more. The bike handles realistically and you can see the front and rear suspension load and unload independently. You can do wheelies and flips, hitting your head or taking a big hit sends you back to the beginning or last checkpoint. Sometimes the physics are unrealistic like going up a 80 degree incline while doing a leaning back wheelie but that's what you've got to do to make it through. The rear wheel on the bike provides the forward momentum and the game accurately models that.
The levels are varied in appearance, content and difficulty. The problem is some of the very difficult levels have no checkpoints so after you get through all sorts of crazy obstacles and screw up near the end you'll have to start over. And again and again. Repetition does teach you the controls and techniques but I dislike repeating the whole level over and over on some of the courses. More checkpoints would be appreciated.
Overall this is a fun challenging polished action game that I've had lots of fun with.
