"Bike Rider DX was released last month, but it wasn’t until a recent sale that I decided to take the plunge and download it. Now that I have, I can’t help but think what a steal I got. Simply put, Bike Rider DX is a fantastic game!
Some titles take a while before they start to grow on me. Bike Rider DX is not one of them. It won me over instantly. The game’s beauty is in its simplicity. From design to control, this is a game that you’ll start having fun with the second you begin playing.
The World Tour mode plays like a platformer as you try to successfully navigate to the end goal, and there is an endless mode (Grand Prix) that’s a nice inclusion also. There are even some great extra stages to look forward to, with several new locations as unlockables. As you navigate your biker through the game you’ll be jumping over simple gaps (to start) avoiding fellow riders and other obstacles, grabbing collectables, and picking up power-ups. Is it basic stuff? Sure. But does it work? Absolutely! All the best platformers adopt these genre staples, and Bike Rider uses them all to its advantage.", writes PureNintendo.
No online hurts its longevity, and the generic game design fails to set it apart from the crowd, but deep down there's a fun but flawed auto-runner here.
At the end of the day, Bike Rider DX is a fun game. It's the sort of title that's nice to have when needing to kill fifteen minutes or so. It has pleasant graphics and a solid soundtrack, and while its gameplay lacks depth, it's entertaining enough for short bursts. Despite this solid grounding though, the price leaves a lot to be desired. This one is best saved for players in unique circumstances: those who lack a smartphone and are craving something in the genre.
"Tour the world as only a stick figure can, with techno pop and death-defying obstacles.
Who knew controlling a little stick figure on a bike would be this fun? Spicysoft’s Bike Rider DX for the 3DS is a simple enough game: help your racer pedal to the goal post while avoiding every obstacle that comes your way. It’s almost the type of game you’d expect for free as a phone app, but Spicysoft manages to take the game further, combining colorful graphics with two modes and an extended amount of gameplay.", writes NintendoWorldReport.
