Have you ever played ExciteBike? Maybe I'm showing my age, but I loved ExciteBike that came out in 1985 by NES. Mad Skills Motocross 2 reminds me allot of ExciteBike except way better with updated graphics and heck it runs on a cell phone not a big gaming console at the arcade stores. Thank goodness for technology!
Mad Skills Motocross 2 is an exciting, fun and easy to pick up to play game that is enjoyable and has long lasting appeal. The controls are easy to use although the rocket boosters you get shown on left screen should really be placed on the right side of the screen to make it easier to tap without lifting off the gas. Do you like tricks? Well this game allows you to pull of some cool flips, but be careful as you could end up wasting precious time to beat out your opponent.
When you load up the game you have a choice to download the Hi-Res Pack of about 15mb of data that gives you a slight boost in graphics. If your away from wifi it's not enough to worry about when gaming on the go. There are lots of hilly terrain to cover during a race against your friends best run or the AI. It can get pretty challenging and fun when trying to always one up your buddies. I mentioned rockets, but for the most part you don't need to buy any as you do unlock faster bikes as you progress.
Games now days especially free ones are littered with ads and expensive power ups. However the ads are not overwhelming in this free game and the power ups of rockets don't seem to be needed for the most part. You might need to replay the level again to get past it, but it is doable without rocket power ups.
Mad Skills Motocross 2 deserves a look from lovers of motorcycle racing games. Because of the nice graphics, free to download, fun to play and challenge your friends I give this game a
8 out of 10!
