"It's Good to be the King!"

User Rating: 8 | Pocketbike Racer X360
As I inserted the humble disk into the XBOX 360, my expectations were already low. I turned it on and the funny main screen greeted me. The King is driving a pocketbike through outrageous locales (provided by a background greenscreen). A snazzy little background song lulled me in. I jumped in head-first, ready to fully explore this title. The racing is simply amazing. Simple controls with quirky bikes makes things fresh. Although rather easy, the AI will sometimes lull you in to a false sense of security. The characters are funny (the Subservient Chicken? Come on! Ya gotta laugh!) and the taunts keep the atmosphere light. Each track is unique and has oodles of hidden shortcuts(and some glitches). The game even has a meager character customization feature. The multiple game modes are each great for their own reasons (personal favorite is the batte). The tournaments are fun and unlock faster, quicker, or tighter bikes. The graphics are crisp and luscious for an extreme budget title. All-in-all a fantastic buy.

Last Words: A Must for XBOX owners. An extremely cheap price for a slightly diminished version of Mario Kart. I strongly recommend it. I still find myself playing it whenever I can.
