Do you know someone with a minibike? Do you hate the sound it makes, but still want to ride one secretely? Come on in!
Pocketbike Racer is a lot like games such as Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing. You pick a character (including people like The King, Brooke Burke, Whopper Jr., and more), pick a bike (almost all the same except color differences), pick a track (there are some very interesting ones), pick a mode (basically race or attack mode), and then start!
The loading times are surprisingly long for a $4 game, but once the game actually finishes loading the gameplay is surprisingly great! The racing-mode can be a ton of fun if you're playing with friends (either on Xbox Live or Split-screen), but a bit lacking playing solo (unless you're practicing to demolish friends...which is acceptable). Basically there are small checkpoints around the track that aren't necessary targets, but they boost up your Bar. The smaller the checkpoint (and therefore harder to hit) the darker color (greens and blues are easy but the reds are huge bar boosts), but once you get your bar up to where you want you have 2 options. You can A) Use your bar to "Turbo boost" which is a HUGE boost but at times hard to control (because of large speed increase), or B) Attack. At different points in the bar you have the ability to use powers (such as Shields or weapons). It's great in race mode, but the place it shines is Battle mode.
In battle mode all the characters start spread around the track and it's the same basic premise as race, but without the finish line. You can ride around the track (not just the track but anywhere you want) and drive through the checkpoints. You use your bar in this mode to attack everyone around you and you can win by either getting the most points at the time limit, or setting a point limit and achieving it.
Overall this game is a lot of fun and the best $4 you'll spend on your Xbox 360. Everyone should spend the time to enjoy a value meal at BK and get a $4 game with it!
