One of the most straightforward, addictive, and overall fun bike racing games.

This game is just plain fun. It allows you to play a set of 5 race tracks either alone or against other riders that continuously respawn for added challenge. The fact that your opponents respawn is a nice touch because it means that you are racing against the clock, not just other riders. Your opponents are put in place to slow you down as much as possible by getting in your way or making you wreck. The ability to cut people off and make them wreck is much more fun than it should be. There are few things funnier to watch than cutting in front of another rider and having him run into the back of you making him go end over end. Your bike comes equipped with normal speed and boost. But you have to be careful about using the boost because it will make your bike overheat causing you to have to pull off the track and let it cool down, losing valuable time. There is also no "end" to the game, meaning that once you reach the last track, you will just keep re-racing through the tracks. This is fun because you can go as long as you want, but ultimatly there is no "goal" to be reached.
