City Moto Racer

Being a motorcycle rider has its perks, but it also comes with a bit of danger, as well as a few other inconveniences in regards to weather protection and comfort. However, few things come close to the sensation of speed and freedom you experience on a motorbike, which is why there are millions of people who prefer to move around this way.

City Moto Racer is an arcade game in which you get to ride a motorcycle through traffic and do your best to avoid crashes. The game is an obvious mobile port, given the fact that the introductory screen even shows you that you need to tilt your phone in order to steer, but since the mechanics are very simple, it doesn’t make a difference that you use a keyboard to steer instead.

In short, the goal is to keep avoiding the traffic while collecting gold coins and various power-ups, in order to acquire currency and be able to afford better bikes. It takes a long time to gather enough gold, on the other hand, and since the gameplay gets repetitive fairly quickly, you might not even make it to unlock the cheapest bike. On the other hand, the default one is pretty nice as well.

Although you have limited control over the steering, given the fact that it’s incremental, you can at least slow down a bit whenever you need to perform more difficult maneuvers. On top of that, it’s also possible to use NO2 to accelerate, which allows you to cover ground more quickly and improve your score. The power-ups come in handy as well, especially those that make it easier to collect gold coins.

As for the graphics, they are as basic as you would expect from a mobile port, but they are the last thing you need to worry about in this regard. Everything is kept as simple as possible, including the cars and the environment, but you hardly have any time to notice all this. The music can get on your nerves after a while, but they are always free to mute it.

In the end, City Moto Racer is hardly the kind of game that keeps you coming back for more hour after hour, but it can provide you with a quick dose of fun when you have nothing better to do. You might even improve your reflexes a little bit.
