What’s It About?
Players guide their motorcycle rider avatar with a simple set of controls. Pressing the right side of the screen accelerates him forward, while touching the left side applies the breaks. To adjust the biker's angle in the air, simply tilt your phone or tablet right or left to achieve a quality landing. Other bikes are unlockable after you've accomplished certain stunts, and sometimes "liked" portions of the game on Facebook.
Is It Any Good?
With a wide variety of worlds in which to test yourself and intuitive controls, Bike Race Free will be a wonderful surprise to fans of the genre. It's forgiving for newcomers, but has a series of challenging tracks. And it offers a tremendous number of tracks for fans to explore.
The multiplayer mode, where players attempt to best their opponent's time on a course, is well-done, though the chat functionality might be concerning to parents. (It can be turned off, but that's easily reversed by a determined child.) The graphics might be simple and the sounds could be better, but overall this is an enjoyable nod to the world of dirt biking.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
