What’s It About?

Like most racing games, BIKE UNCHAINED 2 doesn't have a story. Instead, you compete in a series of events so you can unlock more events to race in. Except that unlike many racing games, you're not competing against the computer or other people in real-time. Instead, you're up against people's previous runs on those tracks. Racing is also somewhat simple, since it's just about tapping and holding the screen at the right time to accelerate, make turns, and cross the finish line.

If you can get past the blatant attempts to get you to drink Red Bull, you might enjoy this engaging downhill dirt bike racing game. In Bike Unchained 2, you have to tap and hold the screen at just the right time to make sure your on-screen rider pedals when necessary, cruises along when that's called for, and sticks the landings, all while competing in a downhill dirt bike race. You're hoping to do this faster than the previous runs of other people the game has chosen as your competition for any particular round. The game boasts a good variety of bumpy tracks, as well as numerous rewards to keep you playing so that you can get those super-cool pedals.

But while this is largely just a matter of correctly identifying the terrain and tapping or holding the screen accordingly, it's somewhat cheapened by the blatant attempts to get you to drink Red Bull. Not only do the real pro bikers who mentor you all wear Red Bull hats, but they encourage you to drink it. Doing so in the game gives you a boost (with your performance, not with your winnings or fake sponsorship in the game). Still, unless you really hate Red Bull, or things that are overly commercial, Bike Unchained 2 is a fun ride down a steep, bumpy hill.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about advertising. This game's not only made by Red Bull, but encourages you to drink that energy drink also. Does it make you want to drink Red Bull? Do you think that's why the company made this game?

  • Does it make sense to spend any money on Bike Unchained 2? If not, does that make you feel like you should watch a bunch of the ads instead?
