Wreck and ride in a visceral and ground-breaking evolution of the 2.5D action arcade genre, fusing destructive, octane-fueled, motorbike combat and death-defying stunt gameplay, set in a visually stylized retro future world. Switch between 4 characters, each with unique abilities, as you wreak havoc fighting deadly Junkbots! Skillfully wreck havoc as you master the realistic physics based controls of your sweet ride. Destroy Junkbots with a barrage of special abilities and weaponry like wheel-mounted saw blades, harpoon guns, handlebar mounted mini guns or flame spewing exhausts. The more creative the destruction the better, ride up walls, backflip of the side of buildings and crush some Junkbots mid-air whilst riding upside down.

Just recently played it. I found the concept exciting - I love bikes and games, and together they are just great, the style is cool, but controls really need more simplicity, or an optional arcade mode in settings.
What comes to my mind is a combined keys for an action, e.g.: ASD - turns you around. A/D for speed/slow, W for jumps, S for actions.

Pros: Awesome game with superb new concept, good graphics n visuals, cool bikes n characters, and great fun mechanics/stunts. Missions/Levels are well designed with high replay value. Game is very addictive and super fun once you get hold onto the controls.
Cons: Playing with keyboard is hard and clunky. Though you can configure keys to your liking still it is not as friendly as a Controller. It takes time to get used to the game control scheme. Even with a Controller, at times, it gets clunky and frustrating. I wish I could reconfigure buttons on Controller as well. I also notice frequent lag on few levels. Sometimes key presses won't register and miss your actions.

Actually not that bad, but it's floaty and janky, can be solved with an old controller, or just some time to get use to the KB controls which took me a bit but I got it down. Was pretty fun from then on. It's a fun little game with an interesting concept and I do like the graphics and overall atmosphere. Good time when you're in the mood for such a game as this.

It has something going for it. But the controls are bad and the story is not that great. Cookie cutter characters. "The fearless leader", "'The boy genius".

This is barely a recommend. It is hard to recommend but some people will enjoy it. It shows some of its age. The controls are okay but man some of the levels just suck. most levels are fun but they decided to do the stupid thing of a runaway or chase level and it completely sucks.
There are times that you just know that the QA must have taken a sick month since some places they should have reigned in some of the ideas. One is this part where you are running away upwards from a robot. THere are parts you cannot see enough to react so you will die since you fail onto the robot which is, of course, kills that character. There are no checkpoints so you see the same scene it feels like 30+ times and it is annoying. It should have had some checkpoints like there are in EVERY SINGLE OTHER PART OF THE GAME!!!!!
Again barely a recommend. I started playing again since I was wanting to try it again and got the ending. The ending also kinda sucks and the last boss was not made for this game whatsoever.

This game has great potential. The graphics are nice, you drive a motorbike and can perform a lot of moves and actions. The controls work very well when playing with a controller.
The only complaint I would post is that after a certain point at the beginning (the drill), it becomes too difficult to progress. So I was not able to complete most of the game because it became to difficult. Maybe the developers expected too much skill of the players.

A very different platformer from everything that I was used to. Instead of running around jumping from A to B, you drive a bike jumping from A to B. Cool story, cool setting and cool characters. It's a fun game, but if you don't have a controller, you'd better skip it. All the fun goes away when playing with a keyboard.
