The catch? It’s filled with shameless adverts for the upcoming Prototype 2.
#EXCITEBIKE IPAD FREE#
Fortunately Activision has provided a solution for the thrifty out there – a free version, renamed ProtoSlice. Quality comes with a price in this instance though – it costs £1.49. Slice SD is highly regarded by mobile gamers, beaming away on the App Store with a 5/5 review score. It does border on being a little too simple and easy, but that doesn’t stop it being fun and thoroughly entertaining.
Everything about Bike Baron looks lovely, even the menu and credit screens ooze brilliance, and the Baron’s lovely ginger cat adds a bag of charm to the proceedings. The game itself is basically an advanced Excitebike though (accelerating and tilting your bike back and forward), so the controls needn’t be particularly complex. On screen virtual control pads generally aren’t the greatest solution ever, but Bike Baron manages to stick a handful of virtual buttons on the screen, and still remains impressively playable.
The best mobile games generally make use of simple touching and tapping controls, or dragging and swiping across the screen. Adam has been admiring Bike Baron and mulling over Atari’s use of the Asteroid’s license, whilst Matt slices Activision’s Prototype advert/game and Jake praises something.
Perhaps to keep you occupied whilst on the bus to your local games store or sitting near the mail box. A few of you might still be interested in some mobile gaming though.
