Classic NES Series: Excitebike
Review by ingo4
"An awesome game goes portable!"
Introduction- A classic NES game has come to the GBA! If you liked the original, then you'll LOVE this one! I mean, c' mon. It's portable excitebike. There's, no beating it! Take it everywhere you go and everybody will be very jealous. They even made the carts a gray color in honor of the original NES cartridges.
Gameplay- The gameplay on excitebike is just like the original. Nothing has changed with the controls. Up, down, left, and right control your racer. A is gas and B is turbo. There are many different obstacles in your way such as ramps, rough dirt, turbos, and even the other racers as they try to knock you off your bike or try to hog the track! You can, however, turn the tables and swerve in front, of them causing them to crash! It's very funny but be careful, because if you crash you'll have to run back to your bike which could cost you valuable time. 10/10
Storyline- Well, there is no story in excitebike. It's just pure racing goodness. I don't think anyone would appreciate nintendo screwing up a classing game with some sort of stupid story line. Would you? Plus, if they did it wouldn't be a NES classic!
Graphics/Sound-The graphics and sounds are exactly the same as you remember them. From the tune at the main screen, to the rumble and buzz of your bike going into turbo. The tune at the main menu will be stuck in your head for days!10/10
Play Time/Replayability- This game has excellent playback qualities because you can the highest time on a track and then challenge a friend. Or you can even build your own track to race the computer, free run, or challenge your friends! The build your own track mode lets you place any obstacles in the game on your very own track! From ramps to dirt to bumps.10/10
Final Recommendations: This game rocks! If you liked the original version, then you'll love this one! It will keep you addicted and wanting to come back for more. With awesome gameplay and sweet playback value, this game is a must-have.
