Mad Skills BMX 2 Reviews

You get this game and you’re excited, ready to play. You start and WOW is that first day so fun! You think, “yeah, I’m having a blast and ready to keep going!”
Sorry folks, but unless you buy and buy and buy, this game blows. You have to upgrade your bike and buy rockets and get paired against opponents on levels so much higher than you, it’s shocking. Think you can squeeze through without paying a dime? Think again, suckers! All that stuff costs real money and barely does s$#t. I bought their “premium pack,” thinking MAYBE it would help a sista out - not a freaking chance. It was a pure waste and never have I wanted to get my money back on anything this darn much.
Play if you want, but I highly suggest that the second it stops being fun, delete it - any real $ you spend will literally be the biggest waste of $ you’ve spent in your life.

Listen.... There is nothing more frustrating than downloading a game to past the time, that has amazing graphics, but then in return obviously cheats so bad it makes you want to throw your phone across the room. Seriously guys, if you’re going to create a video game don’t make it so hard that you have to spend hundreds of dollars to make it fun. I would have rather paid $4.99 one time and enjoy the game instead of what you did here. I would’ve even shared the game and recommended it to friends and family members. Now you’re only going to get $1.00 and I’m uninstalling and not suggesting to anyone because it’s obvious what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to get people so frustrated that they just end up spending money to upgrade the bikes but that still won’t allow you to progress further through the game. You have created a way for the bike not to jump when the up button is pressed and the most annoying glitch is when you just go off a jump and hit the jump button you do a backflip for no reason. Even if you just bunny hop, backflip. This game is pure BS and it’s really sad because you can tell some put some time into the graphics but Someone driven by money coded the game to cheat. Someone drop the ball!

Alright this is a really fun game for about the first day or so, however as time goes the opponents get so impossibly hard to beat that you are going to have to do 2 things. One spend an unholy amount of time on this game to get good enough to beat the opponents and then two, spend a ridiculous amount of money to upgrade bike in the later stages. When you do spend let’s say 8 dollars to get this bike fully upgraded you then only beat around 3 more opponents with it before you need to buy another bike and fully upgrade that one with more of your own cash. Now I truly hate games that are impossible or very close to it without spending money, that is why I had to give one star. This is a cash cow that revolves around you getting addicted in the first stages and making gold purchases or things you have to buy with US dollars cheap but then they will slowly rise high and higher and then you just spent over 100 dollars on a stupid phone game. The original was better and more about racing and not some cash scheme so I’m not sure other than to make more money that this game was made.

I won’t lie when I first stared playing this game
It was really fun.... but now I see what ppl are talking about that complain on MadSkillsBMX2. It’s basically a bike race against the cpu with a lot of jumps and hills. You either have a down button for wheelies & landing then you have an up button for bunny hops and going off jumps. I noticed a trend on this game. If your are leading your dude starts going slower and starts messing up on the jumps. If your losing tho you’re hitting the jumps perfect and he is doing everything normal. The cpu ALWAYS passes you if you’re winning. Then when you lose an add pops up trying to get you to buy more coins and bikes. I know games aren’t sussposed to be easy and you’re not going to win every time but this is just ridiculous. Don’t believe just download MadSkillsBMX2 and wait to you go to the next level. You’ll see what I mean. Such a waste that they ruined such a promising game. Uninstalled!

Where do I start with this game Jesus. We can start by saying the first one was way better. The fact that you can’t even select a track if you just want to mess around and kill an hour is really stupid. If you want to do that you have to click on a difficulty setting and the game randomly picks a track for you WHY!!!! Another thing is that this game try’s to say that the bike makes you faster which in real life that is not the case. You can ride any bike and be fast. Each bike in the game has stats that include speed, jump, and pump which the stats should go to the rider selection instead of the bikes. The riders don’t even have stats, they’re just there to look good. It should be that the rider has the stats and the bike should just be for show, but unfortunately it’s not. I will say that this game did do some things better than the first. First off the npc that you race is actually decent and you have to actually try, which I like. Second I like the controls in this game it does feel smoother and a little easier but it would be cool if you had an option to go back and switch to the old style. All and all this game does kill at least 5 to 10 min but not an hour like everyone hoped. Hopefully this game maybe gets another sequel and maybe they can work on the big mistakes and maybe give us cool features like full customizable bikes, but who knows.

The game and visuals are good. However, when you get to a certain point you have to resort to making in game purchases. This is fine if it gets you far but the price points are high. When you get to certain bike you have to use gold to upgrade your bikes skill, which can only be bought with money(level upgrades only give you like 5 gold, when it takes 60 to upgrade the bike). I’m aggravated because I can’t beat the level and already poured money into the game to get my bike to this point. I refuse to buy anymore gold just to be able to beat the levels. You get stuck where you can’t hit the jumps right because your bike isn’t fast enough. I upgraded the last bike (gold and everything maxed out) but after reaching the last two levels of the next boss it became impossible to keep up. I refused to max out that bike because it wants gold to make it faster.

The game itself is fine, good graphics, could play for hours…BUT you will find yourself frustrated as all get out unless you are willing to drop some cash to “upgrade” your bike. New bikes cost you hundred of “gold bars” which you cannot earn during the course of the game. You have to buy them through in-app purchases. And the opponents get tougher and tougher, as you would expect, but they never make mistakes and ride the exact same run every single time, you find yourself running the same track over and over and restarting over and over until you nail a perfect run. I really wanted to keep this game and play it often, but I have already deleted it after one week.

This game is actually fun as long as you’re a beginner with a bottom line bike. But just like their MadSkillsMX game, you start getting smoked every race. No matter strong you build your current bike, your opponent will come from nowhere as you near the finish line and fly past you.
The only option is to ‘purchase’ gold bars so you can get rockets and upgrade. It doesn’t stop. Each upgrade you have to ‘buy’ more rockets or ‘buy’ more gold or you will be forever frustrated as you continue to lose, no matter how far out in front you get. Shameful. This game is just to get you to spend money and if you want to keep playing to the next level it’s MORE money. I deleted both BMX and MadSkillsMX. Pitiful.

It’s a fun game, controls well, and I feel that it could have been a bit. The problem is that it starts out easy and fun, then becomes a little challenging, the becomes way out of balance too quickly to where you can’t move on without paying. I’d be done with paying $1 or $2 here and there for an upgrade to help me move on. But you’ll reach a point where your current bike is fully upgraded, and you just can’t win. To buy the next bike up costs several hundred gold bars. But to buy the 500 gold bars I’d need will cost $20. That’s not reasonable for there not to be a way for me to earn that upgrade without paying $20. That alone has made me stop playing this game. It’s a shame too, because it really could have been great.

This has been a “go to” for me when I just want to waste a few minutes playing a fun game. This title was recently updated so I jumped in to see what might have changed. I was disappointed to see that the “quick play” in game dollar amounts were reduced drastically. On the hard selection the in game amount used to be $8000. Now, with the update, it was reduced to only $60. What gives???? I get that the developers would want to push players to buy the premium offerings but to give the “middle finger” to those of us who play casually is ridiculous. Because I don’t typically pay for in game purchases and seeing the amounts drop for non premium players, I will have to move on from this game and find something else that might replace this game as my favorite. In other words, I probably won’t be playing this game anymore.

When I heard Mad Skills was coming out with another BMX version I was excited. After playing the game for several hours I have really been disappointed with the gameplay. I have a fairly new iPad, IPadAir and the game plays very glitchy at times. It makes it almost unbearable and gives you a headache. I can not pin point the issue as it is comes and goes on different tracks and different backgrounds. It has potential, but not until the smoothness of the gameplay is corrected. I also dislike the all about the money aspect of the game, but I get the developers have to make money but I won’t buy anything. I’ll struggle through the ads and the extra time to make money in the game rather than spend money to unlock gold and bikes.

Was pretty good initial play. At times it is bit glitchy playing on new iPhone 8, on and off line. Also seems like the more I upgrade bikes jump and pump the slower I go and the shorter I can jump. Seriously, the more I upgrade jump I swear there is no change or it’s worse than before upgrade. I go back to levels I easily beat with lesser bike and have a very hard time jumping now. Speed is the only upgrade worth anything and now only way to upgrade speed is with gold. 80 gold pieces is just ridiculous. So, I’m about done with playing it after week and a half. Have been playing Mad Skills MX2 for about a year and still enjoy playing. MS BMX2 is wearing out quickly for me. Pretty much stuck with now way to upgrade speed and pump and jump upgrades seem to only hurt bikes performance.

I really appreciate that you guys put in the effort to make a second version but it is not up to par with the first one. I would be way happier and more satisfied if you would update the old one to make it compatible with modern devices. Back to this game, it’s an alright game but it is to Arcady. It is also about money now, not just track times or racing. You win money to buy new bikes and upgrade old ones to make them faster instead of it just being an even playing field, they are also rockets now to make it even more uneven. The lines are also more defined and less up to your discretion, there are buttons to jump and pump so you can’t control the power in a jump or pump like before. This means that you often over or under jump/pull/manual things. If you are under jumping something the only way to make it is to get a better faster bike with the in-game money (or you can buy it with real money). Moving on, this game also has ads, they aren’t overbearing but they are annoying. All together this just seems like a cash grab when people would be much happier with an updated first game.

In later part of the campaign bike upgrades become a bit overpriced, by which I mean upgrades require gold. I can understand why they chose to do this but unless you buy gold or make do with the upgrades you can afford or wait very patiently to level up and get more (which doesn’t always happen) it makes progression a pain. Can’t we get dedicated races to obtain gold easier like money challenge races? But besides that the game is a legitimately fun experience and not at all boring to play, if at times a bit annoying when you screw up the flow on the courses.

I’ve had all the mad skills games and I play this one everyday still. I’m currently at 18 million in-game cash and only like 34 gold. I’ve purchased everything I can and just keep getting more and more cash. Kinda pointless now. So if they can make gold purchasable with ingame currency, I can see the use in it for the players that have been playing for a long time now. Or the new track packs that are 100 gold, if they can make them buyable with cash too that would help lol great game though! I’ll still be playing it everyday.

I used to love this game I was division for multiple weeks. However these last five weeks of jam the track have been terrible and I have stopped playing this game I used to love it now I don’t. Bmx is a sport of one hardcore lap where everything needs to be perfect and fun these last tracks of been 3 to four laps and none of them have been fun I love short track trying to do a perfect fast lap but it is no fun doing three or four long long laps. I miss the old madskillz please fix your tracks.

I’ve played this game for years now. I’ve had around 5 guys/bikes. I’ve started over and worked my way back up to level 50. I’ve only spent a few bucks in the process. I only restart my guys because it gets to the point at level 50 I end up losing too many races to less ranked riders. Now, my new headache. I bought a new 2020 iPad Pro with huge screen for work and this game. Yes I like it that much. It played great for a few months. One day I woke up and I didn’t have any controls during race? No pause button? No rockets? Screen is just two bikes racing. Anyone else with such a problem?

I got this game a couple of days ago and I really like it, I’ve Been playing it pretty much non stop and it’s super fun and addicting but now as I’ve gotten better and faster and I’m jumping higher and farther so my character keeps hitting the finish line thing and falling off then I end up losing the race so if you could fix that one thing it would be greatly appreciated by me and probably others, if not thank you for making this game and it’s still a very good game.

This is a fun, addictive game. Keep in mind you will have to learn the tracks in order to progress, watching replays of other players will help you learn when to pump and how far to jump. My only complaint is that money is super easy to win, gold bars are not. While you can still upgrade certain items, it would be nice to see more outfits and bikes added as well as levels past 50. The weekly jams are awesome as well, just would like to be able to do something with all the money I get from participating in the weekly jams. On a side note, currently can’t play because it crashes after last update.

First of all let me just say that all the people who say that this game is to hard are wrong. I have been playing this game for a month and yes it’s hard but that’s what the game is about. If it was easy then it would be boring. This game takes a while to complete each level and that is completely fine. Second of all the people that say that you have to spend a lot of money on this game are wrong. I have gotten pretty far without having to spend a single penny. This game is awesome. Must get!
