The gameplay for this game is fantastic, similar to Trials games. However it shoves the fact that it’s a mobile game really deep down your throat.
The menus present you with 10 chances per minute to either pay them money or watch an ad in exchange for: skipping a level, reviving when you crash, getting a new color scheme, progress towards a new bike, double XP, more lives, nitro, spinning a prize wheel, becoming a VIP, obtaining gems, turning on “ace ride”, claiming extra idle income, claiming extra prizes from race loot, turbo jumps, claiming extra coins from jumps.
The least obtrusive one is ironically the only ad they ever force you to see, the billboards that follow you around in game. For god’s sake the VIP membership costs $5 per week, more than a AAA MMORPG.
I get what it’s like for developers trying to turn a profit, and they at least never force you to sit through an ad other than the billboards which don’t interrupt your gameplay, but it’s just exhausting and embarrassing to be bombarded with all this stuff. If you are like me and prefer to pay once upfront for a game, it’s a big pill to swallow. Ultimately for me it’s not worth tiptoeing around to get to the gameplay, especially knowing you’re making the game harder for yourself.
