MotoAce for Windows

This space-efficient motocross game earns points for its ease of use, but the repetitve action and tiny number of courses mean the fun doesn't last long. In MotoAce, you control a biker who must succesfully navigate an obstacle course as quickly as possible.

The game is a snap to learn, requiring you to use only two arrow keys and the spacebar. The demo offers street, sand, and grass courses, but with the difficulty level set to Easy, we blew through the three available levels in under five minutes. Gameplay becomes a bit tougher once you set MotoAce to the medium difficulty, but the challenge is still easily surmountable. Though the graphics and sound aren't mind-blowing, they don't detract from the overall experience.

MotoAce lets you play in full-screen mode and adjust the volume, but you can't choose to play with your mouse or skip ahead courses. Because the trial version is so simple to master, we think this game better suits younger children than older players.
