BMX Backflips 2, the sequel to the widely praised Flash game is here!!

Game Info/Structure:

Released within a year or 2 ago, the sequel to one of the most praised Flash games to hit the internet came out and in full swing, BMX Backflips 2! The first BMX game dominated on the internet for many months for its crazy addiction and eagerness to be played over and over again. But it's the sequel that really packs-a-punch as an incredible Flash game all over the internet due to the massive improvements made to it to make it even more addicting for the original game's fans. But there is a couple things with the second that are the same as the first, including the story: there is none! Also the character remains the same: a mysterious biker (the only difference with this biker is that he looks different!) The game was designed by the same guy that created the original: David Thorburn, the game has been praised for it's many improvements, only a few can be explained (due to the amount of them). The first and major thing players will notice is the amount of challenges (which you can choose!) from in the game, which is well over the amount of challenges offered in the original game. Another feature is the ability to upload your score to the global leader board and compare your score with people on the other side of the world! Also with the challenges the player has the ability to choose a challenge over and over again without restarting the game!

What Others Think:

"Arguably one of Teagames' best and most popular games gets the one-up treatment with BMX Backflips 2.You can expect to find the same silky-smooth motion, animation and physics in this version, as well as new tasks to complete for each new level. What has changed is there is now a level selection screen with which to choose the level you wish to play in any order, and even repeat the ones you enjoy most. Control is still with the arrow keys: up and down for peddling forward and back; left to lean back; right to lean forward. Use space to brake.

To master these excellent BMX Flash games, you must learn to lean back while peddling just enough to lift the front wheel slightly off the ground. Doing so gives you the added speed necessary to jump over chasms and climb up steep inclines. Balance is key, as you don't want to wind up on your head and lose a life. You begin with five (5) lives, and when you have used them all the game is over.

Analysis: I found only minor complaints with this version. First, a player may not exit a level once it has begun. There were times that I found myself beginning the same level again when I thought I had chosen differently. An exit button would have been nice to allow the player to correct the error before continuing. Secondly, the high score table is rendered meaningless by players' scores that are no longer comparable. Since a player may now play any level of choice, achieving a high score may be as easy as repeating a single level one has mastered until a high score is achieved.

David has made one of his greatest games even better by opening up the levels and granting freedom of choice. This has the added benefit of making the game accessible to the casual gamer not interested in completing the whole game. Pair that with all-new levels of brilliant design and what you end up with is an all-new BMX Backflips game that surpasses the original in almost every way. If you enjoy this BMX game, be sure not to miss the original, BMX Backflips, and a variation on the theme, BMX Star, and all the rest of Dave's excellent games on his Teagames.com website." - Jay, www.jayisgames.com


My Point of View:

I was extremely impressed with all of the ways the game was improved from the original and kudos to that! The challenges in the game offer more fun and game playing time then the original as well, but for me this game also gets boring at a fast rate and for that it is another game in which I play usually when I am bored out of my mind... But overall the game can be generally fun to play at first,  and then it becomes something to play once and a while. But if I had the choice of either playing the original or this game I would have to go with the sequel of course! But to me this isn't such a good game that I praise it and play it whenever I can, instead it has just become for me to pass the time, but it's still good so I give it an 8/10 and a 4/5.
