So I went to Burger King today again to get my 2nd Xbox 360 game: Pocketbike Racer. The game supports up to 4 players on 1 console and up to 8 players on Xbox Live. Apparently, all these games work on the original Xbox too, which I found rather interesting.
It’s a lot like Mario Kart, much more than I originally imagined. Of course it’s not as pretty or as cute, might even be a bit scary and dark given “the King” is there. Basically, you drive around on these pocket bikes and there’s 3 types of bikes to choose from: 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc (similar to Mario Kart). There’s also 4 game types to choose from:
- Standard Race
- Battle Royale
- Cone Trial
- Ultimate Time Trial
Standard Race is pretty simple. You race with 7 other competitors to see who wins. Along the way, you can increase your boost bar by touching these lighted areas. There’s no box you break to get specials, but as you charge your boost bar, you can exchange them for things such as boost, shield, bombs, firecrackers, rockets, and the disruptor (the thing that got me; which is reversing all the controls).
Battle Royale sounds just like the movie, where you go around and blow up opponents.
Cone Trial is where you skillfully go around cones I guess…
Ultimate Time Trial… I don’t have to explain this right?
Most of the stuff are still locked, but the 10 minutes I spent playing it, I found it rather enjoyable.
I’m not sure if I’ll go back and get the final game: Sneak King. It just doesn’t sound that fun, sneaking up to people to give them a burger, then sneaking away. Plus the fact that means I’ll have to eat another value meal from Burger King.
