=== Mobile Game Review - Motor World: Bike Factory - Management - 3/10 ===

     Motor World: Bike Factory is a very fun game. Or at least... the idea is very fun. I've played this game before, back when it first came out actually. This game is a sibling to the game it's based off of by the same company called Motor World: Car Factory.

The gameplay is nice and easy: pick a vehicle to build, click the vehicle to start building, click the vehicle again and again each time the next part is ready to be built until the vehicle is done, then wait for an amount of time until the vehicle gets sold for a profit. As you progress through the game, you can use dollars to buy better workers who work faster and/or are more efficient. You also unlock new vehicles which require more work points to finish and get sold for a higher profit. This gameplay is so simple, yet so much fun!

The energy resource in this game which lets you do work is donuts. Each worker has a certain supply of work points which must be refilled using a donut every time they run out. Donuts can be acquired by waiting for them to refill over time, or sometimes you'll find them while working on vehicles. You can also sometimes find mystery cards which can give you random bonuses such as refilling your donuts or allowing you to construct a vehicle for free rather than paying for it.

Now, for the observant people out there, you'll notice that I'm talking good about this game, but im only giving it 3/10. The reason for this is because I genuinely do love the gameplay of the original game (and this one because it's the same), but there are a few downsides to this game in particular.

First, the gameplay is the same; there's no difference between this game and the original Motor World: Car Factory other than this one is building bikes instead of cars. Also, this may have changed since last I played, but the total vehicle options are fewer than in the other game. The second reason I'm giving this game such a low score, is because I really wanted to get back into it, but upon downloading it and playing it once again... it seems to now be swamped with advertisements! I could happily waste tons of time playing this game continuously before, but now I have to watch a 30 second advertisement every time I finish constructing a bike! Maybe I could live with this with bikes that take longer to build, but when you're making really cheap and fast to build bikes... you end up watching more advertisements than gameplay.

*****
     I've now given the game a proper chance and played through the beginning tutorial phase until I've gotten past that and a little further beyond. Unfortunately the game hasn't gotten any better. I did have a ton of fun while I was without internet and playing the game... because it wasn't able to give me tons of advertisements every time I close a menu. Realistically though... who's going to turn off their internet every time they want to play a game? Not to mention the fact that the game crashed after half of the advertisements as well! So unfortunately, as much as I wanted to give this game a higher score, it's just too buggy and in your face to enjoy.

So in summary, Motor World: Bike Factory is not a bad game. It is however already done almost exactly the same, and the amount of advertisements really kills the fun of playing the game, almost to the point where the game is unplayable. ~ Kyle Welykholowa

Racing

     Why is it that so many people get so excited to watch racing? Don't get me wrong, I think powerful and fast vehicles are pretty cool, but cars are just so common-place to me that I don't find them to be very interesting. If I were to get myself past that first hurdle of vehicle boredom and then actually watch a race go on, I would then wonder why I'm watching bodies of metal, plastic, and rubber go around a track over 100 times for the next few hours.

     Something about watching engines rev around a track really gets some people to be quite excited, but if it's not the vehicles... what is it? It could be an endurance game; it does take a long time to go around a track 100 times and if you go too fast you'll ruin your car. So does that mean the entertainment is in watching drivers try to gauge how far they can take their vehicle before it needs to be fixed? Something tells me that's not quite right...

     There must be some kind of strategy behind racing, right? I haven't a clue what sort of strategy there is behind turning a wheel left and right and putting the pedal to the metal. Oh alright, I do understand that you have to practice to learn how hard to turn and how much to speed up and slow down for every turn. You also need to learn to shift gears at the right time and properly. But... why would people be interested in watching racing for that reason? I mean... you can't exactly see the driver doing what they're doing from the stands.

     I'm pretty convinced the real reason is because everybody wants to see a fiery car crash. I mean, maybe not... but that's probably why I would watch it if I did. Because I would want to see a fiery car crash. I'm sure there's more important things than that, but what other reason would there be to watch such a sport unless you're really into cars. As a nerd, I'm not too much into cars; I only know what I need to know to get from point A to point B not much more than that. Cars are a bit of a mystery to me in all honesty and I'm not really sure why someone would want to race them.

Anyways, have a great day everybody! ^_^
