Reviews for BMX Kidz (#601)

Review by Stack on 06 Nov 2013 (Rating: 3)

Lets start with the bads, the playing area is monochrome, cramped and small, and soundless (very odd without any spot fx at all) and the game, ostensibly a Kickstart variant, is in fact an uncomfortably close copy of Milk Race from Mastertronic the previous year - only not as good.This time you power on Coke instead of Milk.
Milk Race suffered from the player and competitor sprites being the same. So does this.
However it is quite well balanced and quite fun to play and the jumps feel like flight when you pull them off.
On balance, not all bad.

A bad example of a genre with much better titles available for the Spectrum - shoddy graphics, almost no sound, repetitive and far too easy action. It's not utter trash, but there is absolutely nothing here that has not been done much better before, even sticking to budget games.

I don't dislike it. Side view BMX racing game, with jumps and cans of drink to pick up.

2,75/5

Another BMX game, this time a racing game, where you pick up energy drinks along the way, similar to Milk Race.
It's not bad, just plain average, a bit too easy and simple. You should expect a better game from 1988 and from Firebird house, right? Also the red monochrome setting is too dark, what were they trying to do, make players fall asleep?
