Review: UK Scooter Tour

Review: UK scooter tour

This follows on from the globe trotting top down game of the same name, this time on a scooter, and all in the UK. I wouldn't call it a sequel, just a better game - and it proves that a trip to Skegness or Bridlington tops Milan or Ecuador anyday*.

Other than a few non-lethal barriers, you can't stop the bike once you start moving, so all you can control is fast, slow and jump. Each stage is all on one screen. As you move off the right, you wrap around and down a level. This is not only a good way to avoid scrolling or distracting flip screens, but also a way of filling each screen like a work of art and allowing physics-bending jumps between platforms.

* though the less said about Rhyl the better.

There will be more than one way to complete a stage, but in general it feels like you are following beautifully timed choreography, dancing under and over the obstacles. At least that's how it feels when you get it right, and you won't always do that because this game is hard (POKE 32027,x jumps to different levels if you want a trainer).

Gabriel Amore's udgs are the star of the show. What that man can't do with 64 pixels isn't worth doing.

This is an amazing game. My only gripe is that Morecambe doesn't feature an Eric Morecambe statue. Here's my attempt, I supect Gab could do better...
