The fun with 
most physics-based sports game is seeing how far you can fling your onscreen persona when you crash. That’s true in Bike Baron, but the game isn’t limited to just that aspect. The courses are entertaining. There’s plenty of diversity. And the difficulty ramps up at a good pace. The level editor is a nice addition to supplement the included 40 levels, but downloading the levels others have created is overly tricky (you have to go to a company blog to find codes for levels, then download them blind). Overall, this is a silly, fun game that proves to be a fun diversion, though not something that will become an obsession for most.

App Review: Stickman BMX
Physics-based games — even platformers 
like Stickman BMX — are incredibly dependent on the controls. If they’re done well, the games can be tons of fun. If they’re not, frustration often sets in. Unfortunately, they’re not spectacular with this app. The game takes a page from Sega’s Sonic series, in that it constantly moves you forward in a difficult series of courses, but to conquer them, you’re required to constantly press a pedal button, which is a quick way to get a sore wrist. It’s also directly responsible for many lost games if you’re not pressing fast enough. The game isn’t terrible, though. There are plenty of levels to explore and loads of replayability to gather all the medals. But ultimately, the control issues are likely to convince you to stop playing long before you get to that point.
