Bikez II Review

Bikez II delivers a chaotic blend of high-speed motorcycle action and explosive gunplay that promises adrenaline-fueled entertainment but struggles to maintain consistent quality. This crime-themed shooter puts players on roaring bikes through urban environments where trigger-happy chaos reigns supreme. The core loop of completing missions to earn cash for increasingly destructive weaponry creates moments of simple, visceral satisfaction that shine through the game's technical imperfections.

Fast-Paced Carnage with Flaws

The game's strongest moments come during its pursuit and elimination missions, where the combination of motorcycle maneuvering and explosive firepower creates genuinely thrilling sequences. The slow-motion effects heighten these cinematic moments, transforming routine shootouts into dramatic action set pieces. However, this momentum shatters during the mandatory bike-to-bike combat sequences that feel fundamentally broken. Opponents frequently glitch into environmental objects, turning what should be intense duels into frustrating exercises in waiting for AI to untangle itself from walls or obstacles.

The regular pursuit and kill-missions are great fun, but the on-bike battles are horrible. They're practically impossible to beat unless your opponent gets stuck in a wall.

Visuals and Atmosphere

Bikez II's 3D environments capture the gritty aesthetic of urban crime dramas with competent lighting and detailed cityscapes that establish an immersive setting. The visual presentation stands as one of the game's stronger elements, creating a convincing backdrop for the vehicular mayhem. Sound design complements the experience with roaring engines and satisfying weapon reports, though these technical merits can't compensate for the fundamental gameplay frustrations. The controversial morality system that rewards players for killing innocent pedestrians adds a dark edge to the chaos, though this feature feels more like an edgy gimmick than a meaningful gameplay mechanic.

Short-Lived Satisfaction

Initial hours deliver mindless entertainment that serves as decent distraction for players seeking uncomplicated action. The weapon upgrade system provides tangible progression goals, with more powerful firearms noticeably changing mission approaches. Yet this enjoyment proves fleeting as repetitive mission structures and persistent technical issues erode the experience. The game fails to evolve beyond its initial premise, making extended play sessions feel increasingly like a chore rather than an engaging challenge. While some players find moments of genuine enjoyment, the overall experience leaves most feeling underwhelmed by the end.

I like it, but its not the best game. You could play for a little while, but will ultimately find it unsatisfactory.

Blood, big guns and bikez! Bikez II is a fast paced action game which involves riding a motorbike and shooting people... sometimes innocent people. The object of Bikez is to complete missions (with the help of some heavy fire power) so that you can get money (and use it to make your heavy fire power all the more heavy). Killing innocent citizens also earns you money. The 3D graphics are good but the gameplay is lacking. The slow motion option gives an almost movie like appearance.

Bikez II is a whirlwind of blood and crime, which unfortunately is stained by poor 3D programming. For every cool part, there is a disappointing segment that will put you off. The regular pursuit and kill-missions are great fun, but the on-bike battles are horrible. They're practically impossible to beat unless your opponent gets stuck in a wall (which happens very often). But it's still an okay game, with some neat features. You could play for a little while, but will ultimately find it unsatisfactory. A disappointing release from the stellar Villegames.

I really wanted to rate it a 75 but it would not let me. This game is ok for people who are bored. I like it, but its not the best game in here.
