Review: Motorbike is a physics-based motorcycle game with over 100 original tracks, thousands of online tracks and even a track editor to create your very own challenges. It emphasises on balance, skill, and control rather than all-out speed to tackle what I can only describe as obstacle tracks. There will be epic explosions, deadly crashes and life-ending injuries that often cannot be avoided.

The controls of this game are very, very similar to Trials HD on Xbox 360. When you get used to the controls and game style it feels great and plays like a dream. But it will take you hundreds of failed attempts to do some levels meaning you will need sheer grit and determination to do them. The physics code works extremely well and once you really nail the controls you will start to realise that all the levels are not as impossible as they might first seem. This is one of those games that will make you throw the gamepad at the wall, but also keep you addicted always knowing that if you just try again you might do it. While the VR aspect is more of an add-on it still looks good, but no better than playing it on a 2D screen.
