Review XMoto
XMoto is an entertaining game that, as its name suggests, refers to a series of challenges in which we will have to get on a motorcycle and try to reach the goal beyond the obstacles that stand in the way. The attraction of the case is that the scenarios and problems we can face are varied; from this, we will have to develop an extraordinary ability to leave them behind.
At the same time, XMoto is one of those games that take particular advantage of the laws of physics to justify each of the movements we make, so at first; it might be a little challenging to adapt to each of the commands. In our experience, we spent quite a while performing all kinds of tests and pirouettes until we finally got the hang of it, but from then on, the fun was endless.
Anyway, you have to remember that the XMoto character controls are straightforward in theory since we have to press up when we want to accelerate, down when we want to brake, left to rotate counterclockwise, and of course, right to turn clockwise. Meanwhile, with the space bar, you can change your direction.
To reach this goal, you must fulfill specific objectives, although these almost always involve collecting the strawberries that appear in different areas of the screen. At a certain point, you will also see a sunflower appear, but don't despair, as this means that you have reached the end of the stage where you were moving.
Getting to the sunflower is not easy because you will see mine along the way, and if you step on them, your character will lose a lot of time and lives. You must also watch out for possible hits against the ground or the wall. At the same time, you'll see that XMoto's initial circuits are pretty simple, but as you advance, paying attention to the obstacles along with each curve becomes a real headache.
One aspect we liked about this title is that it has its own Map Editor or Level Editor, thanks to which we can create screens to have fun with it as we most want. The exciting thing is that when you have created your screens, you can also share them in the game's community so that other users can try them.
If you are wondering if you can take advantage of XMoto to play with your friends, you should know that it is an entertainment platform that allows up to four players to participate in each challenge it proposes. In this way, you can choose whether you want to play alone, accompanied by a single player, or face several players simultaneously trying to find out which one is the fastest of them all.
For the rest, the game has more than 100 levels in total, so we can be sure that we can be entertained for a while until we get to overcome each of the difficulties presented to us, in increasing order, until the last ones. The best of all is that while you leave behind levels and you are adding trophies, you will find that the speed at which the game develops also grows, making it much more complicated.
And if we talk about the number of levels, it is impossible not to consider each offer's enormous variety. Indeed, you will find beach scenarios, others in the mountains, and some in the middle of the green prairie. There is also no shortage of landscapes in the middle of the snow, and this ability of the developers to propose varied environments is undoubtedly one of the aspects we liked the most in this title.
Some unique levels differ because they involve a series of Olympic stadiums and scenarios that players may know from previous appearances in Sonic The Hedgehog.
Regarding the interface and graphics of XMoto, we have to say that we liked them because although they are far from the definition that can offer us the last generation console for apparent reasons, it has its spirit well achieved. Although everything happens in two dimensions, the fun is assured thanks to the colorful music that generates an atmosphere of entertainment that passes without problems.
In summary, we can say that XMoto is an entertaining game of motocross in two dimensions, with a very particular aesthetic and an increasing difficulty that assures us good moments of entertainment if that is what we are looking for. It is a free alternative, so you lose nothing by trying it, especially if you love motorcycle games.
