SUMMARY: BMX your way to unlocking tracks and characters

BMX Cunning Stunt 3D is a BMX biking game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The game is more of an arcade game than a simulation that will put players behind the bars of a BMX biker as he does tricks and tries to rack up as many points as possible. The game is not tilt based but instead uses sides of the screen to steer the biker in different directions. Once a jump is hit, pressing the center of the screen at the right time will give the player an extra boost off the jump and much more airtime to pull off tricks.

There are 3 different modes that can be played in the game. There is the pro challenge ride which is basically the campaign mode that will allow you to unlock different characters and levels. There is the free play mode where players can practice and there is the Pass & Play mode which gives 2 players the chance to compete head to head for the most points by taking turns. Though the game has some good tricks, the variety found in the game is slim. I couldn\'t help but feel that it was a bit linear in its gameplay. The camera and tricks happen very sequentially and make for a straight and not very fluid game. The music in the game also grew a bit annoying as a track would repeat itself over and over again with very little variety.

So in the long run, this game is a pass for me. It was fun for a little bit as I was trying to get used to the style and learn everything, but once you know everything, the game feels slow and linear. I suggest passing.
