Moto X Mayhem

Moto X Mayhem (99 cents) is a fun physics-based side-scrolling game that’s been popular at the iTunes store in recent weeks, but I’ve been reluctant to write about it. In the game, you use your accelerometer to lean forward or back, and press the screen to accelerate as you navigate your way through a 2D course. You get five lives to try to complete seven different courses in a row to finish the game. The graphics are cartoon-smooth and the controls are excellent, but once you’ve played a few games, you’ll be able to finish fairly easily.

I was reluctant to write about this game because I used to play what I assume was the original–a free game called TG Motocross–at Teagames.com a couple of years ago. At the time, I was obsessed with getting the best times and thought it was a great free time waster (and so was the sequel), but now that it’s on the iPhone, I feel as if it isn’t enough. Teagames hasn’t had any new games for quite awhile, so maybe this iPhone game is its new endeavor. In any case, Moto X Mayhem is quite a good game, but if it added more levels or a way to pull off tricks, I would feel better recommending it at 99 cents. I guess the good news is that you can try it online before you buy.
