It didn't have to blow. Oh sure it's odd that they expect you to peddle a bike with your hands, but the motion and gameplay is actually quite fun.
So why does it blow? It blows because I don't get to spend my time peddling and steering and watching my opponents to see when to draft and when to overtake. It blows because I spend all my time trying to peddle slowly because my hearts keep dropping. It seems like no matter what I do, the moment I start to have any fun there's sweat pouring off my dude and I'm at risk of stopping cold in my tracks. Wouldn't a far better guage of running out of breath be... oh I don't know, when you actually run out of breath!?
And if the notion was to make it so grandpa could play too, then why not just give us an option? it'd be fine if I could turn it off and play the game the way I'd like to.
As it stands, I'll occasionally give it another go, but biking will easily be the least played out of all the games. Because as far as I can tell, it's the only one that spends most of the time not letting you play it.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
