    The attempt to make Line Rider into a DS game fails thanks to fiddly controls and the fact it's not as fun or convenient as the web version.

    So the popular Internet game has failed to make a smooth transition to Nintendo’s handheld, providing a frustrating experience with the only real highlight being its level creation mode.

    For a game where the sole mechanic is to draw lines, it’s ironic that not long after starting, you’ll feel like the ink is already starting to run dry.

    Line Rider 2: Unbound is a cute idea, but in my opinion it doesn't have the chops or the longevity to become a successful handheld title.

    Line Rider 2’s graphics are unimpressive to say the least; I've seen better-looking Flash games. Some of the musical tracks are catchy, but it's not enough to save the experience. Just bear in mind that the internet game is free, folks.

    "Line Rider Unbound: 2" is an awesome concept. That's the best thing you will hear from me. The game has a broken story mode nobody can beat,"Line Rider Unbound: 2" is an awesome concept. That's the best thing you will hear from me. The game has a broken story mode nobody can beat, is based mainly around luck. This game would be awesome as a download, but you can only carry about nine games at a time in your DS case. Do you really want THIS to be one of them? Freestyle is fun, but gets old fast. Not much to do, and probably not worth five dollars. Physics lovers might like it, but nobody else will play past an hour. Too many bugs, not enough features and a very forgettable execution. I just still can't bring myself to quite hate it though. It could be because of how clever the concept was, but nevertheless- Just not worth over $5.00.… Full Review »

    I have this game. BUT this is a game that is a stupid ripoff. I think the PC version is Way better than this. The story mode is not catchy.I have this game. BUT this is a game that is a stupid ripoff. I think the PC version is Way better than this. The story mode is not catchy. the freestyle mode is fun but you can't do much, because it is hard to decorate, you have a curtain amount of lines in one area (which is the dumbest thing in games), your zoomed out VERY far, the goal tricks aren't very exiting, have a amount of tracks you can save (which means you need to delete some of your saved tracks), and the sound is kind of quiet and need to turn it up really high in order to here the sound effects. Even thought this is $5.00, it is STILL a rip off. NEVER give this to a line rider fan, because it might change there mind of liking line rider games anymore.… Full Review »
