Racing Moto

 It's quite rare to find free games that really make the best of the accelerometer that most Android phones have, often driving games with them fail to really work as you expect and in fact it seems an under-utilised tool. Racing Moto however manages to use the accelerometer to create one of the more addictive driving games on the Android which brings an arcade feel to the phone and a high speed enjoyment.

You control the rider and bike on a long stretch of road and the controls are really simple. You press down on the screen to go faster and tilt the phone left and right to steer the biker past cars on the road. The further you get the more points you get and you a bonus for going faster as well.

Whilst the control are the simple and the graphics are more then acceptable the game really stands out for not only how well it uses the accelerometer but also for how addictive it is. The game has the same sort of addictive qualities as those old arcade machines that we'd pile more and more money into almost like a gaming crack addict.

Whilst the game it's self will have you hooked the only real problem are the pretty basic sound effects and maybe the fact the game isn't actually that original. We've all played similar sort of flash games, though the controlling method is a bit different to the norm on these sorts of games and it is genuinely enjoyable even if it doesn't really push the boundaries of gaming.

Addictiveness-8/10 Arcade like addictiveness
Controls-9/10 Really simple...though it's used wonderfully.
Graphics-7/10 Nice, and although not highly detailed they are sharp enough to see whats actually happening
Sounds-3/10 Rather annoying bike sounds that you will end up turning off sooner rather than later.
Originality-5/10 It's an "avoid the traffic" game, not new but the control method is a nice new slant on it.

Total score 32/50

Although it's addictive the life span seems to be rather limited and although you'll enjoy it in bursts you'll likely go back to it once a week for a few runs rather than sit hooked to it for a day or two. The game is enjoyable fun to play and is hopefully a game that shows the others how to use the accelerometer properly.

Game mark B+
