Bike Baron

When a game ‘borrows’ elements from two different titles, does it still count as a clone? Either way, Bike Baron is three parts Trials HD to one partJoe Danger, and it barely has an original bone in its body.

That it owes so much to those games leaves a slightly sour taste in the mouth, but taken purely on its own merits Bike Baron is an undeniably enjoyable way to waste a weekend.

While many clones pale in comparison with their inspirations, developer Mountain Sheep gets the crucial stuff mostly right: restarts are instantaneous, controls are solid, and the physics are almost perfect.
