Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
In Line Rider, the sled-stealing scumbag Chaz is up to no good and only you, as the clever and cunning Bosh, can defeat him. For Bosh to save his true love Bailey, players must solve over 40 mind-bending puzzles created by the #1 Line Rider player in the world, TechDawg. [Genius Products]

IGN
Line Rider's core concept is great, and this sequel does pretty much what it sets out to do: monetize the free online toy with added gameplay, visuals, and music.

GamePro
Not only can you not just doodle to your heart's content, but when you get near the limit they post annoying signage all over the drawing field as a warning to be feared, and the help tips up top get replaced with messages that tell you to watch it, buster.

GameSpot
If you have the patience to learn the subtleties of sled-track design, there is a lot of value in this little package.

Line Rider 2 has something for everyone, but the game’s main story mode is quite demanding.

The trouble with Line Rider 2 is that while it's not short of options, the core idea can wear tin quite quickly. [Dec 2008, p.81]

GameZone
Line Rider 2 is a unique experience for the DS that is only limited by a challenging interface. Yet once you get a decent track designed and watch your Rider sled away with reckless abandonment the excitement and fun kicks in.

Nintendo Power
Some players may still have the most fun with the basic freestyle mode, though, drawing a gigantic mess of loop-the-loops and seeing if the poor sledder survives them.(He usually doesn't.) [Nov 2008, p.102]

Modojo
Not only is Story Mode deep and engaging, but Puzzle Creation adds infinite possibilities. Thirty bucks is still too much to spend, but considering the value, you'll have fun if you do.

Cheat Code Central
It's not a bad game; there are some good ideas here, and once you get a handle on the creation mechanics, then it's a fairly satisfying game.

As a creative tool Unbound is great, but as a game it feels a little sparse.

You're better off playing the online Line Rider, which gives you the same experience at no cost whatsoever.

Worth Playing
Those who don't want to bother with creating their own artwork in this rather particular form, however, may wish to skip the title. Those who aren't sure either way should probably give the online original a try and decide from that.

Edge Magazine
One of the most robust online community setups to grace Nintendo’s handheld, enabling users to link the DS game to a web profile, where they can browse and queue tracks for later download. [Dec 2008, p.99]

GameCritics
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.

NintendoWorldReport
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.
