    The funny and oddly ironic association with Pocketbike Racer is the simple fact that it is a legitimately fun game. pocketbike offers a few ludicrous playable characters, featuring a whopper, the King himself, and showcasing the amazing racing talents of Brook Burke; in all her mediocre glory. five reasonably interesting courses, ranging from a construction building to a King's The funny and oddly ironic association with Pocketbike Racer is the simple fact that it is a legitimately fun game. pocketbike offers a few ludicrous playable characters, featuring a whopper, the King himself, and showcasing the amazing racing talents of Brook Burke; in all her mediocre glory. five reasonably interesting courses, ranging from a construction building to a King's garden, cover the whole of Pocketbike. The online play is a fun addition as well, and quite warming and approachable. In short, pocketbike racing is fun, and though it cannot rival the likes of many in its genre, it is still entirely enjoyable. PBR is worth owning, and you have another month to obtain the greatest deal next to the Lousiana Purchase.… Expand

    The best BK game. This game is super silly but nothing else. The racing is ok and the same with the tracks. Brook Burke is in this game. Pocket Bike Racer is defently worth the few bucks you payed to get it.

    Pocketbike Racer is an enjoyable yet generic racer. It does not do anything new to the racing genre, although it offers many types of game modes for a $5 game. I had fun with it and liked the ability to make your own character. Unfortunately, no one is ever on the online mode so it is hard to play with others online. However, playing locally with friends is a blast. The game was definitelyPocketbike Racer is an enjoyable yet generic racer.

The game was definitely made to be played with friends as it is not as fun when I am playing by myself. For $5, I had a great time with this game and if you find it on eBay or Amazon you should get it if you are looking for a fun racing game for a cheap price. Unfortunately, it is completely unoriginal, but for its price that doesn't matter.… Expand

    With the lackluster graphics and unoriginal modes, Pocketbike Racer may be easy to dismiss as an easy cash in but it has some general fun if you're willing to go through some mediocre sections.

It borrows from Mario Kart by pitting 8 players in a race where they use special powerups to either reach the finish line or win a battle. It's a nice setup but the controls are just too constricted. Many times I found turning and drifting would be too loose or too restricted. Speaking of too loose, this game has very spotty physics. It doesn't have weight and it can turn some races into frustrating challenges. That said there is some fun to be had. Sparks of the Mario Kart days fill you if you can get the game to work in your favor, but that doesn't say much for a game that is generally plain and blocky. Character designs are outrageous, and the multiplayer isn't worth bothering with. Among the Burger King games, this is the best of the three, but that doesn't mean you should expect a triple A experience even for a $3 game.… Expand

    For a car Tracer it's not bad it's simple fun and with multiple players can definitely be chaotic and interesting nothing to write home about but it's not a total waste of time you will actually find fun in this game and there are different modes to try out with different rules so it does help out with the replayability of the game

    It's basically a worse (but funnier) version of Mario Kart that has Burger King characters.

    Pocketbike Racer is a bad kart-racing game that's often broken.

    The stop-and-go action, the occasional jumps, and the sheer ridiculousness of what you're taking part in lends every race a manic aspect that elicits more giggles than groans. [Holiday 2006, p.78]

    It gets stale fairly quickly, but Pocketbike Racer does very well for what it is.
