great game. Sometimes it is worth paying to the developer get soem money and can produce new games.

hiiii all users i enjoy this site.

Ilove the game but to bad i missed it but i played it before
on an other website

well i tried it... its weird, when you tilt you just keep spinning and its gravity is a little messed up. i just cant play it.

The game changed my screen resolution and did NOT restore it when I exited the game. Game is not worth the hassle of resetting things manaully, and who knows what other things may have been changed? I'm running Vista Home Premium on widescreen LCD monitor, which used to be set at 1900x1200. Now I can only go to 1900x1080. Thanks GAOTD for making games available, I'm just sorry I didn't use Returnil (a much valued previous offering!) before trying this game. Hand Made Games goes on my list of companies to never trust again.

Sorry for the delay in moderating the last few comments. I had to finally go to bed about 5 hours before the giveaway ended, then couldn't log onto the site this morning until I'd rebooted my modem and router; (something amiss there as I have to do it regularly these days).

Great review watcher, I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding this developer. They/he/she are getting better. I wish they would comment here, or at least leave some contact as there's no web site that I know of. I'd gladly communicate suggestions to this developer as they have certainly given us a lot of their games over the past 18 months. I've actually liked a few of the space orientated ones, and today’s was a keeper, (but only because was able to get through a level reasonably easy). The other game I mentioned above is extremely hard, but has loads of extras such as an online score board that can be filters down to the country. Plus there are save/restore points along each route, so that you don't have to restart a level from the beginning, though the levels aren’t long enough for my preference (neither are Trials 2, but the are much harder to beat).

Good point about the control options. As well as a joy tick I think a game pad option may be a good idea. Xpadder may do the trick, unfortunately as mentioned elsewhere (in the forums I think), the latest version is no longer freeware. There may be earlier versions still around on some of the download sites, but I don't know whether these would now be considered ‘not freeware'?

I managed to get a copy while it was still freeware, though I've hardly had call to use it as I don't mind using the keyboard controls even though for many games it's rather awkward. I'd love a good steering wheel set up as using the keyboard for most racing games isn't a good idea as you always get all or nothing when turning corners rather than the gradual turning you get with a decent wheel controller; (not that it's applicable to today’s giveaway). :)

This game is a bit buggy. Sometimes it lost the front wheel inside of a rock, sometimes the bike fires like a gun (when not using nitro).

I am very happy to see there is at least more then one game a week. I must say i really missed the time i spent researching the games you guys posted for free here. also reading up on what others thought about the games. there is no other site like this that i know of and thats a good thing. I own mmorpg's and am a avid video game junky, even at the age of 40. I love to test and research them. THIS SITE RULES

As for this game today. Im not going to jump on the band wagon about the controls (i also dont like arrow directed games). BUT im willing to try anything that is trusted and free. The no uninstall is GREAT. means it's a stand alone game and isnt installed on any regestery. Like it was stated earlyer it is great to put on a flash drive and take anywere. THAT alone has me sold on keeping the game. Is nice tro have something you can take with you and not have to worry about installing ANYWERE cause there is no installing. SWEET LOVE IT.

Only thing i would like to see and may not be possible as free games, BUT would love to see some games compatible with a joystick. ONCE AGAIN GREAT SITE LOVE IT KEEP IT UP.

Finally got around to testing. For once, I'm going to keep this one from this developer. Not that I'm in love with it. But I think this one has a little better feel for us novices, and I'd hazard a guess that feel is practically everything in this type of game. Also, I can confirm - no surprise, of course - that's it's fully portable.

I actually managed to get to the 3rd level before I decided to hold on to it and write the review. I'd say it's a 50-50. Weight of the first bike seems to be better selected, and, if you don't have the feel down pat from other games, then weight equals stability, and that's your best friend here. You also have the added challenge of staying upright, unlike this developers previous 2 vehicle games. Here, you flip, you die. To paraphrase Whiterabbit for anyone new here, the roll left/roll right keys refer to direction on the screen. Basically, roll left puts weight on your back wheel, right on your front. Roll left might also help a little with traction. In essence, it's like your rider shifting weight in mid air to keep the bike upright.

I think this developer is close, but, like WR says, people would only pay for it if they didn't know there was anything better out there. This outing seems to be improved for novices, but I'm not sure if you can survive if pros can burn through it in an hour. At least make it 2 hours. :)

I still want to encourage this developer, but you still need a little more tinkering before you have a representative product. And, though I'm not saying the graphics are anywhere near the last word, they are reasonably attractive and show some effort. But your games still look better than they play, so you still need to put a little more into them.

7zip sfx & max compression from 114MB = 30,5MB. Next time compress with 7zip.

I am not to fond of having to use arrow keys.But was nice to see another game appear so soon.Please,please i would love to get some adventure games(point and click)3rd person would be nice.Also i have never seen a find the differences game,that would be nice too.
Thanks GGOTD Cathy

YAY GOTD! Sooooooo great to have games on here again! :) Makes me very happy! :) Thanks for your generosity Handmade Games! :)

Games, games, ....
Glad there are some back :-)))

You know what? I actually like this game. Apparently, Hand Made Games updated their engine. The end result is better looking graphics, manageable times, and everything working better. I could do without the HDR, though. Loading speed isn't terrible, though could be faster. The game's not split into tiny pieces, unlike the previous Monster Truck games. However, the size is waaaaaaaaaay too huge.

Overall, this is a good improvement on the games using their previous engine. Thumbs up.

P. S. If you'd like to tweak your bike, go into the Data\Descriptions folder. Those files are standart XMLs.

I try all day to dnload..... something is wrong on your side...

@ everyone:

link in #15 by "Bobby1" is the same link deleted by mods in yesterdays giveaway (by commenter #5, "Bob"), due to it leading to a virus/malware site...

WR/mods, please check & delete if necessary...

use caution, everyone...several community members posted warnings/complaints yesterday...

Jon, just delete the folder you unpacked the game into. There simply is no need for an uninstaller!

Its actually goo it doesn't register with system for me cuz i stick it on a flash drive and p[lay everywhere

Thanks for the effort but this is total rubbish, controls are unresponsive, graphics are terrible, and the urge to continue playing leaves after the first event.

Thumbs down! I'm sure it's a wonderful game, but,

1. It's an arrow keys game. (hate em!)

2. Does not register itself on your system, which means;

3. No Uninstall!

This game is amazing! Installs Fast! Cool GFX!

edit:

This guy posted the link to the movie site yesterday and first thing this morning as well; both were deletedas soon a sI saw them, but unfortunately missed this one until now, sorry if anyone got stung - Link deleted... would have done it earlier, but fell asleep this afternoon. :( Thanks for the heads up Violet.

Soooooooooooooooo good to see the games back on a regular basis!!

I played yesterdays game till completion in one sitting! but I'll pass on this one because I only play mouse click games.

I love GAOTD Games!

thanks heaps for comments left, they are imformative and to me are very important so I can decide if game is suitable & worth the download Thanks Whiterabbit-uk for your efforts & GGOTD for posting a giveaway

Danke GGAOTD

Cheers GGAOTD. Downloaded and installation went smoothly, unlike my driving skills, but it is a keeper for me.
Xmoto fan, thanks for the link, will try later.

#6, We must be using the wrong driving school:-D

Hi YuppyGuy, the game should have been installed to the following location:

C:\Games\SuperMotocross.

There is no uninstaller nor any registry entries, so you should be able to delete the game by removing the folder from the above location.

awww! :lol:

midori today I will download, not because of wb's review but yours! LOL!

Thanks for the link to the freeware version Xmoto fan. looks cool. :lol:

Thanks, GGAOTD! I only took a "test drive," and I usually fail miserably at this type of game, but as wrabbit mentioned, it's pretty easy. Hey, if I can get to the finish line, it's easy. Sure, I flipped a lot, but I'll keep this one because I can play it! And thanks for the review and alternatives, wrabbit, as usual. :)

Я играю в русскою бесплатную версию без ограничений :) Кому надо дам ссылку.

Edited by Moderator:

Translated using Google Translator - I play Russian free version without any restrictions Whom should give the link.

If the game is genuinely freeware please post it here. If it isn't accepted by the spam filter (most posts with links tend to go to be removed) please post it over in the forums. Thank you.

I must say, this is a pretty well-presented game and all, but there's a game called "Xmoto" which is just so much better. It's 100% free, you can make and download user-made levels, the physics are much better, etc etc etc.

http://xmoto.tuxfamily.org/

You can download Xmoto there and see all the features it has to offer. Bear in mind that although it's 2D, Xmoto is the BEST motorcross game I've played - and I've tried a fair few.

Okay.. I didn't read the whole text...

Okay...This game is freeware. Officially. I've already won all GOLD trophies and all bikes... And why should I pay for this game??? Both games (freeware and this one) are the same...
I don't understand it.. -.-°

Today’s game is 44.3Mb and when installed expands to 114Mb. In case you’re wondering what makes this game so large (for an arcade game). 106.9Mb of this is due to the graphics (i.e. Meshes and Textures). The game comes with an partial installer; that is it installs to C:/Games/Super Motocross by default (you can change the installation path during the install wizard set up), but no shortcut is installed. You’ll have to create your own shortcuts. To make a desktop shortcut you just need to right click on the games executable and select Send To then scroll down to Desktop (Create Shortcut).. If you want a Start menu shortcut, please go to the game discussion forums where you’ll find a sticky thread that tells you how to create one.


This is similar to the Monster Truck Trials that was given away earlier this summer. Though we’re now looking at a trial bike rather than a truck plus the settings are different. The menus and overall feel of the game is similar. Basically you ride a motocross bike instead of a truck. You have to win a bronze trophy at very least to unlock the next level, of which there are 15 to complete, and to unlock new bikes of which there are three more to unlock (with names like Masterbike 2000, Magnum Striker and Titanium Pro). You have to win certain trophies, though I found winning the gold trophy unlocked the second bike after only one game and the third bike was unlock on the second level when I attained gold standard. The difference between the bikes is the power rating; which enables you to get up steeper hills easier, especially from a standing start. Though I didn't realise I'd unlocked the bikes until I'd played the third level. Though winning the fourth level at gold standard didn't unlock the fourth bike. The levels definitely get harder from level three onwards, with steeper hills to climb and gullies to jump, which if you don't take at the right speed you won't make. I finally faltered in my quest to beat each level on gold from the first try after the fourth level :lol:. Though I never used the nitro facility (because I'd forgotten about it, lol)

Controls:

• Roll Left – Left arrow
• Roll Right – Right arrow
• Move Forwards – Up arrow
• Move Back/break– Down arrow
• Use Nitro – Space
• Pause – Esc



System Requirements:


Operating system………MS Windows 2000/XP/Vista
CPU……………………Pentium 1GHz or higher
System RAM ………….256MB
Video RAM…………....64MB or above



Images;:



You can see all the screencaptures I took on one page HERE and a slide show HERE


Conclusion:


The handling of the bike was virtually the same as the Monster Truck nitro game that we got back in July. The only difference was the graphics. I liked the overall look of the game (apart from the odd stripes that appeared occasionally, which you can see in many of the screenshots I took), but I already have a really good trials bike emulator called Trials 2: Second Edition that is vastly superior to this game. I’ll be keeping it though for some light relief as it’s a much easier game than Trials 2, which I find almost impossible to beat. I was able to progress through 3 levels at gold standard with o second retries even though I was relatively slow. You just have to make sure you use the left and right arrows to steady yourself during the jumps (which helps to stop you over balancing)

Overall, if you don’t have any other games of this type, it’s okay for free and should give you some measure of enjoyment, but I think purists to this genre will find this too easy, the graphics a little to flung together and the game far too short. At the very most there’s an hours worth of game play and that’s if you need to repeat each level at least once or twice.

With many arcade games available for much less than the asking price I think it’s over priced at $9.95 and would be better sold at $4.50 at the most. I do like this sort of game so am rather generous with my scoring giving this a 5.5 out of 10 for the physics aspect of the game.

I've posted this review with some changes in the Forums . you can see some of the screenshots rather than links to click, which is much better IMO.


Other useful information:

Music:

There are four MP3 tracks that you can replace if you don’t like the menu and in game music.. All you need to do is go to C:\Games\Super Motocross\\Data\Music; select the four MP3’s you want to use from your collection and rename the four files you use to Level1, level2, level3 (no spaces) and menu.

Other Games:



You can get a reasonable quad bike racing game called ATV Quadro Racing HERE It’s available free from Gametop.

Just a note of caution about Gametop. The site now has a yellow rating with Site Advisor. Some of their games do try to install toolbars and hijack your browsers home page, but both can be avoided by making sure the boxes are unchecked during installation. The site also seems to have ramped up their pop ups, so make sure your pop up blocker is active if you want to avoid those annoying pop ups. Once the games are installed you will get the sites home page opening up when you shut the games down, but there is no in game advertising and effectively you’re getting free commercial arcade games :)

Another free bike racing game called Moto Racing (which I think is better than the one being given away for free today), can be downloaded from HERE, though it doesn’t have the physics emulation that Super Motocross has. Monster Truck Trials the previous giveaway that is similar to today’s game giveaway, is also available for free HERE, though it’s had a name change to Monster Truck Challenge.


Here’s a couple more online trials bike games that can be played full screen called Bike Master, which you can find HERE and Trial bike Pro which you can get HERE.
If you don't mind paying for your games, you can get a couple of excellent 3D Motocross games (that are rather old, but still look good and play well) called Motocross Mania and Motocross Madness 2 that allow you to move around a vast open world, and have several different modes of play. You can pick up either of the games below for less than todays giveaway if you look for them on the net. I've seen Motocross Madness 2 (the better of the two games) for less than $5 on Play.com, though you may have to buy a second hand one.
