subject: Differences And Similarities Of Bmx Games Online [print this page] With the number of BMX bike fans increasing day by day, followers of the sport flock to the Internet in search for related media in order to take their love of the game a step further. Among the available media, fans will probably find plenty of videos, articles, images, but best of all BMX games online. Being able to ride a virtual BMX bike is the closest a fan will be from actually riding one on the half pipe. BMX games online have become so popular, bike fans are already familiar with most of them in the never ending search for the latest and best made BMX multimedia application they can find. Who can blame them; it will surely take a while before an eager fan comes across a game he likes.
Although all BMX games online are different from each other, having their own unique characteristics, some features remain constant in all game titles. For example, most BMX games online are free to play for as long as you want, no money is ever requested in order to play these games. Another feature they have in common is that they are all made in the Flash platform from Adobe, and take up around two to four megabytes of disk space, depending on the overall complexity and detail of the application. From this point on, these games will begin to vary, having unique attributes that separate them from each other. Some traits will add to the quality and overall experience of playing the game, while others will go in detriment of the application.
One of the features which is most likely to set the game apart from the rest is the developers attention to the use of controls while riding the virtual bike. It is very unlikely, if not unheard of, that a BMX online game uses the mouse to control the bike, or perform the Freestyle BMX stunts. It has become common knowledge that keyboard keys are best when attempting to control a virtual bike online. Games will set themselves apart in what keys they chose to maneuver, and the mechanics of using these keys. For example, in BMX Ghost, the player is required to press the right arrow key in order to move forward, while in BMX Racing LDS the player is required to press the up and down arrow keys continuously in order to simulate a pedaling like action like the used by your feet when pedaling a real bike.
Another aspect of BMX games online likely to make them stand out is the amount of work spent on the terrain. Some games like BMX Backflips include simple but enticing terrains where the player can maneuver his bike in all kinds of different forms. Other game titles like BMX Stunt Island go all out by creating a virtual world where the player can ride his bike in a whole new world. Thus, whatever your taste in BMX games online there is something for everyone.
