[h1]A motorcycle repair sim where you paint, repair, and fix up customer bikes for cash.[/h1]
[h1]TL;DR - If you’ve played Car Mechanic, this is identical to that game, but with motorcycles, albeit less polished. You manage your own shop and fulfil customer orders of replacing parts, upgrading, and painting bikes.[/h1]
The tutorial walks you through the daily going ons of your shop and how to do each task you might be faced with. The phone is where you get your jobs and occasional texts (that are quite amusing), the computer is where you order parts, take out a loan, check what parts you have in stock, and the radio is where you can access your custom tunes.
Also worth noting is a neat app ‘game’ on the phone. It’s an Egg and it’s basically a clicker game. Click the egg until it turns into a full grown chicken. Clicking ever loving heck out of that chicken nets you a golden egg which you can sell in the app for $10. If you’re short on cash and can click like the wind, getting a few golden eggs might be in your future.
The computer and phone wallpapers can be changed, which I thought was pretty cool. Although the phone wallpaper wouldn’t change for me, but the computer did. On the other side is the paint shop where you have to color match the parts you’re to install. This process might sound easy, but it’s actually quite tedious. More on that below.
Personally, I’m all for Euro-pop synth, but the music in this game makes me feel like I’m sporting rainbow dreads, wearing a neon bikini, covered in glitter, and fist pumping glow sticks. Not that that’s a bad thing, the tunes ARE catchy, but I had to upload my own as I could take only so much Euro-pop synth in one sitting. :P Loading up your tunes is simple. There are instructions in the options menu, load up your tunes, then add them to the playlist.
Anyway, the game is pretty straightforward. You select the jobs you want to complete from your phone, look over the bike and check what parts are needed, then head over to the computer to order the part, take it to the paint shop to match the color, and then disassemble the part to be replaced and pop on the new one. Simple enough.
The only area where I saw a problem was the paint shop. You have to be exact with the color or you will incur a penalty. I don’t usually have the patience to sit there and ride the struggle bus until I figure out the color. That's why there a nifty option to pay $100 to match the color instantly. Now, this is assuming you HAVE the money. Otherwise, you’ll have to match the color or look around the shop for hidden money. I’ve found a few bucks lying around just looking around the shop.
The only things I see wrong are that some parts are really, really, REALLY small. Like some nuts and bolts are tiny and I have to zoom in until I can see the glitter in the paint job until I can grab at it with my mouse. Also worth noting, the controls take a bit of getting used to. I think I spent more time zooming in and out because it took me a bit to get the hang of it. It’s a little like Car Mechanic in that regard, but in CM, it’s easier to move around the car.
[h1]Overall[/h1]
I recommend Motorbike Garage Mechanic Simulator. It’s fun and I played a lot of Car Mechanic, so I knew what to expect from this game. It could be a bit more polished and tiny parts could be made easier to get to, but as it is, it’s fun and I enjoyed it.
