REVIEW : Biker Garage: Mechanic Simulator (PC)
Biker Garage: Mechanic Simulator enables you to be a top bike mechanic. Your main aim is to be the best technician you can, with loads of really happy customers.
You start your adventure in a small home workshop which you will need to grow to become the best motorcycle workshop in the world. Test your bikes on a track, assure the quality of your repairs and enhance bike performance with fine-tuning.
Not only do you customize motorcycles at the request of customers, but you can also create your dream motorcycle. Find a bike at the junkyard or buy it in the store and then change it beyond recognition. Use various parts, beginning with tyres and ending with a muffler.
When you grow your business, you will open new features like the auction system, racing, and further skills for more difficult tasks.
Features:
· 15 motorcycles!
· Regular and tricky requests from clients.
· Repairs system (buy, sell, mount, unmount components).
· Paint parts.
· Auction system (buy, restore & sell motorcycles for profit).
· Develop your skills.
· Expand your garage.
· Motorcycle customization.
· Junkyard.
· Test your bikes on the 1/4 mile track!
· Endless gameplay – clients always come back with new problems
I’ve always had respect for motorcycles and motorcyclists, and even though I’ve never owned a motorcycle myself, I figure this is the next best thing.
While the game is still young, it has a lot of potentials. For starters, the graphics are fine the way they are. They don’t need to be hyper-realistic or groundbreaking. The look and atmosphere of the garage look well done.
The gameplay is basic at best; you take in clients and work on their issues. Stripping bikes apart, repair cracked parts, buying and selling parts, and reassembling the bike are all easy and quick.
One useful concept that should’ve been added is when you click the middle mouse button, it adds the part to your list. This should also add a list function to the buying parts to make shopping a little bit faster.
One complaint I have is that there’s (update perhaps?) no radio in the shop so you can listen to your music. The soundtrack isn’t terrible but gets old quick.
Another issue is that the camera when doing the diagnose, assemble, disassemble and service is a bit wonky. You use the arrow keys to move the camera and while functional, it’s a little cumbersome. One suggestion is when the arrow isn’t on a part and you hold the left mouse button, use that to move the camera.
While not a complaint, it’s more of a suggestion. A glossary of the parts and what they do would be helpful, especially to those who want to get a jump start in pursuing a career as a bike mechanic.
