For anyone reading this, this is NOT a rip-off of Free Rider HD, if you were smart enough to read Free Rider HD's description, it starts out by mentioning that it is the sequel to this game. This came out before, and Free Rider HD was its successor, so neither one is a rip-off of the other. This is the first game, Free Rider HD is the sequel. To remove it, just go to the webstore page and scroll to the bottom.

Laggy, but if it was possible for me to do anything, I think it would've been a fun game so 2 stars, I guess.
