Critical Reception
IGN rated version 2.0 of the iOS port of Bike or Die 2 as "decent". The game's value for money, range of visual options and large number of player-created levels and was praised. The trial-and-error gameplay was criticized, due to the "floaty" physics of the bike and the fustration of having to restart a level after making a mistake. It was observed that slow, patient problem-solving is required to progress, rather than the speed required in other racing games. However, less than a month after the IGN review, Bike or Die was updated with a new "Save and Resume" feature that allows a player to restart the level from a previous save point so that they do not have to start a level from the beginning each time they die. This was done to reduce the frustration that newer players felt.
