Motocross Hero

Five minutes on Motocross Hero is enough time to gun it across the desert, clip your rear wheel into a rival, and watch them go down while you keep gunning for the finish. That's the whole rhythm of the game: race, dodge, wreck, repeat.

The desert track is full of potholes and cracks wide enough to swallow your front wheel, so you're constantly reading the ground a few seconds ahead. Miss the read and you're picking your bike back up. Read it right and you're using that same rear wheel to knock opponents clean off theirs.

It plays right in the browser on desktop or mobile, no download needed, so a quick race fits into whatever five minutes you've actually got. If you're into Motorcycle games with a physics feel, or want more of the same after this, Moto X3M and Deadly Descent are worth a spin too.

It sits comfortably among Driving games on the physics side of things - less about clean laps, more about staying upright while everyone else tries not to.

Race your dirt bike across the desert track and beat your opponents to the finish while staying on two wheels.

Steer through the course and dodge obstacles like potholes and large cracks - hit one and you'll go down. Use your rear motorbike wheel to knock rivals off their bikes as you pass them.

Don't just aim for speed. Watch the ground a beat ahead so you can react to obstacles before they're under your front wheel, and look for chances to bump opponents when you're alongside them.
