Interesting title, questions before buying
looks nice and funny and similar to art of rally but it seems expensive.

is it worth the actual price 19,99 €?

how long is it?

has it replay value?

I've also got art of rally, although I had lonely mountains first - and I love both of them

the thing that will determine whether you like LM will be if you can handle the camera - it's a make or break for most people with the lack of a chase view really turning some people off

if you don't mind the camera - and I happen to like it as a refreshing change - then there's a lot of beautiful content

initially you'll be racing to beat the clock and unlock new bikes and gear, balancing speed with crashes on each stage. As you get more into it you'll probably do more free-styling, trying to find the quickest way to the bottom without stages and checkpoints

the true joy comes from finding a new shortcut that shaves seconds off your PB on a stage

I think it's worth the full price, and for a little more you can get another mountain as DLC

Thanks for the input. I think I don't mind the camera. I will observe it a while and then purchase it even at the current price because the balance between content and price seems fair. Although I have a POS to work on, it would be wise to wait for the next sale. I'm struggling :)

Also bought it for reduced price, for me it was intensive ~23 hours of gameplay, I saw much worser games for such price and this game is above all creative and refreshing. I'll write something more about K+M controls because this is sth interesting for potential players. So generally I didn't use keyboard even for a moment, maybe it was possible to make some nice times, but it's a game demanding great precision. So I had only one option, which I didn't know from other games - mouse only controls. Your mouse cursor is defining direction of bike movement and distance from bike define its speed - so you have 100% control over 360 degrees of your bike and its speed.
About results: I didn't play very long this game, first 12+ hours was learning and finding best bike, but from third mountain on I tried seriously (still only around 1 hour per trail) making good times. And playing with mouse gave me 8 results between 84th and 26th place in overall classification for speedruns with checkpoints. At 8 most difficult tracks imho. Game is really for everyone, but its a very sportslike experience, demands concentration and great patience.

I love it too. But I said so many times "F*ck" in my native language last few days I won't repeat this very often.
