Twisted Pixel's Lococycle stars a bike that knows Jiu-jitsu

A new breed of Road Warrior

When first we heard about Twisted Pixel's Lococycle, we weren't that impressed. Then we realised it was actually the reveal video we were unimpressed with: a minute or so's concept footage with little going for it besides a sultry voiceover. The game itself, on the other hand, appears to be a homage to retro TV show Knight Rider with a dash of Bruce Lee and a dusting of Call of Duty.

Put that another way: you control a motorbike that can round-house kick and dual-wield. Here's the sultry voiceover again, without the voice. "Two-time Valedictorian of the illustrious Big Arms Academy's School of Assassination. Proficient in over forty forms of unarmed combat, earning Sensei status in Jiu-jitsu, Aikido, Krav Maga, and Jeet Kune Do. Equally deadly with blades, handguns, and the latest in nuclear technology.

"Fluent in over fifty languages and virtually every local custom. Can blend in and disappear at a moment's notice in any country around the world. The first female cadet to break the four minute mile...by three minutes and forty seconds. All this, and it won't even run down her batteries.

"Twisted Pixel Games proudly presents "Lococycle." Today's criminal requires tomorrow's hero."

We can't wait to meet her properly.
