Story Mode sends the player down carefully constructed levels with a start point, a goal, and several targets that need to be hit along the way, but there are gaps in the path that need to be filled in. None of this detracts from the gameplay, but the premise is too clichéd and the video too compressed to really enhance it.

The story is presented with animated cut scenes in between levels, but the video is highly compressed with a low frame rate. There is also a lady sledder the two seem to be battling over. This rival fellow is always setting up traps for the player, but of course they end up backfiring on him. Road Runner-type conflict between our hero, Bosh, and his all black-wearing rival. The game has been given context in the form of a Wile E. For the most part they succeed, but there are some interface issues that keep Line Rider 2 from being an entire success. For the retail sequel, the developers have tried to strike a balance between freeform creation and a story mode that throws obstacles at the player. Players could freely draw slopes for their sledder to ride down, but there wasn't any structure or conflict. The original Line Rider was really an interactive toy instead of a game. N+ is already available, and now Line Rider 2: Unbound is making the rounds to the DS, Wii, and PC.

This is the year of previously free Flash games being enhanced and packaged for retail.
