GameSpot like writing about previously free online games that have been picked up for further development by commercial game publishers, primarily because GameSpot don't really have to do much of the writing. In the case of a game like Line Rider, coming soon to the DS, Wii, and PC from Bard's Tale developer InXile, GameSpot can just tell you to go play the original game for yourself, and then check out some of the crazily creative things some other people are doing with it. If you're really too lazy to click the links, the game is all about drawing a line-based course -- as simple or complex as you want -- and then having a little dude on a sled automatically go sailing along the path you've made.s

Wow, I'd forgotten about this game. Good stuff.
Hopefully they release a new console/handheld game for the WiiU, 3DS, and Vita some day.
Every time I played this game I found myself trying to do a loop, it never worked and i would give up haha
I agree for such a game with a simple premise it is easy to learn how to play but difficult to master.
Awesome, nuff said. LOL. I remember findthing this game and having a blast. Then going online and seeing some of the amazing things people have created that put mine to shame.
I recall seeing a coca cola commercial or Mcdonalds out of it? I wonder if it was real.
Due to the DS' small screen it's hard to get a complete view of the puzzle you're working on, but the zoom function does its job well enough. If you make a mistake you can erase what you've done completely or just a certain line type, and you can completely move a line if you want. The interface takes a little getting used to and it's not nearly as simple to use as it was on the PC, but it does the job.
