How it feels

A laid-back licensed tie-in where you cruise iconic custom choppers and tinker with bike designs, riding on TV show nostalgia rather than racing intensity.

About

Be hired into the shop of the hit TV series American Chopper. Here's your chance to ride the bikes built by the Teutuls. Choose from the POW/MIA Bike, Jet Bike, Black Widow Bike, and others. You're also sent on missions to create your very own, original themed chopper that rivals those built by Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. Experience first-hand all of the hard work, drama, and thrill of creating one of the most beautiful bikes on the road today.

What players say

Players and critics treat it as a thin licensed tie-in with poor handling and a tacked-on bike-building mode that feels like guesswork; remembered as a forgettable cash-in rather than a real racer.
