The star of LocoCycle is I.R.I.S, a sentient motorcycle that looks like it is from the Knight Rider era of television shows. IRIS is supposed to serve as a tool for an unscrupulous defense contractor, but after being struck by lightning she decides to attend a freedom rally in Scottsburg, Indiana instead. Pablo, her unfortunate mechanic, gets his pants caught in her chassis so he is unwillingly dragged along for the ride.

With thousands of goons between her and her destination, IRIS has to fight to stay on the road. Hot on her trail is S.P.I.K.E, a fellow sentient motorcycle still on the Big Arms payroll and the only thing that might actually be capable of stopping her. IRIS is constantly on the move, so you either have to dodge obstacles in her path or gun down the enemies attacking her. While you can stop or

Pablo speaks Spanish and IRIS has a fried language module, so she gleefully misunderstands his constant pleas for help. The two of them have plenty of funny lines, but if it becomes too much for you there is a welcome option to switch off the voices. There are some well known names behind the voices such as Lisa Foiles as IRIS, Freddy Rodriguez playing Pablo and Robert Patrick lending his vocals to SPIKE. I didn't mind the speech that much, apart from the fact that I missed a lot of Pablo's lines due to the subtitles which are hard to read when you are concentrating on other

    My definition of an obstacle or challenge is something that tries to stop you from your goal or something hard to overcome. My definition of success is when you get to a point in your life where you are happy and have a sustainable job. It is very important to overcome challenges and obstacles because if you do not overcome them you won't be able to reach your goal. If you don't reach your goal because of a challenge or obstacle you can always try again because very few people get everything right the first time, but if you just let your obstacle stop you forever you’re going to end up unhappy , unless you find something else that makes you happy. My mother got pregnant at 17.…
