The Stuntman revival announced this week put a forgotten genre back in the conversation. The franchise made its name in 2002 by letting players choreograph Hollywood-style action sequences, and the new entry promises the same energy across Knight Rider, Miami Vice, and Mad Max homages. The console release is months away. The Android catalogue has been quietly carrying the flame the whole time, with motocross trials, car physics chaos, and freestyle motocross all on a phone.
We tested 7 stunt driving games for Android, focusing on physics quality, the difficulty of the trick system, and how the controls translate to a touchscreen. The list mixes premium one-time purchases, F2P live-ops games, and casual physics toys. Some reward precise inputs and timing; others reward sending the bike as hard as possible.
What to look for in a stunt driving game
- Physics feel. Good stunt games make the bike or car feel like it has mass and momentum. Floaty controls ruin the genre.
- Trick variety. Wheelies, backflips, frontflips, no-handers, manuals, and grinds give the trick system depth.
- Track creator. Some of the best stunt games include user-generated tracks. Community content extends the lifespan well past the campaign.
- Touch versus tilt. Trials-style games favour tap-and-hold touch controls. Freestyle motocross can work with tilt.
- Replay value. Score attack, ghost runs, and time trials matter more than long single-player stories.

The games
1. Trial Xtreme 4 — best premium motorcycle trials
Trial Xtreme 4 is the long-running trials series with the cleanest physics on Android. Every jump, wheelie, and recovery feels weighted, and the level design rewards memorising lines instead of brute-forcing the throttle. The 2023 and 2024 updates expanded the track editor, added new bikes, and brought back features that the original series fans had been asking for since the third entry. There are around 100 base tracks plus an open user-track marketplace.
Where it falls short: Ad load on the free tier is heavy until you buy the ad-removal pack. The leaderboards are dominated by long-time players.
Pricing: Free with ads; optional IAP for ad removal and bike unlocks.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Download: Google Play · App Store
Bottom line: Trial Xtreme 4 is the right pick for serious bike stunt physics on a phone.
2. Mad Skills Motocross 3 — best racing-stunt hybrid
Mad Skills Motocross 3 by Turborilla is the racing-focused trials game that pairs head-to-head multiplayer with stunt-trick scoring. Each track has multiple lines, and the fast lap depends on linking flips and tricks across jumps rather than just hitting the throttle. The career mode runs deep and the real-time multiplayer is the main draw for competitive players.
Where it falls short: Online progression is the focus; pure single-player runs out faster than the career mode suggests.
Pricing: Free with ads and IAP.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Download: Google Play · App Store
Bottom line: The right pick when you want trials racing with a competitive multiplayer ladder.
3. Hill Climb Racing 2 — best physics platformer
Hill Climb Racing 2 by Fingersoft is not strictly a stunt game, but the physics-driven hill-rolling, flipping, and air-time scoring make it the closest 2D cousin to a stunt game on Android. Vehicle variety (jeep, scooter, tank, monster truck, motorcycle) keeps the loop fresh, and the global multiplayer leagues add a competitive layer.
Where it falls short: The progression depends on the gacha-style chest system. The cup mode caps tuning until you grind upgrades.
Pricing: Free with ads and IAP.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Download: Google Play · App Store
Bottom line: Pick Hill Climb Racing 2 when you want stunt-feel physics in a casual 2D platformer.
4. Stunt Car Extreme — best open arena car stunts
Stunt Car Extreme drops a car into an open arena packed with ramps, loops, and breakable structures, and lets you send it. Each car has its own physics tuning, the camera works on a phone, and the sandbox mode is exactly the relaxed environment the trick-attack picks lack. Levels also unlock weather and time-of-day options.
Where it falls short: Outside the arena mode, the levelled content is thin. Trick variety relies on the player rather than a deep input system.
Pricing: Free with ads.
Platforms: Android.
Download: Google Play
Bottom line: Pick Stunt Car Extreme for an unstructured physics sandbox to fly cars in.
5. Bike Stunt Master — best beginner-friendly bike stunts
Bike Stunt Master is the friendlier on-ramp to the genre. Physics are forgiving, jumps land themselves with a basic tap-and-hold input, and the level structure ramps up slowly. The result is a game that lets new players land tricks instead of failing for the first ten attempts.
Where it falls short: Depth comes faster than in Trial Xtreme. Skilled players will out-grow the late levels quickly.
Pricing: Free with ads.
Platforms: Android.
Download: Google Play
Bottom line: Pick Bike Stunt Master if you are new to the genre and want fast progression and forgiving physics.
6. FMX Team — best premium freestyle motocross
FMX Team is the older premium freestyle motocross game that still holds up. Each event is a series of jumps where the trick combos in mid-air determine the score. Pay once, no ads, no IAP. The format is one of the purest stunt-scoring experiences on the platform.
Where it falls short: The 2D presentation is dated. New content stopped coming years ago.
Pricing: Paid one-off purchase.
Platforms: Android, iOS.
Download: Google Play · App Store
Bottom line: Pick FMX Team when you want a self-contained freestyle motocross game without monetisation.
7. Real Bike Racing — best track-and-jump hybrid
Real Bike Racing sits at the boundary between bike racing and bike stunts. Tracks include jumps with score-attack components and wheelie segments. The handling sits between simulation and arcade, which means stunts emerge as a side effect of fast laps rather than as a separate mode.
Where it falls short: The stunt depth is shallower than dedicated trick games. The progression is a slow drip.
Pricing: Free with ads.
Platforms: Android.
Download: Google Play
Bottom line: Pick Real Bike Racing when you want a racer that lets you stunt along the way.
