This game is very fun, the physics are fantastic. My problems are that it gets RIDICULOUSLY hard later in the game. I mean it. Also, for the price I reckon they could have included a few more levels, or at least some levels that had different looks to them. Each level pretty much looks exactly like the last which can get a small dull on the eye-candy side. The entire game is basically play inside of a warehouse setting, but whatever. My other gripe is that it can be pretty darn glitchy from time to time, especially some of the mini-game challenges.

I bought Trials HD and Shadow Complex at about the same time this summer and only played Trials for an hour or so while I obsessed over Shadow Complex (another must-buy game) for several weeks. After that first hour, I was upset at myself for having blown the same amount of money on Trials as I did on SC. I thought Trials was just a simple game without much depth for the money. I didn’t end up playing it again for nearly two months. What an IDIOT I was! I reckon I started showing it to a friend in October. He really liked it and then I got into it again.
Here’s the thing. I’m 35. I don’t have time to play games the way I used to in my youth. I play lots of games on the Simple and Normal setting because I just want to delight in myself and experience the storyline. I don’t like being frustrated. I don’t like beating my head against the wall trying to get through hard parts in games. I just like seeing all the levels and having fun. I like getting achievements, but I generally give up if they are too hard. My philosophy generally is that there are too many excellent games out there for me to waste my time being frustrated and miserable while I struggle on the higher difficulty levels.
This game has changed me. It makes you want to keep trying. It makes you proud of yourself for pursuing perfection. I can’t count the hours I’ve spent playing this game but I’ve heard some of the top players have logged over 150 hours in the game. It starts out simple but becomes incredibly challenging. The subtlety in the controls will really impress you when you’ve place enough time in to appreciate them.
This is also a fantastic game to play with friends over. It is fun to watch and fun to hand the controller back and forth with friends. The many crashes and explosions are always amusing and never get ancient.
The only annoying thing about the game is that you can only share tracks you make in the incredible track editor with people on your friends list. You can’t share your levels with strangers and you can’t download tracks from strangers. I don’t know if this was a choice by the developer to ensure they controlled the tracks or if Microsoft prevented them from letting us download free tracks. Either way, it was a VERY Terrible choice. Anyone who has played Small Huge Planet on the PS3 knows that there are thousands of incredible, FREE levels made by other users. Here’s hoping this is fixed in a future update or expansion pack.
Regardless of this one issue, there is more than enough content in the game to make this game worth every penny and more. Once you start playing this, you’ll be on YouTube, watching videos on how to master each track and shave a few more seconds off your time. The game becomes punishingly hard and I’m not sure I will EVER pass all of the Extreme levels, but the game really does have that magic factor that keeps you coming back. If you consider yourself a gamer, get this game! And if you like it, look me up on live to let me know… Mr Therapy

This is modernized Excite Bike except your bike never over-heats. I downloaded the demo yesterday and bought the full version first thing this morning. I cannot tell you enough how fun and awesome this game is. Fantastic!

This is a solid game. It is based on the online, 2D game of the same name. While a very fun game, it gets extremely challenging which could be a turnoff for some users. You can spend a long time trying to get over one awkwardly placed box. Sadly, the game limits you to 30 minutes max per level. At one point I struggle with an obstacle, and after 29 minutes of struggling I made it over, but couldn’t make it to the end line in time.
The levels are filled with checkpoints so you never feel like you are forced to replay a lot of what you already did. Also, you can respawn with the press of a button, so you can have quick, repeated attempts on the tough obstacles. Sadly, I feel like the harder levels get rid of what makes this game fun! The most fun I had was racing down the track, flipping. The excellent parts feel nearly like a roller coaster. The hard levels get rid of this feeling; instead you spend a long time trying to get over a crate.

If you have siblings, or friends that like to get together and laugh, this game is perfect. From the courses to the mini games this game is both uncomplicated and fun. It has simple controls, like forward, reverse, lean forward, lean back, and an occasional bailout button. My small brother has mastered the game, he is 13, and my not-so-excellent with video games girlfriend can hold her own and even set a few records. We sit and play this game, passing off the controller to one another, trying to beat each others scores or do the craziest crashes. Sense the rules of the game are simple, you can make up your own half the time.
There are 2 downfalls/challenges to the game. 1)The hard tracks. They are really hard and you may find yourself thinking they are crazy if they reckon you should be able to do it. But, it always works out and you will feel excellent for doing what no one else figured out. 2)The violence. The blood is not often seen and in comparison to most games today it is not a lot. But, the crashes are often expansive and can leave your drivers falling long distances, hitting a lot of objects, being blown up, etc. and all while often making painful (I believe they are supposed to be comical) sounds. This is really up to the parent/individual to choose if this is appropriate.
All-in-all, this game is a blast! It is just ancient fashioned gamer fun. Side scrolling at it’s best. Hope this helps and I hope that you delight in this game and have all the laughs my family and friends have had playing trials.
Remember to keep online gaming clean! God bless!
