Trials fusion bikes
In stunt events, you’ll be required to traverse levels trying to score as many points as possible before the end – ideally, you never crash, and you always combine tricks if possible.
TRIALS FUSION BIKES DRIVER
Here, you drive down a steep ramp and bailout at the end, trying to rocket your driver through the sky as far as possible before gravity takes over and he slams down. Not all of the levels are undeniably futuristic though as I said before, the variety here is quite impressive, and given the forthcoming DLC, it’s sure to improve even further.Īn example of an event that’s not a simple A to B race can be seen in the next shot. Another example has you in space, racing along while buildings and other contraptions float in the background.

One good example is a gravity-reduced factory that features a track which gets built while you drive along it.
TRIALS FUSION BIKES SERIES
The game can be played with a keyboard, but those who go that route are effectively crazy – a gamepad is definitely a better input choice here because when precision is needed, analog wins.įusion‘s start screen plays a song that sings, “Welcome to the Future”, and that’s what sets this game apart from the previous titles in the series the most – some of the levels are very futuristic. And believe me, there’s a lot here to keep you hooked for the long-haul.Īs unrealistic a game as Trials Fusion is, its physics are largely very impressive and believable. “ Did he just say the game is $20?” You bet I did. These DLC packs can be purchased in advance with the oh-so-common “Season Pack”, which costs as much as the game itself: $20. Despite the 2D plane though, the game is heavily involving.Įight tiers of levels are available with the launch version of Fusion, with more levels and features to come down the road with the help of 5 separate DLC packs. In a way, this is what makes the game so easy to get into you mostly have to worry about keeping your bike level by using the left and right analog control. The most important thing about Trials’ mechanics that I should mention right off the top (but which is probably obvious from the screenshots) is that the entire game is played on a 2D plane and features 3D elements.

If you don’t come back, I’ll probably send out a search team – and that’d be embarrassing, wouldn’t it? I’d recommend checking out the video above to get a better feel for the game than what text and screenshots can provide. Clearly, you might be able to tell that this isn’t the most serious of games, and that of course is one thing that makes it so great.ĩ minute gameplay video showcasing 5 different levels The large number of different environments is impressive, as is the number of ways your driver dies at the end of some levels. Like past games, Fusion has environments filled to the brim with eye candy, but the developers managed to kick things up a notch here. I can also guarantee that your hands are bound to hurt after a while.īut it’s so freaking addictive. Some levels or “tests” are so difficult, that you’ll probably find yourself resetting the track, or reverting to a checkpoint, a countless number of times. Then, without warning, the game will grab you by your neck, and make you sweat. These games start off easy, and lead you to believe that you’re a Sensei at the art of stunt-biking. Trials Fusion falls into the category of games I like to call “patience testers”. With Trials Fusion, I can honestly say that this is a series that gets better with age.

I had a lot of fun with Trials HD, and likewise with Trials Evolution. In any one of the games, you can expect truly bizarre events one moment, and then a simple race from A and B the next. And then flung me into a deep pit at the end of a level.Īt its heart, Trials falls into the racing genre, but it’s far more than just racing. One of the games released was called Trials HD – and it grabbed me.

Then came Microsoft’s second annual Summer of Arcade event, which featured a handful of games to be released through the summer months (as one would expect with a title like that). Nothing grabbed me, not on the marketplace, and not on disc. In the summer of 2009, I had trouble finding a reason to turn on my Xbox 360.
