Trials Evolution 2012

Is it still worth playing?

You ride a physics based motorcycle from the start of a level to its end across obstacles, in this Xbox 360 racing game from Ubisoft RedLynx, a follow up to Trials HD. The aim is to finish the course as fast as possible with as few crashes, called faults, as possible. The graphics are 3D but the game is played on a 2D plane, so the rider moves forward and backward, and you control the bike's pitch on the ground or in the air. Up to four players can compete on one console or online, and some tracks let you ride side by side. Money earned customizes your rider and bike, and a course editor lets you create and share tracks. Medals gate progress, so beating a stage alone does not unlock the next licence test, and checkpoints are more frequent than in Trials HD. Faults and medals still turn every track into another try.
