![]() Each stage also has a trio of challenges which can earn you a little extra XP and cash, and can range from simply(!) performing a perfect run while pulling off 10 flips, to playing a ragdoll game of tennis with a penguin, or finding secret areas. If you have friends that play the game, Fusion automatically loads up their ghosts when replaying stages as to give you a little extra incentive to best their times on the leaderboards. Of course you are timed and ranked on each stage, and can earn a bronze, silver, gold and/or platinum medals on each, along with XP which contributes to your Trials level, cash and unlockables. That reality usually comes crashing down pretty quickly after spending 10 minutes and 99 restarts just trying to make it up a particularly steep, uneven incline or over a gap which seems nearly impossible to traverse (at first). The few times that you absolutely ace a difficult level, especially the first time racing through it, you feel like the king of the world. There is no “easier” in Trials though, and beyond a few simplified skill-based courses (or player created levels), the stages are essentially designed for players to fail and restart over and over until they learn from their mistakes. Trials Fusion is more physics-heavy platforming than racing at one point, and the sooner players get accustomed to leaning, speed control and weight shifting, the “easier” the game becomes. Trials is not Excitebike however, since these courses are littered with jumps, floating platforms, inclines and assorted obstacles of varying difficulty designed to kick off flips and tricks or cause a dramatic wipeout. The concept of Trials Fusion is simple enough: select a level, choose a bike (or a quad), and try to make it to the end without failing too many times. With a greater than average level of concentration required for each run, one thing that Trials doesn’t need is distractions - though the occasional glare of the sun will probably do you in a couple of times. The stages are fun and varied, and feature just enough eye candy to keep it interesting without being overwhelmingly distracting. That strategy appeared to have worked out pretty well for all parties so far, and although Fusion may not grab the platinum medal from Trials Evolution, it certainly puts up a great fight.Īs the catchy/cheesy Trials Fusion theme song instructs us to do (“Welcome to the Future… man! machine! the fusion!”), the latest Trials game jumps into some bizarro future where motorbike events take place in environments with drones, rocket launches, wind farms, military bases and rampant (sometimes accidental) destruction everywhere. The cash infusion and developer support of a big publisher could help polish up the series and also pull in more fans that play primarily on other systems, including PlayStation and iOS gamers. When Ubisoft picked up RedLynx and announced that the next Trials game would expand onto other platforms beyond the PC and Xbox, fans seemed excited yet skeptical. ![]() That’s the beauty of the franchise, and Trials Fusion doesn’t veer away from that formula much at all. ![]() Some days, you feel like one with your motorbike and can tackle the most difficult platforming elements with ease (and a dash of luck) other times, you’ll want to fling your controller after failing what should be the most simple of bunny hops over and over. ![]() It can be a fun and/or frustrating experience depending on how you play it, your level of patience, how much of a perfectionist you are, and possibly the phase of the moon. These events changed the changed world forever and created perfect conditions for all crazy tracks the game includes.Developer: RedLynx, Ubisoft Shanghai, Ubisoft Kievįor many, the long-running Trials series is the kind of videogame that gamers love to hate. In 2042, an unidentified fell from the skies onto the world and new Anomaly AI system had been launched. In the new part, the developers added a free mode in which the player can perform as many tricks as possible using the right analog stick of the controller.ĭespite the obvious focus on the gameplay, the game has a story. The game is well-known for its complexity, which only increases by the end of the game: the geometry of the tracks becoming more complicated. The player controls the biker, whose task is to pass the obstacle course by performing tricks. The game is rendered fully in 3D but uses only a 2D perspective for player’s comfort. The game is the sequel to Trials Evolution first in the series, released on the consoles from Sony. The ideological heir to the mobile hit mid-2000 Gravity Defied, Trials Fusion is an extra challenging platformer with trial bikes.
