The backgrounds are imaginative, ranging from medieval surroundings to high-tech laboratories, where the track is literally built right in front of you as you coast along it. Still, it doesn't hurt to breeze through a few local races, especially if you need a break from that one nefarious level you just can't beat.Īs far as presentation goes, Trials Fusion is easily ahead of the pack. It's still here, but is limited to offline only at the moment. Multiplayer gets the short end of the stick this time around, though. It's massive, and will keep players coming back for more. Once finished, you can upload your tracks for others to try out, while also downloading available offerings from both community members and RedLynx/Ubisoft. Meanwhile, track editors let you build your own devious creations, although it'll take a good amount of time to do so. "Ghosts" are automatically captured during runs, showing how you compare with other racers in real time. Along with multiple single player missions to complete, Trials Fusion comes with a robust community feature, built around "ghost" riders and a track editor.
There are plenty of opportunities to go crazy in FusionĪt least there's more than enough to keep you busy. Some more innovation would've gone a long way here, like adding specific tricks to certain skins. While it's great to unlock new skins and bikes to add to your collection, their performance stays roughly about the same. The same can't be said for the XP system, however. It takes a little getting used to, but it's a fresh new element that shows forward movement on the developer's part. Along with flips, this enables your rider to perform other acts of derring-do, mostly to complete pre-set challenges during each race. It's a challenge that will have you gnashing your teeth at times, but never to the point where you'll quit the game forever.Īdding a layer to the gameplay is a new trick system, introduced after the third tier of levels. However, as you unlock new courses, that difficulty curve eventually begins to settle in, and you'll soon have to work through several restarts and perfect landings to earn the coveted gold medal for each one. When you first tackle Fusion, you'll find the opening tracks to be relatively easy, with a few hills to overcome and some tricky landings to endure. While the game adds a few new features, the latest entry in the series is still all about staying on your wheels and finishing the race.
With Trials Fusion, they're able to maintain the status quo. When you finally nail a level, it's incredibly liberating, whetting your appetite for more.ĭeveloper RedLynx captured that sensation with both Trials HD and Trials Evolution. Levels need to be challenging enough to have gamers say "just one more time," without having them burst a blood vessel. The Trials games have to find the perfect amount of frustration to entice gamers.
