An exciting trial competition with different game modes
Trial may not be the most popular motor sport but it’s definitely a spectacular show with incredible jumps and spins that make our jaws drop. And guess what? You can now reproduce those movements without compromising your physical integrity.
Trials 2 is a realistic trial simulator that puts you in control of a powerful bike and challenges you to complete very varied tracks – all indoor. Tracks are categorized according to difficulty and also to different gaming modes. Though the demo version doesn’t include all of them, you can still get a glimpse of what the whole game should be like. There are some tutorial levels as well, but I don’t understand how they work, because instead of explaining movements bit by bit (as you would expect from a tutorial) you’re just presented with a basic circuit you can use as training. You can also choose between several camera modes, but if I were you I’d stay with Action mode: the other ones are a little confusing.
Trials 2 features an easy gameplay, with only a few keys to learn, but at the same time is quite challenging and difficult to master. Graphics are very detailed and the excellent physics engine contributes to the sensation of realism. However this realism sometimes goes a bit beyond the line, especially when the driver falls from the bike: it always looks like you’re on the verge of dying even if you simply crashed at about 5 mph.
If you’d like to test an original motor sport, far from the typical bike and car races, Trials 2 may be the game you’re looking for.
In more detail, Trials2 provides Trials-game fans even further developed physics model and core gameplay-features. Trials 2 two also takes advantage of RedLynx?s further developed RedLynx Theathre – game engine: Trials2 has ultra-high quality graphics mode, that uses deferred rendering to deliver impressive effects, including depth of field, ambient occlusion and per pixel realtime lighting and shadows. In addition to addictive single-player mode, Trials 2 allows players to compete with each other with global highscore lists, and allows replaying and viewing trials rides – in order to learn from the more experienced players.
