  [h1]Better than Trials Fusion & Trials Rising[/h1] [b]Note: I added an updated section further in the review detailing my thoughts on Trials Rising[/b] If you're debating between this game and the sequel Trials Fusion, get this game, it's from an era where Ubisoft was decent and you can tell Red Lynx poured their heart and soul into this game. [b]This game is superior. It has:[/b] - [i]Far[/i] more tracks - No day 1 DLCs - No microtransactions nor gambling crates unlike Trials Rising & Fusion - Slightly better optimization - although has frame rate issues on some tracks and 60fps cap. - Launch multiplayer - No multiple season passes or a million "deluxe" editions hiding base game content. I grew up playing the Trials flash games on miniclip for dozens of hours. This game feels like old times again, but now with a fresh coat of paint, tons of insane tracks, and a head banging soundtrack. At times I find myself laughing from the sheer comical absurdy of the game - there's a track where once you cross the finish line and think you're good to go, 3 nukes casually drop from the ceiling and send you ragdolling into oblivion. Even as the tracks get harder (and believe me they get [i]very[/i] hard), it somehow becomes [i]even more fun[/i] to keep playing and finesse your skills. But sometimes you'll have to concede defeat and come back another time else you'll make your blood boil in frustration. The level editor adds practically infinite replayability to the game, and while multiplayer isn't nearly as large as it used to be (it's almost dead), don't let that stop you from playing Trials Evolution - it's fun as hell. [b]Update 2019-01-16:[/b] Cannot download any user tracks. Not sure if servers are shutdown or what but will update if persists. [b][h1]Update 2019-02-26: On Trials Rising's Microtransactions & Gambling Crates:[/h1][/b] The newest Trials game (Trials Rising) just dropped and while it may be technically solid and really fun, by principle I will not support the game's predatory and poisonous business model, despite how benign Ubisoft tries to make it seem at surface value. In fact I will denounce it and other games that continue to follow its model. Let me explain... The new Trials Rising has gambling crates and microtransactions. I firmly believe paid games should not have free to play economies unless the game itself is free. [b]Microtransactions are not optional and they affect gameplay, even if cosmetic. They are tied directly to the game's progression system which is inflated to increase grind and drip feed content. What's more, content that would have otherwise been in the full priced base game is stripped out and held ransom behind cheap artificial paywalls.[/b] How much longer are we going to let multibillion dollar companies nickel and dime us and inject gambling directly into games? Why are we letting them continue to teach kids that gambling and dropping cash on these ripped pieces of pixel colors is ok when it is not? It isn't optional to participate in the microtransactions because you will be affected in some way because the game itself has altered progression, ripped content, and artificially inflated grinds. Because remember, [b]no publisher puts microtransactions in a game with the expectation that you won't buy them.[/b] In other words, they stealthily incentivize you towards the in-game store through premium currencies and try to justify it with "it's just cosmetic" when I just explained why it's a bogus excuse. They never flat out say "microtransaction" or "gambling" despite that being [i]exactly[/i] what it is and instead say "in game economy", "premium currencies (a.k.a. acorns)", and "loot crates". Just give players the whole damn game we payed for. All that development time that goes into this stuff could be better spent on developing game content, not milking a finite player base for infinite money. Just take a look at this: Trials Rising launched [b]without[/b] private multiplayer meaning "there is no party system and private multiplayer is locked on release." In response to a player wondering why this is the case, a developer told the reviewer "Hi! Please note that private multiplayer will be available for Trials Rising on PC, PS4 and XB1 in April." If you don't believe me here's the exact conversation: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198083770376/recommended/641080/#developer_response Like what the actual hell?! 2 months after release and while Ubisoft and developers made sure microtransactions worked they couldn't even be bothered to finish the damn multiplayer. That's fucking disgraceful. And who's to say months down the road when private multiplayer is added it won't have server issues. This isn't some huge game made by hundreds of people, this is a much smaller game with an established history and they're releasing unfinished products and milking it like a mobile phone game. Makes me wonder if lead developer "Eno" is behind this like they were for Trials Fusion microtransactions. And if developers don't like it either then damnit grow a backbone, speak up about it, and defend [b]your[/b] game's integrity that you put so much hard work into. Either you want these detestable practices or you don't. Paid games should [b]not[/b] have free to play economies. Period. To me, Trials Evolution is now the defacto better game.

  This is by far one of my favorite games. The physics are just right, the gameplay is easy sometimes but progressivly gets super hard. The only hinderance is that it uses uplay, which is not a big deal but it's annoying.

  ------ DO NOT BUY IF YOU INTEND TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS ----- An update by UPLAY back in 2014 has caused the party system to stop working and has not been looked at since.

  if your'e a fan of "tilty bike" games (no idea the actual genre name) then youl enjoy this game, the only downside is a controller is a must, as you need a pressure sensitive trigger/button to get the gas just right to get those tricky hills and jumps. Other than that, this game is the top game in its genre, good visuals, great gameplay, and a great franchise. if you are considering buying it, do it. i doubt you'd be dissapointed. Akari-chan

  Let's get this straight: I absolutely adore this game, it is really fun to play and see how you improve over time. Even better if you have a couple of friends to compete with on the leadersboards or play a bit of multiplayer. You can even make your own tracks in the editor which is pretty easy to get started in, but advanced enough to make crazy minigames and really slick looking tracks. If the game will actually run at all for you that is. It seems to be a coin-toss if this game will work on your system or not, and if it actually does run it might still lag even with really good hardware. I'm running it with a HD7970 and an i7 3770k so it runs well just because of the brute force. My laptop on the other hand has a decent high end i7 (for a laptop) and a HD8870M and I can't even run the game on low settings in 680x480 (for reference, the laptop can run Battlefield 4 on low sort of okay in 1080p) without having lag. Other people have problems with the game not starting at all or crashing frequently. EDIT: Track central is now fixed and works just as well as it does on Xbox 360, removed the "it's not working very well part". It also has DRM in the form of uPlay, which will start when you try and start the game from Steam. It was pretty terrible in the beginning but seems to have improved a bit over the year (still would rather not have it). uPlay also handles the multiplayer part of the game if you want to make private games with friends and that part is incredibly broken too. Pressing invite from the in-game friendslist just crashes my game and I'm one of the lucky ones that it's the only problem I'm having with it. To sum things up I would recommend the game if I knew it would work properly, but with all the problems it has it really seems to be dumb luck wether it will work. The infrequent patches haven't done much to remedy the situation in the last few months so I honestly cannot recommend it when it's so broken for a big portion of the people that bought it.

  Awesome game, put 30 hours in, set some crazy records, got a number 3 spot in the world on a track. Would buy for 5 bucks any day. EDIT: Since this review has gotten popular, I decided to add to it. Trials is a unique game. Its a race against time, and is a ton of fun but can be very very challenging at some times. The controls are well done, and the bikes and tracks are all made well and the difficulty of each track is organized in a fair manner. Usings the controller works best with this game, in my opinion. The multiplayer isnt too active, but if you can get 4 friends over for some local trials races, you will have a blast, I guarentee it. The only downside to this game is that it uses uplay, but in my opinion, there really isnt any other game out there like this one, so it is worth it.

  I really enjoyed this game when it worked. However it requires you to install UPlay to run the program. This means you have to run a SECOND DRM program beyond Steam to play. I lost access to my email that I had used before, years ago, and had to contact support to get into my account. (Mind you that I BOUGHT the game on Steam, have the activation KEY and have run this game on this computer before.) Ubisoft wanted proof, beyond having the key, to let me back into my account. They required an uncropped screenshot of the receipt of purchase and the product activation key. I wasted 3 hours going through 6 or so chats with no solution found. I had a screenshot with: -My STEAM RECEIPT open in a browser -My STEAM APP open to the keys and activation page -The ACTIVATION KEY DIALOGUE WINDOW open -The DEFUNCT email that I have no access to DISPLAYED IN STEAM -The CHAT WINDOW with the rep open -And of course the rest of my desktop as they require an UNCROPPED screenshot, this also provided them with the exact date and time. Along with all that, they asked me where I was currently, where the account was created, what was the last ubisoft game I played. Each time they wanted something different and each time I struggled to give it to the impatient customer service reps before they ended the chat on ME! BUYER BEWARE UBISOFT CONNECT IS REQUIRED The irony of all of this is that I got this game when it was on sale for $5... The company probably lost more money paying their customer support staff to "Help" me than they got from me in the first place. I will NEVER buy a Ubisoft game for the rest of my life. PATHETIC customer support. ARCHAIC DRM that only hurts the people who actually PAY for the game. I assure you that anyone who has pirated this game has never had to put up with this level of frustration and disrespect. Why buy from a company (Ubisoft) that has nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for its honest, paying customers.

  I will be the first to admit I am not the most "hardcore" gamer on the planet. Some may even call me a b***h, and I'm totally fine with that. This all means that when games become super hard I generally tend to turn them off and do something that doesn't make me want to smash my face into a concrete slab. This game however, is incrediably rewarding and keeps me drawn in. I have unlocked all the tracks in both sections of the game (Trials HD, and Evolution). I in no way would ever concider myself a "good" trials player. Look up videos of folks pulling off Extreme traks with 0 faults, and you will know what god looks like. The reason that this game doesn't get frustrating, is the amazing physics system. I have never once felt like the game cheated me out of landing a partifuclar obstacle. Everytime I fail I know it is my own fault and the only thing standing between me and the finsih line is skill, not luck. This brings me back again again and again. If I have 20 minutes before I head to class to play a game, this is almost always what I chose. I try my hardest to get a gold medal on whatever track I chose. If I suceed, I feel like like the worlds biggest bad a** all day. If I fail, I'm no frustrated, and all day I'm thinking about what I need to do different to reach my objective. I love the fact that the online multiplayer allows you to use whatever bike and ride on whatever track you want (irregardless of weather or not you have unlocked that content in the single player.) This provided hours of enjoyment as me and my bestfriend tackled Extreme tracks knowing damn well we barely had the skill for Medium tracks. This system actually improved our skill quite rapidly and I'm all for it. I wish more games would allow players to access all content from the get go. I've never written a review before, so excuse me if this was all rambling, but this has become one of my favorite games of all time and so I felt it was fitting to share my opinion!
