#TRIALS FUSION SPLIT SCREEN SERIES#

ItвЂ™s always fun to improve your time enough to get a higher grade medal, and kick your friendвЂ™s time off the leaderboard at the same time. Trials also likes to keep the social element front and center вЂ“ youвЂ™re always racing your friendвЂ™s ghosts along the track, with leaderboards and replays accessible with a few buttons in the menus. Improve your times through the levels, and try to aim for zero mistakes. Every track has 3 extra challenges to come back and do as well, including hidden areas to try out when youвЂ™re skilled enough to seek them, giving the campaign a lot of replayability for the motorcycle elite.ДЄ lot of the gameвЂ™s fun comes from the extremely high skill ceiling вЂ“ thereвЂ™s always ways you can improve.

Variety is achieved fairly through special вЂњskill gamesвЂќ and FMX tracks which are special situations where you aim for high scores on silly activities and do tricks across simple stunt tracks, which gives a break from the massive amounts of precision driven perfection the rest of the game gives. Frustration still exists, much like in the previous games, but itвЂ™s kept to a minimum by the tracks. Spikes come much softer than previously, and youвЂ™re always given a good set of tutorials for the new techniques youвЂ™ll need to learn. Much praise needs to be given to the design of the levels themselves вЂ“ the difficulty curve feels much more balanced, especially in comparison to previous Trials games. Unfortunately it appears the game has some sort of streaming texture issues вЂ“ if I move too quickly across a level, the textures will often be extremely low resolution for a moment.

The levels themselves take place in a new theme for Trials вЂ“ the future is filled with shiny chrome and glass, snow-capped mountains, and sometimes takes trips to exotic deserts, tropical jungles and all sorts of other places, and the game looks amazing вЂ“ a solid 60 frames per second lends to an amazing presentation of graphical effects. Even the вЂњjokeвЂќ bikes, like the quad-bike you use on one of the midpoints in the campaign, and the pedal bike you unlock at the end, each have their own feel and level of mastery required to tame them. All the bikes, from the simple all rounder Baggie to the all-engrossing power of the Pit Viper, every bike handles distinctively and feels great underneath your fingers.

Trials Fusion continues to carry on the legacy of the series with arguably the best вЂњfeelingвЂќ gameplay in the series so far. The core of the Trials gameplay has always balanced on this simple concept вЂ“ balance and control of your bike. ItвЂ™s a motorcycle game вЂ“ you balance your rider by tilting them left and right, accelerating and braking across an ever trickier series of obstacle courses, often filled with the most extravagant dangers. Not much different from the standard Trials fare then вЂ“ the entire game is basically iterative over the previous Trials entry, but thankfully the gameplay tuneup is mostly positive, and is heavily recommendable as an entry point to the Trials series.ДЇor those of you who donвЂ™t know what the series is, Trials started a fair few years ago. вЂњWelcome to the futureвЂќ вЂ“ the first words you hear when you boot up Trials Fusion on PlayStation 4 are pretty much the best way to describe it вЂ“ a look forward into the crazy future of people riding bikes over a lot of things that explode.
