Game #006: Trials 2

Update: From what someone said on a comment (which I managed to cleverly delete), Trials 2 is only 3D on the bought version and the graphics are supposed to be really good. Therefore, please disregard any parts of the rating where I criticize the game for not being 3D as that information is incorrect. However, I still believe that the online version should be 3D, especially seeing as it means those who do not use American currency can't get the better game. I apologize if I may have misled you.

Click here to play!

Controls: Up to accelerate, Down to decelerate, Left and Right to lean.

Difficulty: Medium

Objective: To complete all of the levels with no (although more likely) as little falls as possible. More levels are available if the game is purchased.

Source: Miniclip

Creator: Red Lynx

Rating: 3.5/5 - So, here comes another one of those Dirtbike games, where you have to advance through all the levels, without crashing. Except, according to the creators, Trials 2 is 3D! Unfortunately, it doesn't really live up to that standard (on the web version). Despite being a very, very slick game, with amazing (even if not) 3D graphics, Trials 2 still fails to impress me. It manages to be like most 3D games - slow and quick to crash your web browser. The handling of your bike is too stiff, in the words of someone I know, and that person is right. The stiffness of the handling makes you prone to crashing. But what annoys me most of all, is the games non-stop attempts to get you to do download the full version, especially seeing as it asks for American currency, which we happen not to use here in Britain. Well, I doubt I'll be downloading this game any time soon...

Games Master Challenge: See if you can complete all the levels (on the web version), with a combined total of less than 10 falls. Good luck - because you'll need it with this game.
