Gameplay

When your making the squeal to an already smash hit game, you would think it would be kind of hard to top that, but they pulled it off! Trials Evolution is a huge step up from the award winning game Trials HD with tons of great features like world leaderboards, more tracks, new skill games, oh and did I forget to mention multiplayer! All of this already sounds very great and all but nothing compared to the crown jewel, that's right, track central! Track central has 3 great features that include Lite Editor (for beginners), Pro Editor (for experts), and Get Tracks! "Get Tracks" is a database of all the best, and the worst user created tracks in the world of Trials Evolution which you can download, and play.
(9.5/10)

Graphics

Trials HD took place in what seemed to be an endless warehouse of awesome, but what lies outside the warehouse? Trials Evolution takes the more scenic rout when racing it's tracks, which are located in an open world of even more awesome! There are mountains, valleys, streets and parking lots which are all available for your amusement. Another great feature that I personally like in the editor, is the ability to add effects such as explosions, running water, rain...etc But besides the scenery and effects, not much has changed since Trials HD.
(9.0/10)

Controls

The overall controls of Trials Evolution are pretty much the same as the previous trials games, you got your basic gas, break, bailout, and balance. But with the vast creativity of the track editor, you can pretty much make whatever controls you'd like. A great example of this is the S.P.H.E.A.R skill game. In the S.P.H.E.R.E skill game, you basically take control of a metallic sphere which can move forward, back, left, and right, and you have to make it to the end of the course.

My Final Thoughts On Trials Evolution

The Trials series is one of my favorite arcade game series of all time. With every game Redlynx makes, the series just get's better and better. If you don't have Trials Evolution, or have never played any of the Trials games, I highly recommend you go to wal-mart, buy some Microsoft points, and buy these games!

OVERALL RATING: 9.1/10
