IGN said it was like a modern day Excitebike. After hearing that I'm even tempted to pick it up.

[Nelo Ice]

eurogamer gave it a 9.0

played this game on the computer for free. Pretty fun and challenging, but i sure as hell wouldnt pay 15 bucks for it

imo it'll be worth $15

[glockant]

can't wait!!

[mtxbass1]

As frustrating as the one on the PC is, I don't know that I can justify $15 to torture myself on the 360 with this one. I bought Trials on steam for $2 the last time it was on sale and eventually got to the point where I was completely stuck on a level. I can see that happening again with the 360 version.

[SynGamer]

I would have most likely gotten this if it was 800 points, but fuck 1200.

[JStryke]

I'll admit I haven't played this, but looking at the trailers, I can't help but think they seem somewhat similar to those java / flash games you find on free gaming sites. Maybe that's just me though, I dunno.

probably because it started off as a free java game.

[PsyDiddy]

I had just heard whispers about this game before, but after seeing these vids, I'm sold. I do remember my kids playing a mini-clip flash game just like this, but this looks 100 times more fun.

[Strell]

It's like Excitebike in HD combined with Littlebigplanet.

Remember if you're buying all the other big games (MvC2, Splosion Man, Shadow Complex, and something I don't recall), you can get 800 points in credit toward something new down the line. Just a heads up.

Edit: Bah! Monkey Island is the fourth game! I feel ashamed now. Turtles in Time is the fourth game, as shown below.

I'm pretty sure TMNT is the fourth game.

[Strell]

I'm pretty sure TMNT is the fourth game.

Blarg. I know there's a thread here, but I figured it was buried and I didn't want to look around for it. :p

[Nelo Ice]

anyone else getting this?
comes out in like 2 hours!

[Nelo Ice]

its up!
http://marketplace.xbox.com/de-DE/games/offers/00000001-0000-4000-8000-00005841095a?cid=SLink

[giantjerk]

I want it, but I just sent off my xbox. I love these types of games and I've heard this one is very fleshed out. I think it's at least worth a look.

[fart_bubble]

wish MS would finally say to hell with it and let developers set up one giant database holding all the created levels, the whole "only trade with people in your friends list" sucks ass.

Lode Runner isn't bad but even then, you still have to have people sitting in a lobby for people to be able to leech levels.

Was surprised to see how many people were already on the leader boards in only 2 hours, it was just under 3000 people

[exileinoblivion]

I really kind of like this game but I'm not sure of a purchase.

Had it been 800 I would have purchased instantly after the trial.

[archibishopthedoge]

I grabbed it. After the debacle of Turtles, I needed something like this. I also think it should've probably been 800, but I'm definitely enjoying it. I've got golds on all the beginner tracks and like 3 of the easy ones. I went and tried a couple of medium ones and they are insane, but a lot of fun. No golds on any of those or any of the challenges (which are as fun, if not more fun than the tracks!). The challenges are great!

Definitely worth a purchase, but I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to go 1200 on it, but I think its worth it.

[xpag406]

I have NEVER played this game before ever. But I figured:
A. I have over 20,000 MS Points in my account
B. I have already purchased Splosion Man, MvC2, TMNT and will get Shadow Complex Next week.
So in effect this game will cost me NOTHING out of pocket! (1200 Minus 800 Points for the Summer of Arcade Rebate & Minus 400 for my 1 vs 100 Mob Win = 0 Points Spent)

Looking forward to trying this out after work.

[LeRoy]

There really isn't much awareness out there for this game. Might have something to do with the extremely generic title. I guess I'll check out the trial for Trials HD but I doubt I'll be getting it. Saving my money for Shadow Complex.

[Trakan]

This game is insanely awesome.

[fart_bubble]

someone should start a group for custom levels

[SynGamer]

Could also be the high price of admission. I can play the flash game for free on miniclip (I think)...$15 is too much.

[Nelo Ice]

try the trial out at least!

[paperless]

Yeha, the trial is awesome but 1200 MSP is too much. I can't help but compare it with Battlefield 1943 which offers so much more "playability" for exactly the same price.

complete feature list

[gareman]

99% sure I am getting this game. Might go trade in some random games I don't play so I can get a 1600 point card and use the extra 400 and my 400left over from mvc2 to get spolsion man.

The replay is amazing and when I played the second time two of my friends had played and the real time leaderboards are amazing. I love these type of games. I can't even stop playing the demo and that the reason for my 1% of doubt I am scared I will never stop playing.

[SynGamer]

Tried the demo, loved it, but damn that price. Hopefully this is on sale at some point for 800 points.

[gareman]

just got my card. Add me if you all want

[guyjr]

jeez, no trading levels except with friends? I _might_ have bit at 1200 failpoints had that not been cock locked, but no way - I'm not about supporting more barriers to community. MS, WAKE UP, time to join the 21st century!

[moonknight25]

This game is incredible!! The demo turned it into a day 1 purchase for me!!

[TheNeck]

Demo is Awesome, i would actually buy this game for $15 but hopefully i can get it for $10.

Possibly $10 @ Amazon (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233627).

[mcgavin27]

Got the game, working my way through the easy levels now, very fun.

[homeland]

Loving the game. Bought it once I tried the demo. While it is expensive at 1200 i'm sitting on a bunch of points so the price isn't that big of a deal.

[sociopharm02]

tried the demo and bought it instantly, really fun game.

[giantjerk]

I can't wait to buy this game as soon as my 360 gets back from repair. Add me if you are going to make custom levels and wanna share.

[Spybreak8]

Hmm I used to play something similar to this on my PC, you could use the back wheel to get "stuck" on the 2D level, your wheel would drive up or down painted pixels. You collected apples I believe, the dirt bike had a really flexible suspension and that was part of the fun. You could create your own levels and it was fun to see what everyone else could come up with, which was half of the point of owning the game.

Edit: Ah I found the game I used to play, called Elasto Mania, played this for hours upon hours. Free demo http://download.cnet.com/Elasto-Mania/3000-7551_4-10042849.html
http://i.d.com.com/i/dl/media/dlimage/18/14/1814_small.jpeg
Because the back wheel is attached by an elastic band, the physical effects on the motorcycle are dramatic.

That made for some interesting gameplay. Sorry for being off topic lol.:-#

[giantjerk]

I just watched Richard Mitchell (at Joystiq's) XBLA in brief (http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/08/12/x3f-tv-xbla-in-brief-trials-hd/) on this game, and if I wanted it before, now I REALLY want it.

[benjamouth]

Played this a lot last night, game is awesome.

If that $10 on Amazon thing turns up, it would be well worth it.

[wakawakawa]

This game is awesome. It's both annoying and rewarding. Fun and frustrating. It also doesn't really play like any other game on xbla (it reminds me a tiny bit of the harder levels in gripshft). The leaderboard competition seems like a huge bonus too. Just like geowars 2 you become motivated to beat your friends.

Send me a FR for some leaderboard comp, I'm ok at the game. I assume I will get better.

[jkam]

I had trouble putting this game down last night! It is a lot of fun! It does remind me a little bit of excitebike even though it isn't really like it gameplay wise. When you get moving and successfully pull off a few jumps this game takes off! I also love how there is no loading when you have to start from a checkpoint. It can be a bit frustrating but even after I had to do some parts over a few times it was still fun. I think the psychics really make it interesting as you crash differently almost every time. I think it was worth the $15 because I'll probably be playing this for awhile.

[homeland]

One of the best features is seeing how your doing compared to people on your friends list as you go through the course. Most of the time that I restarted was solely to get a descent time compared to those on my friends list.

[mang9432]

had a lot of fun on Trials last night, couldn't put it down and play til about 3 am. The only other thing i'd want is to actually race against ghosts. Although the meter on top and being able to watch replays basically makes up for it.

Also, game gets hard faaaaaaast. Looking forward to playing more tonight.

[modium]

I love the leaderboard stuff. I never thought of Trials 2 as a pretty competitive game (had enough trouble simply completing the harder levels), but the leaderboard/replay options open up the game so much.

Feel free to add me on XBL if you want another score to beat.Sorry for being off topic lol.:-#No worries, pretty interesting to see. Are you considering Trials HD?

[deadite76]

Also, game gets hard faaaaaaast. Looking forward to playing more tonight.

The first two sets of levels were a breeze. I figured I would blow through the rest with most gold medals by the weekend. Been mostly getting bronze with a couple of silver medals here and there. So far only one other person on my friends list has this so feel free to add me.

[ihadFG]

Just finished the expert levels...that was hard. It said I unlocked a gamerpic though.

As of right now it says only 161 people have beaten the last level.

[moonknight25]

Add me as well to compete for scores! This game is addicting!

[giantjerk]

Also, game gets hard faaaaaaast. Looking forward to playing more tonight.

So is it sort of like what Sonic the Hedgehog is supposed to be as far as side scrolling speed, but on a motorcycle?

[gareman]

Everyone who is holding out due to the price....don't. This game is well worth 15 dollars and dare I even say, quiet the deal at 15. There is so much to do. I spent an hour just on the tutorial levels trying to beat my friends scores. Its insane. And all the extra challenge games seem stupid at first and kind of lame then you find yourself playing them for like 25 minutes each trying to beat your friend's score. Everyone needs to get this...Its my favorite of the summer of Arcade titles and I love MvC2 and 'Spolsion Man.

[PenguinoMF]

Can you save your friends custom levels to your xbox?

Oh mannnnn, I used to play that all day during my high school IT class. We'd all sit there and try and race through them as fast as we could. It was really more of a play ground than anything.

[fart_bubble]

you are supposed to be able to

[Viva Las Vegas]

Loved the demo, will buy soon. Reminds me of N+ on wheels.

[SteveMcQ]

So is it sort of like what Sonic the Hedgehog is supposed to be as far as side scrolling speed, but on a motorcycle?There are sections where you go from ramp to ramp in pretty fast succession, but nothing quite like Sonic speed. The later levels actually get a little challenging in that you have to learn to use your brakes effectively as well how to apply the throttle judiciously.

Game's great...hope lots of people pick it up.

[thrustbucket]

It's a fun game but It's not a $15 game to me.

[Droogs]

I'm obsessed with the Big Wheel mini game...i've managed to go 220.07 meters which ranked me at 127 out of 45000

[captmurphy]

Pretty excited about this game. I seem to remember playing something similar on the PC in my youth, but I can't even begin to remember what it was called. Hopefully that amazon.com code for $10 comes through.

[budz]

It's a good game (bought it yesterday). So far, I breezed though easy and medium with golds. Hard mode flipped the difficultly into frustration mode. And don't get me started on Extreme! The lack of a local multiplayer as well as online play is a negative. All in all, I would have rather paid $10 for it, but the demo was addictive!

None of my friends have this game yet, PM me to share levels and leaderboard rankings!

[Droogs]

I just attempted to beat the final level and ran out of time...I don't know how far I made it but my hands are hurting. Needless to say, it was the most frustrating videogame moment in my life to get so far and run out of time. I was at like 460 attempts and then BAM, "you're out of time."

I really don't like the time limit thing...I'd like to just have the accomplishment of finishing it. Also, after looking at the leaderboards...Someone has finished the last level with only 4 faults. Rediculousssss

[BoSoxFan900]

This game is pretty awesome. The leaderboards add a ton of replay to it for me. Feel free to add me on XBL for leaderboards and I'll be adding some of you tonight.

[moonknight25]

Yes, the leaderboards totally rock!! I played for 2 hours last night trying to beat a fellow cag!!

[Razzuel]

Yes! I have defeated Inferno II!

[doctorfaustus]

Well this game is awesome. Add me if you need someone to mock.

[JJSP]

I was hesitant to buy this at $15, but I got in on the $10 Amazon deal and maaaaaaaan, I'm glad I did. Messed around with it for a little while tonight, and had an absolute blast.

[sunnysky]

The only bummer is that we can only play Custom tracks made by people in our friends list.
People should start posting here if they make any great tracks.
If of course, they are willing to accept a bunch of friends requests.

[homeland]

This game is crack. Just wasted an hour trying to better my placement in the Challenges. Got 97 broken bones! 3 short of a gold. WTF!

I've got a short & easy one (its pretty much a test track to figure out the editor) almost finished

[moojuice]

I'm playing this game by beating each level without faults before moving on...that being said, "Technique" is kicking my ass hard right now. Can't get through the high tire tower-lower tire tower-concrete pipe ramp-two tire-concrete pipe-more tire jump consistently.

[PenguinoMF]

Any one have some tips for the Ski Jump mini game?

[fart_bubble]

Any one have some tips for the Ski Jump mini game?

1. don't hit it straight on, make sure your front wheel is slightly off the ground so you have some arc but not too much.
2. Timing is key, you've got to bail a frame or two right before you hit the wall
3a. Don't go crazy with flailing around on the stick. Up-Right is the direction you want to hold for the whole flight.
3b. Keep in mind that the flight controls are touchy so its pretty hard to hit the sweet spot on any sort of consistent basis.

Try try again

[greyzieoriental]

SO I bought this game today, played it probably for an hour straight, maybe more.

Getting gold once I hit medium was becoming a damn hassle. I got 2 gold medals but need one more for the last mini game. Pretty good game. 1200 points well spent. Now a couple more days for shadow complex and then my 800 points rebate.

[Viva Las Vegas]

I would have loved it if they had some Track & Field style multiplayer. That would have been a huge blast. Imagine 4 players all racing together at the same time and they could ad a time increase to the # of faults you have.

I'm only at medium...or hard, can't remember but I do like that there are a lot of restart markers in each level. So at least you can inch along on the harder levels.

[Scorch]

Man, I remember playing this game years ago on Miniclip.. it's good to see it advance like it has.

Here's the older version:

http://www.miniclip.com/games/trial-bike/en/

[kennistond]

This game made me buy it after the demo. I was hooked. I love this game.

[mang9432]

man inferno II was really hard, definitely felt great after beating it (along with the other extreme levels)

also the last achievement is ridiculous, the #1 score in the world had like 17 faults last time i checked.

[Pratt75]

This game made me buy it after the demo. I was hooked. I love this game.

Same here man, demo had me hooked.

[dubbfoolio]

Any one have some tips for the Ski Jump mini game?
this wasn't obvious to me at first: bailout during jump.

I've hit a wall in King of the Hill. I'm using the 250cc. Is there a better bike to be using for this?

[fart_bubble]

this wasn't obvious to me at first: bailout during jump.


I can never get the same distance when I bail during the jump than when I bail right before the jump, I get too much height in my jump no matter how I position my rider

[whiptcracker]

This game is crack. Just wasted an hour trying to better my placement in the Challenges. Got 97 broken bones! 3 short of a gold. WTF!

I have you on my friends list from CAGFC, and I swear I spent forever just trying to beat that 97 bones score. I got up to 96 :(

You also beat my ski jump score. I wish more people I knew had this game, trying to beat the scores is addictive. I've beaten a few of your times, but some of those harder levels are insane.

[doctorfaustus]

I've added some of you. So far, Deadite and Dubbfoolio are giving me a run for my money; whoever they are.

[sunnysky]

You've got some high scores yourself :bomb:

No one on my friend's list has gotten past the level I'm stuck on, but I get a little further each time (Shipwreck appears to be stuck on the same level). In fact only 5000 people in the world have.

[Droogs]

Feel free to add me... I've run out of scores to beat on my friends list.

ya its addictive. not sure how i got 97 bones, i havent been able to reproduce it. l.uckily theres people on my friends list that have this...even though i dont know them. anyone else feel free to add me as id love more challenges.

[boomer725]

I somehow got 107 bones broke...Can't replicate it for the life of me, but I have no one on my friends list playing this....feel free to add me....sisobe

[fart_bubble]

I suck using the editor. After making my quick and easy test stage, I started making stages that go past the point of controller throwing hard.

The one I'm working on now is almost impossible. If you don't have the most precise run, you hit TNT boxes.

Corrected.

Bastard ruined my evening. Went to play Trials just until Shadow complex was done d/ling but couldn't stop playing Trials until I beat your score.

[KingDox]

awesome game, if you are making levels for it drop me a friend request.

[mcgavin27]

I am stuck on the hard levels. They're frustrating yet so fun to play.

Crap. Well you'll never have to worry about me beating your Delivery score, I have no clue how on earth you pulled that one off.

[moojuice]

o_O
Finally beat Teachnique fault free, and missed gold by 2 seconds and change, but placed 175 on the leaderboards.

[ZForce915]

I got the acheivement for Full Throttle but am having a little trouble with the not moving your rider. I'm really close...

[mang9432]

I got the acheivement for Full Throttle but am having a little trouble with the not moving your rider. I'm really close...

that one is tough. the hardest part is definitely when you have to jump to that little platform and then jump from there to another higher platform. took me about 2 hours to beat. i've gotta add some of you guys to my friends lists for scores.

[woodcan]

I got the acheivement for Full Throttle but am having a little trouble with the not moving your rider. I'm really close...

It's really not all that hard if you just take your time and be mindful of your speed and how it affects your balance on each jump. I'm personally having trouble on the 2nd and 4th Extreme tracks for the "Demon on Wheels" achievement and I haven't even tried the "Marathon" achievement but given that every one of the top 3 on the Extreme track Leaderboards (with 0 faults) last time I checked don't even have that one achievement, I have low hopes.

[Spybreak8]

This game is addictive, I really want to do better and don't care restarting a few, rare in most games lol.

[ravenbear]

loving this game, feel free to add me

[doctorfaustus]

This game gets ridiculously hard in the Extreme mode. It's like they are just throwing vertical ramps up in order to frustrate me. Argh! Any tips for the Extreme levels?

[Razzuel]

The only time brute force stopped working for me was on Inferno II. So, in order to figure out how to beat the level I went to the leaderboards and watched the replay for the guy with the best fault count/time. The replays on the leaderboard really help you understand how the bike should be manipulated—it even shows you the player's controller input.

Other than that I would say just keep trying. If you are having trouble with the near vertical ramps, then you should slowly accelerate, which will greatly reduce the chances of you falling over. Also, if you are having trouble with getting higher on the vertical ramps, then you should be mindful of how you land on a higher portion; when you land make sure the bike is parallel, don't floor it (make sure you gradually accelerate the bike to top speed), and hold forward on the left stick once you get your traction and your speed going.

[DondoKing]

Just picked it up, great game. Gonna add some of you guys. My XBL account is the same as my tag.

[macontosh2000]

Who ever came up with the Unyielding achievement should die a slow and painfull death!:bomb: ;)

I have spent so many hours the last few days trying to get it. I was finally able to get it at 1:30 in the morning.

Feel free to add me.

[m3talst0rm]

Just won this game from TGR and love what I've played of it so far...feel free to add me, I have a feeling I'm going to be playing this for awhile!

Wait, you can view other people's playthroughs? Argh! I've been doing it wrong!

[SteveMcQ]

Do you guys always go with the default bike (the lowest bike on the list you've unlocked) to do the later challenges? It's so tricky when you have to feather the throttle. Makes it even tougher since I listen to podcasts when I play this so I can't hear the engine.

[moojuice]

Yup, I use the one lowest on the list, or the "best" bike at the moment. The sound of the throttle definitely helps. Maybe raise the sound a bit from the menu?

[Droogs]

I don't use the "lowest" bike. I usually use the one with lower acceleration and a higher top speed. It makes it easier to feather the throttle in my opinion plus you can get faster times.

[homeland]

Still can't put this game down. Especially when I see someone (whipt1) beat my scores! This game is true gem. One thing that I would have liked to have seen is adding a ghost, I think it would be pretty damn helpful.

[doctorfaustus]

Okay, this is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure it out. How do you view other players play-throughs?

[doctorfaustus]

Sorry for the double post, but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Is the playback mode on the game itself or do I have to go to a website? Help me. Please.

Highlight the level that you wish to view the replays for. Go to the leaderboards by pressing Y. Then press the right bumper twice to change the leaderboard filter to overall. Highlight the player that you want to view the replay for, then press Y to view his replay.

[Viva Las Vegas]

Love this game. Expect some friend requests for high score challanges, or lack of from me. If anyone on here isn't that great add me so you have some fellow not so great scores that are beatable.

[homeland]

just sent friend invites to a few, need more high score challenges!

[Anth0ny07]

The only time brute force stopped working for me was on Inferno II. So, in order to figure out how to beat the level I went to the leaderboards and watched the replay for the guy with the best fault count/time. The replays on the leaderboard really help you understand how the bike should be manipulated—it even shows you the player's controller input.
Whoa, i had no idea you could do that! Ive been having trouble with all of the extreme tracks so this will definitely come in handy.

[ravenbear]

well i added you viva, not sure how much a challenge in scores I present but having fun with the game

[QiG]

Grabbed this tonight, feel free to add me to compare scores

[Pecan]

I added a few people. I've got 2 tracks that I spent 6-8 hours making, both of them are hard difficulty but very much possible(unlike some of the pray for luck ones a lot of people make >.<)

Check them out if you're decent at hard.

And add me as always. GT - Enragedpecan1

[Spybreak8]

This game has the same addictive gameplay that you experience with Geometry Wars 2. Must, beat, friends, time, score, etc... lol

[n4styn4t3]

Just got this game and I kinda suck at it, but feel free to add me for score challenges.

I'll give your tracks a run next time I'm on. It's been fun trying to beat/compare to your scores so far. As soon as I made it to the Hard level it got extremely difficult for me so it may be a while before I can keep up ;)

[fart_bubble]

I want to play this stage

[homeland]

I actually beat the bomb pull challenge. Thought it was a great feat and then saw i was still 4 figures away from #1.

[VipFREAK]

LMAO @ Indy

[hufferstl]

Feel free to add me, I'm sure I will be the first name you see and pass by on pretty much every track. I love this game, though.

[EnderA6]

great game, and i have a love hate with games with leaderboards. i added a few of you, feel free to add me

[woodcan]

fart_bubble, that was a pretty awesome Indian Jones level.

great game, and i have a love hate with games with leaderboards. i added a few of you, feel free to add me
You sound familiar....I look forward to the leaderboard competition ;)

[Pecan]

My head just exploded. :whee:

Gold medaled the first extreme track with 4 faults 1:52.
First try at it since I beat it :drool:

[Anth0ny07]

:applause: haha wow, that Indiana Jones level looks awesome!

[woodcan]

So, anybody know anything about the 3 (?) bikes that show up at the bottom of the bike selection list that are always identified as "Not Allowed" I think? I mean one of them is just the Ski Jump bike but I wonder why they are there. Do you have to get a bunch of Platinum medals to unlock them? Where do you use them if it looks like every track it looked like they were not allowed? Maybe they are something that will apply to the DLC they are working on...

[QiG]

Added some of you from this thread, so any request from "QiG13" is me

[EnderA6]

flesh, one is the ski jump one, the other is the hauler from the bomb one and im not sure about the last one. i want to ge that indiana jones level

[woodcan]

Yeah, one says something about having some sort of reverse boost.

[QiG]

I'm convinced that this game is pure evil.. I haven't twisted my arms and contorted myself so much in the middle of play since the last time I played my Wii (10 months ago)

[Razzuel]

That Indiana Jones level is amazing. Ugh, it's too bad that custom levels can only be shared with friends.

[Spybreak8]

Wow do I suck at the collecting targets and ski jump skill games. Some of those extremes are crazy, stuck in the level where you have a 2 by 4 piece of wood thats connected to two boxes that you can't get over at all.

[doctorfaustus]

I'm watching the playback for the top time in the second track *Xtreme.* and the guy is just lying there after a crash. It's been 8 minutes and he has not moved. Anyone know what's going on?

[VipFREAK]

he's... taking a breather?

[doctorfaustus]

It's been fifteen minutes.

[VipFREAK]

He's... taking his time?

[doctorfaustus]

I guess his playback is borked. It goes to 30 minutes and just stays on screen. It doesn't loop like the others.

[moojuice]

Are the controls still being manipulated? I notice that with some, a person will crash, but their controls indicate that they are still playing.

[whiptcracker]

Whoa, i had no idea you could do that! Ive been having trouble with all of the extreme tracks so this will definitely come in handy.

If you want to see something odd, check out the replays of anyone in the top ten for the broken bones mini-game. There's some exploit that plays havok with the physics.

[DiscoDuck8k]

After playing the demo a bit, I've decided I must have this game. Too addicting.

Only fault I notice right away is that most of the text is completely illegible on a regular TV. :-(

[Anth0ny07]

Wow, thats crazy. If you want to see another glitch then watch the replay for the #1 dude in the Ski Jump skill game.

If you "fault" you'll never get Gold medals ;)

[Pecan]

I guess his playback is borked. It goes to 30 minutes and just stays on screen. It doesn't loop like the others.

A few of the replays bug out and crash where the user didn't, I figured as much but had it confirmed when one of my replays got stuck bugged :(

On a good note, I've managed to gold every track except the second extreme one 8-)

[ravenbear]

Liked your track "redone" Pecan was a tough one :joystick: in spots but finally managed it. Kudos on the design, especially after I played in editor for first time an made simple track you must have put lots of time into that one.

Loaded my test track, caution: extremly simple

[Pecan]

^^ thx :D

I actually played your track just before reading this. The whole reason I purchased this game was to make/download tracks and none of my other friends have any :cry:

I gold medaled every track now, top 300 on 3 extreme 8-)

Also, workin on another track, little easier than the last 2...being lazy with finishing it.

[Spybreak8]

I have not touched the editor but I plan to sometime. It is a bummer to only share with friends, I already have too many and I can't get more just for this game.

[Anth0ny07]

I hate that you can watch the replays of the people at the top of the leaderboards but you cant watch your friends replays

[woodcan]

I hate that you can watch the replays of the people at the top of the leaderboards but you cant watch your friends replays

You just need better friends ;)

but seriously, in an interview one of the developers stated that the top 5000 scores have replays so as long as your friends rank in the top 5000 they should have a replay.

[woodcan]

On a good note, I've managed to gold every track except the second extreme one 8-)
Damn!

I gold medaled every track now, top 300 on 3 extreme 8-)

there are a few more on this thread who created tracks, zeke an justin come to mind.
still blown away by how well you designed it, I think I am a bit away from that design level but will try another one this weekend.

[Spybreak8]

Decided to watch a replay for the level I was stuck at and omg Lestropie is a god, he has the best times on a few others too. This guy, or girl, makes it look easy.

I had this happen to one of my replays, I am in the top 600 on one of the tracks and on my replay is has me crashing when I obviously didn't. Not sure why it does this, but I noticed it on a couple of other peoples replays on the same track (Logsplosive).

[n4styn4t3]

Finally beat the first extreme track. Still can't beat the last hard track or the other three extremes though. This game is freaking hard.

[woodcan]

Yeah, I'm still stuck on the 2nd and 4th Extreme tracks. At least I improved my time and faults on the 1st Extreme track today but on the 2nd track I keep getting stuck at the same place where there is this rectangular box mid-way up a slope that I can't seem to get my rear wheel over.

[moojuice]

If you're looking to compete with some no-fault times, send me a FR. So far, I have everything up to the last track on hard no-faulted. Maybe it's OCD, but I can't seem to move on to the next track until I complete the previous one without fault.

I couldnt complete games if I went at it like that.
I save the OCD style gaming for after I beat it and can mop up at my leisure.

Ha, I play through a game and then do the OCD, yea. I have done that with any burnout game really, well also the PGR games too, hmm throw in any achievement games on that list while we're at it lol.:)

[KingDox]

wow that indy level is insane. That guy must get a ton of friend requests. Is there anyway to update the first post to include people willing to accept friend request to compete for scores? And maybe a list of people who are making levels?

Also are the levels viral? If I got one from a dude on my friend list, would someone I was friends with but wasn't friends with the creator be able to get the level?

[Spybreak8]

Since you can only share levels with friends, I think a friend of a friend would be logical but I don't know if that's how they have it set up. My guess is no unfortunately. I created two levels and sent a message to the friends on my list who have the game to play em. Friends only really hurts this game's user created content, maybe Microsoft had a hand in this lol?

[fart_bubble]

maybe Microsoft had a hand in this lol?

umm no. Red Lynx said that it doesn't have a community sharing section because its not a retail game so they didn't want to set up servers to hold all of the user made levels. Or thats the reasoning that Red Lynx has given

[Spybreak8]

umm no. Red Lynx said that it doesn't have a community sharing section because its not a retail game so they didn't want to set up servers to hold all of the user made levels. Or thats the reasoning that Red Lynx has given

Yea I guess that makes sense since developing an arcade game instead of a retail game due to budget differences is more sought out considering how complex retail games can get.

[hufferstl]

I wonder if they could have a "community sharing section" as paid DLC, which would pay for the server space? I would be willing to pay for access to non-friends tracks(as long as there was some kind of rating system).

[fart_bubble]

people have asked them about something like that before and they pretty much shot that down pretty quick by pretty much saying that won't happen. Could it be a coding issue with them not writing something in along those lines? Don't know, just shooting in the dark

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if they released some paid DLC consisting of fan made tracks and a couple new bikes

[Anth0ny07]

The only courses i havent beaten yet are the last 3 extreme levels, its so frustrating
Scratch that, now the only course i have to beat is the last extreme level

[mightymaxx]

I'd be interested in sharing IDs for a group fellow Trials players. I'm not good, but I love this game and none of my friends have it.

[Spybreak8]

It was confirmed that RedLynx is making DLC even though we have the level editor, which is awesome news as I can't get enough of this game.

it was obvious that they were going to do DLC in the first place, they had it checked off with having download able content in the game's listing. Plus, considering how well it sold, they would be stupid not to release DLC and milk that sucker dry

Theres a difference between they're releasing dlc sometime down the road and it being confirmed that they are working on it right now. I'm just glad they're supporting this game since its originated from a pc online flash game.

[clockworkgreen]

Will be glad to join anyone's friends list. I don't have any tracks yet, and my times aren't ridiculous great or terrible either. I have all the way to KOTH completed. XBL: bigwinnerx

[Viva Las Vegas]

I'm probably dreaming, but I hope they make some kinda of online multiplayer. Even if it is something like you race as usual and your opponents just show up as dots on the bottom of the screen so you know who is how close to finish they are with how many faults.

[The 7th Number]

I just tried this game today and wow its really fun. I just dont have enough MS points to buy it. Well i do but id rather buy two 800 point games (bubble bobble and Turtles in time) than one 1200 point game and have 400 points left over. Any chance it goes on sale for 800 points for gold members soon?

[FoxHoundADAM]

Loved the demo, really want to pick this up but yeah 1200 points? 800 it would be a sure buy. Hope this goes on sale soon.

[sunnysky]

One of the great things about this game is that, If/When you get to a point that you just can't make it past, you can still go into the skills challenges and have some fun there. Or the tournament section, or "make your own track".
I actually got a lot better at the game through the process of trying to get an achievement. There is an achievement for completing a specific track without leaning AT ALL. It really helped me to understand the physics behind breaking or gassing it while in the air.

[Corvin]

Loved the demo, really want to pick this up but yeah 1200 points? 800 it would be a sure buy. Hope this goes on sale soon.

Yep. Like Lode Runner, I'll be there bright and early the day Trials goes on sale.

[The 7th Number]

Well i caved in and bought it..lol. I ended up buying it off amazon for 15, saving me from having 400 useless points and wasting 5 bucks. So far i made it through all the level up to expert. Havent tried those, but wow some of the hard trials were damn hard. Especially king of the hill stage. If i make any tracks they will be for fun, not difficulty. LOL

[clockworkgreen]

I thought I hit a wall many times, but after practice (and faults, and trying again the next day, etc) I finally got through KOTH and all the Extreme levels, too.

The difficulty gets ratcheted up very quickly, and you need to adapt. But getting through all the levels is definitely up there with my recent gaming accomplishments. Sad as that may sound.

[FoxHoundADAM]

How did these guys get this for $10 from Amazon?

[moojuice]

It was $10 for a few days (or maybe a day, I dunno) when it was put up on Amazon. Same with MvC2

[The 7th Number]

Im stuck on "Goin' Up!".... sigh. Its the first time i found out there is a 30 minute time limit. I got to the train tacks, couldnt get up that. Almost did but not good enough. Then i tried to do it again and got stuck on the 2nd obstacle. lol.

[Spybreak8]

Master balancing the bike left or right, you'll be able to do a lot then. You can always check out the replays of the people on the leaderboards too.

[The 7th Number]

Why didnt they add a restart option for tournaments? No i have to quit, then select all the stuff all over again just to try again getting gold. Im trying to get the mini bike but i ususally fall more than once or not make the time.

Also whats with all the 00:00 times on the leaderboard. I assume its somone useing a glitch. They should delete those.

Ive also been trying to beat some times. Im wondering if the Phoenix bike is the best for that, or maybe the Scorpion bike could be better since its faster and seems heavier.

EDIT: Sweet i used the scorpion bike and got gold in the tournament to win the mini bike. It does seem less likely to bounce around.

[The 7th Number]

Wow the extreme levels are hard as hell. I only have 1 left to finish, that being Inferno II. I get to the part after the tires, where i have to jump on two slanted platforms. I was able to get to the 2nd bigger slanted one a few times but i just fell back. I try to press forward to go up it and it just bounces my back tire in the air and down i go. Then if i dont press forward my dude flies into a backwards flip. Its annoying as hell.

I really like some of the early levels, and trying to beat the fastest time. I hate the later levels where you have to climb up walls. Also hate levels with rocks.

I was able to get 1 platinum medal on Tired Hill. My time is ranked 532 overall and i can see my replay online. :)

This one jump probably took me 1000 faults to finally get with any kind of regularity (like after 10-20 tries).

I let off the gas in mid-air and as soon as I hit that last slanted board (my bike being parallel to the board), I tap the gas a little bit...enough for the back tire to catch and that lets me position myself. That lets me stay almost stationary on the board and allows me the power needed to make the jump across the chasm.

I took a lot of time on the middle board just practicing keeping my guy on the board in balance. Drifting down to the bottom, going to the top, down to the bottom, going to the top, with a little gas here and there. That skill, I think, is definitely needed for the next jump and helps with almost every hill.

[The 7th Number]

Only need 3 more achievements.

- Finish all extreme tracks (need to beat Inferno II)
- Beat Groundhog Returns without changing position (almost made it once)
- Beat Ultimate Endurance Tournament without a fault. (haha no chance in hell)

I give out high praise to the people who can actually get the Beat Ultimate Endurance Tournament without 1 fault achievement! That has to be seriously hard.

[Spybreak8]

I don't see his posts as spamming. He's posting relavant comments abuot the game. What's wrong with that? At least he's keeping the thread alive and active.

[Spybreak8]

Are you kidding me, he give us a play by play review, I don't spam how many achievements I need to get in a thread or which ones I have. I just feel if you're constantly going to ask questions or talk about the game head on over to the Xbox forums where they have that info and community.

I havent beaten it either. Only track i havent beaten. Its that damn part right after the tires with the 2 slanted wooden platforms. I can only get to the 2nd bigger slanted platform a few times and when i do i always fail. :bomb:

[Pecan]

Feel free to add me still, have pretty high ranks on most of the upper 2 difficulty levels of tracks. I've also made a few tracks.

I don't play trials to much anymore, but if your looking for more tracks to play or scores to beat, Enragedpecan1 is my GT.

WOOT! Just BEAT INFERNO II!!!. I also had problems on the slanted ramps but I finally got lucky. It only too me three tries. First two I used up the 30 min. then on the third one it took just 118 restarts and 8 min. Not bad.

Congrats dude! Im a little bit jealous lol.

[FoxHoundADAM]

The trick on the slanted ramps is to rev you engine right as you land but don't try to shift your weight until your on your way down from your second bounce. Then don't rev your engine, jst tap until you get control on the second ramp. then pray you do
nt pop a wheelie as you try to make the jump. Once you get past this part it's clear sailing.

I think I've spent about 600+ faults on that section alone.

[crunchewy]

I recently got this and it's great. However ther is one skill I haven't figured out - climbing steep inclines with bumps, ledges and such. Some of the Hard levels have me stumped. I believe the first two hard levels for example (not the tutorial). I've actually done most of the ones after that, but those two I'm stuck on. Anyone have advice on this?

[Droogs]

Is there any news as far as DLC for this game? I would love some new levels to tackle and it would seem pretty easy for them to pump some out. I'd certainly buy them.

[sunnysky]

according to the developer when interviewed by Major Nelson, they are definitely working on DLC. Just not sure when it'll be out.

Floor it while your on level ground and flick the stick backwards. When you get onto the slope and have a little bit of air immediately bring it forward and make your wheels parallel to the slope. You may need some good throttle control once your up to avoid doing a wheely.

[Lbgrowl]

I've beaten all my friends' scores on trials and I'm looking for some "advanced" players on CAG to add to my friends list. Add me if you've gotten some exceptional scores so I can try to beat them, or add me if you want some reasonably good scores to compete against.

The DLC is a day-one purchase for me. I love this game.

They're also going to be pushing out a free patch with, among others stuff, a change to the Ultimate Endurance challenge and achievement that will make it easier. It will now have only Beginner, Easy and Medium difficulty tracks in it. Same requirement of 0 faults for the achievement, but it's achievable by mere mortals now. They are going to be giving a unique t-shirt (EDIT: a real t-shirt, not avatar) touting the accomplishment to people who managed to get the achievement with the original set of tracks, though. Nice. Offhand I can't remember the release date of the patch. Might be the same day.

Of the original tracks, I only have Inferno II to complete, plus, of course, lots of improvement needed for all the tracks. I've got golds through most of the hard difficulty levels, but no platinums. Don't even ask the number of faults I've had on the extreme tracks. :)

[Spybreak8]

Haha yea I stopped playing this game due to the extreme levels but I can see myself purchasing this and getting right back into the mayhem!

[sunnysky]

Sweet

[willc23]

Thanks. By playing time, this and 'Splosion Man have been my GsOTY.

The trailer for Big Pack is out (this is not the "teaser"!)

Was that space?!

[fart_bubble]

Was that space?!

not only that, it looks like those moons also have gravity

[The 7th Number]

Wow that looks awesome....cant wait for it.

[crunchewy]

Bump to note that the Big Pack is out, as is the update. I installed the update last night, so the DLC might have been available then as well - not sure. I won't be able to download the Big Pack until Xmas as that's when I'll be getting a stock of points. Anyone already get the DLC?

New achievements:

Bounce 5 trampolines in succession in Skyway to reach new heights.

Thats a great deal for only 400 points. Im going to download it now.

[Spybreak8]

Lol its a sign of the gods, I have exactly 400 points in my account atm and I loved this game.

Edit: Awesome, awesome to the max lol. No really, I was like oh I have to remember the name of this level because its my favorite, oh wait I have to remember the name of THIS level because its my favorite. The added pieces to the levels are really cool and my fav has to be the vent level, which I had to go back and get a gold medal on the national tournament in order to unlock the donkey bike!

wtf I have 5 Microsoft Points now because I had 405 before, what am I going to do with 5 freakin' points!?

[fart_bubble]

the 1-Bit stage is pretty cool, never thought of trying to create something like that

[sunnysky]

Wow. I thought this wasn't coming out until next week.
I've already downloaded it. Sweet.

[crunchewy]

I can not wait for xmas, and a new supply of points. Sigh.

[Spybreak8]

I'm enjoying the new skill games as well. I also like that you can have the flaming jet propulsion thing in levels now. I can't wait to make a new level and mess around with all the new stuff!

[DiscoDuck8k]

Nice value for only 400 points. Despite how frustrating this game is, I still enjoy it.

Also glad they made the Ultimate Endurance tournament easier; this achievement is definitely doable now. My faults are usually cause I get slightly careless, that's all.

[jgerry]

I played about half of the new levels last night. Good stuff in there! I didn't much care for the 1-bit level, but the Space Station level is cool. Also love some of the new obstacles, the fans that float you are fun.

I still want the ability to download ANYONE'S levels, not just my friends'. I also want them to drop the price of the game itself to $10. I have had trouble selling my friends on the $15 purchase, even though they play the game at my house and love it. Cheap bastards! I want more friends playing this game so I have more people to compete with.

[fart_bubble]

anyone know what the Dangerous Ride achievement is? I've got the other two but no idea on this one

[Spybreak8]

I loved the 8 bit stage, totally reminded me of Elastomania!

[Mikkey]

I only have 210 points :(, I really want this right now. Is there anyway I can get just get/earn an extra 200 pts? or am I gonna be stuck using XBL to get 1000pts? (to make it all even)

[crunchewy]

I got the DLC this morning and played a bit. I also loved the 8 bit stage - pretty awesome.

I'd like to add all here as friends so we can compare times and/or share levels (though I have none yet). I'm "crunc is"

[DiscoDuck8k]

After completing all of the Extreme tracks, I can say Inferno 2 is something I never want to experience ever again. Finished with barely three minutes remaining, 346 faults, and I'm proud of even that.

[wakawakawa]

Got the DLC. Did all the medium tracks, they were all really good. I would say they were actually better than the original medium tracks. Still working on hard ones.

[Pecan]

DLC is a steal at 400 ms points imo.

I started messing around with the new editor objects too.
If anyone is interested in some shared tracks feel free to add me - Enragedpecan1

Looks like there is a freezing glitch on the new bone breaking skill game (forgot the actual title). I have had it freeze the system, requiring a restart, several times. Anyone else having this problem? According to Redlynx's forums they are aware of it, but no immediate fix as they are out for the holidays. Only semi-successful workaround is to spam the A button when you start the game.

A little disappointed because that is one of my most played skill games. Good news is that there is so much new stuff to keep me occupied. Hopefully a fix is imminent.

Its kind of annoying how long it takes to save after a run sometimes on the DLC tracks. Sometimes i just cancel the save to get playing again.

haven't had that problem but the leaderboards of the new skill games is really glitchy. Scores tend to not show up and I've beaten a few of my high scores only for it to not save them
