Trial And Error – Urban Trial Freestyle
Urban Trial Freestyle developers have mixed various concepts and created their own game style but instead of crafting a really good game with the best bits from other games they managed to screw it up in terms of what the gamers out there wanted.
The game itself is fine as long as you don’t expect a Trials or Joe Danger game as this game is nothing like them except for the viewpoint and main concept, this game is more like the Kult classic game Kickstart and Kickstart II from Magnetic Fields.
Training and general instructions and the first thing you will notice are how hard the game is, a few levels later it gets extremely hard and towards the end even harder so don’t expect this game to be an easy trophy whore game as it ain’t even if the trophy descriptions look that way.
Yeah!!! a trick!, but that’s just a backflip and its one you can do for fun (same with Front flip) but its not exactly a reason to why you should do it and its the only 2 tricks you can pull off and this is why i mentioned Kickstart and Kickstart II from the old days and how it ain’t like Joe Danger and Trials.
Kickstart and Urban Trial Freestyle has a lot in common actually, it’s a side-scrolling trial game where you have to drive as fast as possible without doing tricks (more or less) unless its a special place or it from A to B, go fast, go slow, tilt your bike and so on.
Another great feature with this game is that there is next to no loading times when it comes to the actual retry/restart race process and that is great because you will have to do it a lot, screenshot above is me doing a near perfect run and when you manage to master it then the game is kick ass good.
Here is another shot of a long jump location and if you look closer… another face plant just before i even got to the frickin ramp…
Graphics in the game is ok, there ain’t any slowdowns or problems like that and handling seems ok when you get used to it but this game is ruined by track design and general game design by making it way too difficult.
If Kickstart on the C64 or Amiga was your thing back in the day then you must try this game as its similar in many ways but keep in mind that this game has old school type difficulty and unfair.
The game is on both PSVITA and PS3 but it’s not Crossbuy so already there it managed to piss some people off.
