    The game is a more relaxed version of Trials. It is definitively easier to play (easier to stay on the bike, and you can die and still unlock the next level). Like in Far Cry Blood Dragon, there's some mini animated retro cutscenes between missions with a voluntarily totally illogical story-line and some just as cheesy (and funny) sentences.

It is definitively easier to play (easier to stay on the bike, and you can die and still unlock the next level). Like in Far Cry Blood Dragon, there's some mini animated retro cutscenes between missions with a voluntarily totally illogical story-line and some just as cheesy (and funny) sentences. Levels are highly dynamic, everything falls and explode as you go, with some really psychedelic events happening all the time, playing on gravity, etc. They also keep throwing you in different vehicles, different environments and making you do new things so that you do not get bored of repeating the same thing over and over. They also added some shooting sections which add to the gameplay. Unfortunately, it is quite short (completed in 2 sittings) and not offering lot of replayability. It's not meant to be a challenging game with high scores and such, just an arcade style campaign that you can play through and go along for the ride.

    After having a blast completing the game, I go online to praise it and am really surprised to read that everybody hate it.    … Expand

    If this game had nothing but driving, it would’ve been fine. But for some reason Redlynx decided to add on-foot levels that are exemplary bad: controls are wonky, character is likely to get stuck in the ground, and level design is bland at best. You literally have to endure playing through them – and they take as much as a third of the game. [Issue#211, p.60]

    I hope next Trials game will be developed entirely by RedLynx, because the motorcycle levels in TotBD are as good as ever, but the rest is simply a foreign body. [08/2016, p.71]

    The Trials component of this crossover came out swinging, with inventive level design and a host of enjoyable new mechanics, but Blood Dragon deserved better than this.
