If you liked that game, you will like this one. The graphics are excellent, and some of the backgrounds are extremely pretty. However, a few graphical glitches mar the otherwise unobjectionable presentation. I've noticed that the game is extremely prone to having delayed texture load ins when you restart a level, and on one level I noticed an area would always load in late (there was a big white hole there until the texture for the dirt loaded). The controls are the same as the previous games, tight and fair. One warning before I conclude: this is a bloody hard game. Casual gamers should look elsewhere, as I imagine there are plenty of people who wouldn't have the patience to beat the game, and if you're a perfectionist and want 100% good friggin luck. As I said earlier, if you like the series than this entry won't disappoint. If you've never played this game, get ready for a challenge that is not unlike dark souls in how addictive and satisfying the difficulty is. If they fix all the bugs in this game, it would be a 9, but for now it's an 8. Expand

    So seeing that I had never tried any Trials games or anything close to this before I was very skeptical about buying Fusions at first; however, the lack of games on PS4 right now pushed me to give it a try and I was not disappointed. This game is incredibly fun, challenging and overall entertaining.

This game is incredibly fun, challenging and overall entertaining. The graphics are really quite impressive and the gameplay is a new and interesting experience for me. If you're like me and have never played a game like this I would encourage you to try the demo first because it can be extremely difficult and not appealing to some but overall it's great. I would like some more customization in characters and bikes but the options available are still what I had expected. What I didn't expect what the incredible track creator. The options and things you can make are amazing. A little difficult to learn to use at first but give it some time and mess around and the options are insane. I highly look forward to playing others' custom tracks. Also, I bought the version that comes with the season pass and I must say that I am very excited to see what they add in the future because this game has a lot of promise and potential.

    Pros:
    -Simple and Tight Controls
    -Exciting and Challenging Gameplay.
    -Outstanding Environmental and Physical Visuals.
    -Endless Custom Track Creation.
    -Very Fun Multiplayer.
    -Music. I think the music is great in most situations but sometimes it feels like there could be more.

    Cons:
    -Pretty rare but some small, noticeable visual errors do occur.
    -Editor controls take some real getting used to (They have tutorials posted online to get you started though)

    Overall, I really have enjoyed this game a lot in this first day of playing it. The first impression was very good and I can see myself picking this up and playing it a lot in the future. It has exceeded my expectations. I would not say its a must buy because the price plus season pass version will cost ya $40 but if you're looking for something new or are a fan of the Trials games this is an excellent game.

    Before I had got Trials Fusion, I had never really played games like this before. But I gave it a chance anyways. And I absolutely LOVE IT.

    The good thing about games like this is that they never get old, I'll never want to sell this game, it'll always be fun. And it offers practically limitless content. You get about 70 tracks in the game on release date, which vary in difficulty. And

You get about 70 tracks in the game on release date, which vary in difficulty. And you have tons of tracks to download from people who have created them. Not to mention the 6 DLC packs which will come out at a future date.

    The game is really quite challenging. When I got to the "Skill Showcase" I actually quit the game for a little bit because I didn't think I could do well. But practice makes perfect and now I've completed the whole game and got silver medals on all the tracks.

    The graphics for this game are also really impressive for a 2D dirt bike physics game.

    I don't see how you can give a game this fun and timeless anything but a 10/10. This is a game you can pick up and play and have fun with 3-4 years down the road.

The game is slated to release April 16th for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, and an April 24th release for PC.

The game is slated to release April 16th for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, and an April 24th release for PC. RedLynx and Ubisoft pulled out all the stops on this game with tighter controls and enhanced graphics. So strap on your helmets and lets throw up some dirt as we get into the nitty gritty of Trials Fusion.

    Trials Fusion delivers a healthy dose of white knuckled adrenaline rush action, and man does it feel good. I found myself squirming in my seat on several occasions due to amount of intensity this game packs into each and every level. Trials Fusion offers a career mode that has several different landscapes or “Events” with their own climate and scenery. Your objective is to reach the finish line of each level and collect your medal. Medals are awarded depending on your clearance time and how many times you crashed or “faulted”. Progressing through the levels earns you new apparel, bikes, and body kits. Included with each level are 3 challenges, just little quirks you can do to gain some experience points. Some of these challenges can be finished with relative ease while others might make you stop and think of a game plan.

    Each Event also has a training level just to familiarize players with obstacles they will be facing in later tracks. My personal favorite was the training level that teaches you how to properly perform stunts. I enjoyed the idea of spreading out the training levels across the Events so that way I didn’t have to sit through one long tutorial. Along with the training levels players will also come across Skill Game levels that can also be complete for metals. These Skill Games can range from achieving the highest altitude off of a ramp to scoring a huge stunt score. In my opinion these are some of the best levels in the game and I wish there would’ve been more to mess around with.

    Players can customize almost anything they want in this game. Anything from costumes, body kits, and wheels can be interchanged and used to make all new combinations. Not only that, but if you can customize it, chances are you can colorize it to your liking as well. Players are offered a whole color wheel of different choices allowing you to truly stand out in the crowd. The different costumes are awesome and can be earned from leveling up or earning various achievements throughout the game. This goes the same for wheels and body kits which can be earned in several different ways. Feel free to customize everything to your liking and become your own creative identity.

    Now before we go any further i wanted to make a point to talk about the game controls. When it comes to being tight and well tuned Trials Fusion scores big. I felt I had complete controls of my character throughout the game. I was able to position my rider for a safe landing from ramps and falls with relative ease. Of course being able to do so is just determined on the amount of time you dedicate to the game. These controls are so simple and yet so well refined that I feel like RedLynx wanted you to know that if you crashed it was your fault, not the game’s. The implementation of the Trick system was really cool and added so much intensity to the game and a made players pose a challenge to themselves.

    The addition of challenges and skill games really made this game enjoyable for me and added a lot to the replay value. The early Events are pretty easy and rarely require you to let off the gas. As you progress through the Events making it to the finish does become a bit more of a challenge, especially in the last 3 events. In fact, my only complaint was that I felt that the learning curve was too extreme, it starts off easy and next thing you know you’re having to bunny hop across a ravine and ride up a almost perfectly erect wall. This quarrel however can be written off as just me lacking the skill to maneuver the bikes properly. That being said this game does require some time and patience. I’ll admit that I had over 50 faults in just one level. While it was frustrating to say the least, completing that level gave me an overly joyed sense of accomplishment. For our readers who are completionists and aim to 100% everything, you guys are in for a treat.

    The landscapes are absolutely beautiful to say the least. Trials Fusion runs at a silky smooth 1080p and 60fps for the PS4 and 900p and 60fps for Xbox One. The environments were so surreal and sometimes the environment interacted with the rider in ways that were incredibly clever. This relationship also worked in reverse, having the players impact the environment just by completing the level or certain challenges. I experienced no frame rate drops or rendering issues while playing through the entirety of the game.

    Good game! Trials Fusion doesn't have an engine improvment, but still a very nice game, with great maps, great challanges and great fun, the most spectacular thing is what's happening in the map, each map has one event happening, witch makes the roads much more epic.

    I just think that Ubisoft should make a online multiplayer mode, it would match with the game, but we need to think about

    The level designs are amazing, with insane jumps, crazy loop-the-loops, exploding objects, extremely detailed backgrounds and a hilarious end animation once the run is complete.
    The graphics are super sharp, colourful and look fantastic. The sound is realistic and the soundtrack is a pumping futuristic feel good score keeping you excited throughout.
    There are plenty of unlockables, bikes, kits, rims etc and because it’s a Ubisoft title you can link up with uplay to earn cool items such as a squirrel helmet.
    This is the type of fun game the PS4 has needed to keep us hanging on until the AAA titles arrive in summer. A great game and, loads of fun. I’m already addicted and can’t wait to get home and play again.

I noticed a review saying there isn't multiplayer, but there is local multiplayer. Also, the game is designed for one rider on one track trying to get the best time, trophies, etc... So this game is a competitive leaderboard game, try to be the fastest racer or score the most points on the track, etc... I don't know how I missed the previous titles, this is the game I've always wanted to play. Basically it makes you master the physics of a MX bike (or one ATV so far) on tracks that are bursting with imagination. Some of the challenges are extremely difficult, like keeping your front wheel off of a certain part of the track, requiring perfect balance and timing on your part. When you master all of the tracks you have, you can go and make your own. Lastly, the developers have already announced 6 DLC packs, and have been constantly patching and tweaking this game. This is a cult title, you will either play through the courses once (or maybe enough times to get a gold medal) and afterwards wonder why you paid $20 for it, or you spend time to try to be the best and master the bikes and tracks to top the leaderboards, and feel your money was well spent. Also, I guess you could just have fun with it! Expand

    I play this game A LOT as I have with other Trials games, so I will try to be as in-depth as possible.

    I play this game A LOT as I have with other Trials games, so I will try to be as in-depth as possible.

    Pros:
    If you are a true fan of trials, it IS another trials game and you wont be disappointed.

    Plenty of tutorials just like before in Trials Evolution, so that really helps if you're new. Not to mention you can also watch replays of other riders on the leaderboards, which helps new and experienced players.

    It looks very.. pretty. It is definitely an upgrade from Evolution. And to those that say these are 'last gen graphics'.. Let's not forget that this is still a relatively small developer and the game is 20 dollars.

    The addition of FMX and the quad bike. While some people may not like it, I personally appreciate the effort in adding to the game so you aren't just grinding tracks all day with the same two bikes. The quad bike makes you learn a completely new bike that we haven't experienced before, and FMX adds something completely new to the game that is fun once you learn it well and it is a nice break from doing regular tracks. Even though the controls for tricks are pretty wonky. Another thing about FMX, if you are concerned that your skill on FMX tracks will effect your ranking on the global leaderboards, don't worry it wont. Just like skill games don't count, neither do FMX tracks. The quad bike tracks count though.

    Challenges. What an awesome idea, seriously. I am well aware that not everybody is like me where as they want to go back and platinum every track, or even try to better their time further after receiving a platinum medal. But this gives everyone a whole new reason to go back and replay each track. Each track has three challenges that you can choose to complete. Some are easy, while some are rather difficult.

    The level system. You get XP from completing official tracks with the highest medal possible, completing challenges, and what is also interesting is you can get XP from completing user created tracks, and that adds to your overall level. The level serves no other purpose than unlocking outfits for your rider, different wheels for your bike, and things like that. But it is definitely cool that you get rewarded for playing user created tracks.

    The track editor. I personally can't really speak for it, so take this with a grain of salt. But I have heard that they added a lot more items and apparently you can do more with the editor now. This is what I have heard, I personally don't use the editor. So like I said. Grain of salt.

    Cons:
    Less customization for bikes. This to me, really sucks. I loved being able to customize every color for each part of my bike in Evolution, and now the wheels and body of the bike are the only things you can change. Why they decided to do this, I have no idea. But it is a little disappointing.

    Sound. Gahhhh Redlynx WHY? The announcers are AWFUL. We fully understand that your sense of humor sucks, and we understand that because of the infamous Trials Evolution opening rap song. I'm just glad you can turn the announcers off, so thank you for that. The music isn't that great, but I think it's an improvement over Evolution.

    The 'thumbs up thumbs down' rating system for user tracks. This sucks. It really does. If I remember correctly, in Evolution you could rate user tracks 0 through 5, which makes a lot more sense. Sometimes I like a track a little, but certain things I don't like. I don't want to give them a fully positive or fully negative rating for that track, I should be able to rate it in the middle. All this causes is really crappy tracks to get rated 80+% positive, so you are led to believe it is fairly decent, when it really isn't.

    Uplay. Ugh. I saw this coming when I saw that they had Ubisoft as their publisher back when Trials Evolution: Gold Edition came out on the PC. While it isn't that big of a deal, it would be REALLY NICE if it would actually work. I know not everybody has this problem, but some of us do. I STILL cannot link my Uplay account, which causes me to miss little features of the game. Nothing huge, but it's still there. Fix it, damnit.

    Other thoughts:
    I have this section here to just talk about multiplayer. I am very disappointed that online multiplayer isn't available at this time, because that was one of my favorite features of Evolution. The reason this isn't a con, is because Redlynx says that they will add it later. Which I really hope comes sooner than later. But in my opinion, I'm glad they released the game now, rather than waiting for multiplayer to be finished. It gives everybody plenty of time to familiarize themselves with all of the tracks before diving right into multiplayer. Hopefully it will be even better than Evolution, and hopefully they wont have that crazy leaderboards glitch with multiplayer like they did before.

    If you have never played a trials game, check out the demo. If you like the gameplay, then go for it. It's worth it.

    I'm almost out of characters, hah. I hope this review was helpful.

    If you are, however tired of the series then this game won't really offer you much of anything new. The FMX tracks are a new addition to the series but they aren't that numerous and not my favorite type of track in any case.

    There’s something uniquely thriling about all the crazy futuristic touches in Trials Fusion, with sliding platforms and hoverships and weird purple alloys and force fields. I say that I couldn’t care less about all the customizable constume bits, but I still find myself playing dress up with my motorcyclist. I mean, I paid to unlock those costume bits, so I might as well use them.
