Between the quest for platinum medals, unlockable bikes and outfits, Easter eggs in every stage, and the ludicrously skilled competition on the leaderboards, Trials Fusion's replay value is through the roof. The leaderboards themselves provide much of the fun, since you can race against your friends' ghosts or observe the masters at work with easy-access replays of the top times. It's impossible to beat the later levels through sheer luck-you need to master the delicate art of bunny hopping and practice your leaning finesse if you want any hope of a bronze medal, let alone a spot on the leaderboards. Trials Fusion is at its best when it simply focuses in on its greatest strength: incredibly challenging stage design that forces you to improve, with instantaneous retries to minimize any frustration. In a Trials game, losing sight of your rider for even a split second becomes a massive handicap. And even if the visuals are crisp and colorful, they're sometimes obscured by excessive bloom lighting or nighttime dimness. There are plenty of outdoor tracks set in temple ruins and dense jungles, though they only show up halfway through the 42-stage progression. Although the neo-metropolitan backgrounds are graphically gorgeous, they end up feeling a little samey, opting for pristine, almost plastic-looking environments instead of gritty, earthy landscapes. While the futuristic spin is neat, it introduces some blatant problems to the Trials formula. For my money, asynchronous competition via the leaderboards is the highlight of Trials Fusion's multiplayer, and kept me glued to the screen for hours in an effort to prove my biking superiority. It's great as a party game, as you watch four ill-fated bikers flail around or fall down bottomless pits-but the limited track selection and minimal customization options make it pretty short lived.
TRIALS FUSION EASTER EGGS SERIES
Trials Fusion's local multiplayer is pretty much what you'd expect: a series of brief, streamlined stages for up to four players, with most of the challenge or need for dexterity taken out of the equation.
