Trials is one of those games that doesn't look like much, isn't built very well, and really overuses gimmicky stuff, but under all that lies the single greatest pure-gameplay 2d platformer you can get. It doesn't show its charms well at first, but as the levels get harder, you have to learn and invest in playing well, using your momentum shifts and springs in nuanced intentional ways, and it becomes all about skillful traversal. It rewards that skill with even more tricky play, and lots more content, in particular due to the genuinely fantastic player community of content builders. Sure, it looks like a goofy motorcycle trick game, but it blooms fantastically with experience. Just take the concept of 2d platforming, make jumping and motion-control deep and rich skill-based actions, and then build the whole thing around that. Trials games offer many avenues to enjoy them, from sightseeing levels and cute gimmicks, to speed clearing (where even easy tracks often have lines that benefit from more advanced skills to get near the best times), to focusing on handling challenging obstacles, to pointlessly extreme levels of challenge that take actual years of practice with the game. I personally don't play too far into that space, as it gets kind of silly. I'm content with how heinously challenging things closer around the "merely" Extreme tier tracks get :) Even so, I consider it positive that the gameplay is good enough to support that, both on core action and player investment. Plus you have level creation, which is a whole other area to experience the games, although players to enjoy your levels are far fewer nowadays (and Evolution makes distributing levels far more challenging). I'd suggest Evolution and Rising as starting places for exploring the Trials series. Rising has the best total package and in-game level quality, if it runs for you (MAKE SURE!) and doesn't get shutdown from its boneheaded online requirement. Rising also uses anti-cheat, further limiting its platform flexibility, and you must disable/block Steam Input, or all in-game button prompts become LS. Evolution has the best pure gameplay, and solid enough levels, but you only get user content from archives players pass around, and you can only find replays from video sites, as servers are long closed, severely limiting your ability to learn from others in-game. Evolution also jankily rolls two different Trials games together (Evolution and HD), drops their DLC expansions entirely (significant losses in both levels and custom level building), and does it poorly, as you are stuck playing through the weakest levels in each game sequentially, dragging out the somewhat poorer early game experience. Fusion has the worst in-game content by far , but the largest and most active community level archive and the technically deepest gameplay. While Fusion's gameplay/feel isn't as good, the extreme depth it can be pushed to is notable, but goes to lengths that I'd personally call excess. Evolution and Rising both offer extreme depth rich with play beyond most games, just Fusion goes even further down those rabbit holes, allowing tests of even more extreme-for-the-sake-of-extreme precision and nuance. For any Trials game, get the complete edition. For Evolution, there's no option, as PC only got the weird HD+Evolution combo and none of the Xbox's DLC (a major loss, those jerks). For Fusion, you need all the DLC for objects used by custom levels. For Rising, you need the DLC to smooth out the poorly designed progression (try to do Trials University levels when they become available and follow the RedLynx contract series that walks you through the game from level to level, and you'll have far fewer unpleasant blockages as you go through content gates). It's also important to note that Ubisoft has tainted all three games not just with their core corporate disability towards quality and good fun, but their clunky "Ubisoft Connect" DRM client, which will relentlessly pester you to re-enter your password for starting Evolution or Fusion (true even if you get the games directly through Ubisoft). It's a real shame Ubisoft still refuses to relent and just let Steam games be Steam games, even if it would breathe fresh life into so many of their products. Speaking of strange support choices, Steam achievements were randomly added well after the whole series was essentially abandoned by devs and players, so the community percentages on all of them are comically skewed to the very few people who have booted up the game after mid-2025. It's important to note though that some achievements are truly annoying, and some outlandishly difficult, so achievement completionists should be wary. Fusion especially should not be played for achievements, as they revel in the worst things about the game (the devs cannot seem to help themselves using their level building tools to construct horrible minigames and other such challenges that just don't feel good ) and will be abusive misery to go through. Again, don't let the jank and the clunky early experience put you off. These have some truly great gaming to offer, if you enjoy skill based 2d action, and the track-building community has contributed outstanding work that ought to be the centerpiece of the game.

ALL ONLINE AND MULTIPLAYER removed. The game is still fun, but its lacking, not being able to compare your times to friends or other people online takes away the most fun part for me personally, I still like it for the nostalgia and the soundtrack is great, but this is literally a shell of the game it once was.

This game literally gave me a nostalgia fever playing this again in 2025. I remember playing this back in the Xbox 360 days and it's still great to this day. Unfortunately it is plagued by ubisoft's game launcher that requires you to create an account...
