Trails HD

Post by Fairweather Pure »

This is a "summer of arcade" title on the 360. It's selling for 1200 ms points, but you can also get it on Amazon for 10$.

Holy shit this game is fun. It's fast becoming one of my all time favorite Live games, rankng up there with BF 1943 and Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Basically, you drive a motorcross guy through some insane physics based courses. The controls are simple and intuitive. The gameplay is fast and furious, but gets pretty difficult on the harder levels. It's addictve as hell. I find it very hard to put the controller down once I've started a level. It also has as a great save system that makes things move along at a good rate.

I highly recommend it. Check the demo out if you get a chance.

Here is a video to give you an idea.

Although I have never played Trails 2 on PC, I've read that many consider Trails HD to be significantly better. If you do pick it up, I would like to hear if you echo that opinion or not.

Smooth 60fps and excellent lighting in the game too. Oh yeah, you can also design your own courses and share them.

Is it as frustrating as Splosion Man? I sorta gave up on that half way through the game and haven't really had a desire to finish it.

No. Not nearly as frustrating due to the save system.

On sale for $10 (800 points) on XBLA.. Today only! I'll probably try the demo when I get home and purchase if it's decent.

Bought through Marketplace.xbox.com

I really enjoyed the demo for this but 1200 was too steep for me.

And if anyone else is looking for it, it's Trials HD not Trails. Thread create fail.

There is a motocycle racing style actually called Trials.
I used to race trials when I was a kid. My brother raced motocross.
Trials isn't motocross... kinda like how BMX is not Velodrome.

I tried the demo but it didn't really grab me since I crashed like 40 times on the third course. Maybe I'll give it a try a bit later. Have to decide by the end of the day!
