Review: Urban Trial Freestyle

urban-trial-freestyle

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to demo Urban Trial Freestyle, from Tate Multimedia.  Urban Trial Freestyle is available now via the 3DS eShop for $5.99.  For me, there was an immediate flashback to Excite Bike, and that alone made my heart pitter patter for more.  Starting out, you have your bike, your character, and a city course to explore.  However, as you progress and earn money, you have the opportunity to upgrade.

The physics of the game cane be a bit tricky at times, for example I traveled a good deal of the first course on my back tire leaning more backwards that is humanly possible, but I was able to get a feel for it quickly.  There are also some areas of the course that take some thought to figure out, for example when you have to ride up a wall and flip backwards onto the ledge behind you.  Another fun part is the course creator, another throwback to Excite Bike, and the ability to create seemingly impossible courses for your friends to complete.

The 3D in the game is rather good, as are the graphics and music.  There were times that the terrain started to blend together, but that is normal for me after playing with the 3D on for a while.  If you are a fan of Excite Bike, or biking games that involve physics, this will be the game for you.  Oh yeah, if you buy it by July 4th, you get a 20% discount!
