Trials 2 Second Edition

Every once in awhile a developer drops a little gem of a game out on the market with little fanfare. In my opinion, Trials 2 is one of those games. As a guy on his motorcycle, you use accelerating. braking, and leaning forward and backward to navigate scaffolding, stacked pallets, ramps and other random obstacles in what looks like a giant warehouse. With the goal being low times to complete tracks, there is a sense of urgency causing you to risk completing courses with speed and big air.

What makes this game shine is the relatively polished physics engine, which seems fairly realistic as you lean forward and backward to try and set up your landings. In later levels, there are even objects you need to knock over with your bike and drive over to complete the course. Adding to the fun even more is the effect of said physics when you fall, which causes your body to painfully flop on the ground when you wipe out. This will keep you entertained as you try to figure the game out.

There is a demo out, the full version is $9.99. you can pick it up through their site, but its also on steam

Here is a link to the game's site:
