Review: Urban Trial Freestyle (DarkZero)

"Urban Trials Freestyle was an unexpected surprise for 3DS owners, with its release being kept under wraps until very recently. Over the past few years, there have been some incredible trials games, but this is the first one to come to the 3DS and is a nice way to ease newcomers into the genre. Since their beginnings as simple, addictive flash games, the trials bike genre has always been one to draw my attention for its deceptively simple gameplay mechanics and easy pick-up-and-play style. Urban Trials Freestyle is no different and mostly follows what we are already familiar with, without treading too far off the beaten path. With a focus on completing stages quickly and precisely, it’s easy to see that the pace of the genre has drastically changed from its origins, where the aim was to simply navigate awkward terrain ridden with obstacles – and this may be for the best."
