Just Press Play Review: Trials 2 Second Edition

JPP writes: "The gameplay in Trials 2 is focused solely on getting from point A to point B. Along the way, there are a few checkpoints. These are represented by flags on both sides of the track. Getting from point A to point B isn’t easy, though–as we’ll soon find out. The game is 2.5 dimensional–that is, it has 3D graphics, but it is played on a 2-dimensional plane. Basically, it is only possible to move left, right, up or down. That’s very preferable–I’d hate to play in a fully 3D game. Another thing I feel that I should mention is that it’s hard. Very, very hard. Players will die countless times–watching the hilarious ragdoll for a bit then continue to play. If not for the checkpoints, this game would be quite impossible. Countless times I’ve died right after or before reaching that lone checkpoint in a shout of triumph or utter despair. So while the game is fun, it’s also difficult. It’s like the developers were trying to make us die as much as possible."
