Watching daredevil motocross drivers on big bikes hurl themselves up big ramps, and twist their bodies around in impossible postures while flying through the air can be quite exhilarating. Doing it yourself is much less appealing to most of us. Doing it on a console from the comfort (not to mention relative safety) of your favourite gaming chair is a much more attractive proposition… unless that proposition comes from Red Bull X-Fighters.
PlayDevil has posted a review of the Xbox Live Arcade game "Red Bull X-Fighters".
Is this as good as the popular 'Trials HD'?
Thomas Leclerc of Brash Games writes "With a title like this, I was expecting a few more lasers, rockets and pew-pew noises. I knew that there is an extreme sport called X-Fighter, but I had never seen it before. Call me naïve, but I was expecting a version of R-Type or Space Invaders with Red Bull branding".
"Red Bull X-Fighters is about riding a motorcycle across tracks, performing tricks, and gaining points and unlocking new stuff. Honestly, it sounds great. Motorcycles are fun, right? And stunts on motorcycles are even more fun. So the game should be good too, right? Well, it isn’t."
