Trials Evolution
coming from a retro gamer aswel. nothing compares to this when it comes to fun and due to the fact trials franchise has been out for years it passes the test of time along with mario kart, tetris ect.
its one of the few modern games in which the players skill increases and not the game characters.
its not just a 2d skill games either. in the editor you can create top down shooters, fps's, 3rd person mech shooters, side scrolling shmups and anything else you can think of realy. not only that you can upload them for the world to play. every single day theres loads, maybe hundreds of new tracks and games to download... FREE.
all that said its more than a game its part of a larger puzzle....
in the previous game was a hidden message that took the community years to figure out and theyve hidden a similar one in evolution that hasnt been decoded yet
