So has anyone tried this out? On a friend's recommendation, and a quick playthrough with the demo, I bought it. For the first hour or so, I had a couple friends over, taking turns to play. During this period, I can't remember a single game that was as fun and exciting as this one for a very long time. Trials is absolutely perfect for a party of friends if you want to laugh and get invested into what's on screen. Level design is unique and clever for what is essentially a glorified 3D side-scroller.
HOWEVER....once you get to Hard mode...this game
whoops your ass. Very quickly, it went from fun to frustrating. The levels are done in a way which is beyond annoying, and after so many repetitions, everyone loses interest and becomes irritated or bored.
I have very mixed reactions to this game. On one hand, this was one of the most exciting playtimes I've had, yet simultaneously the most frustrating. I'll give it another go, but I'll wait a few days for my head to clear. To be honest, my blood was boiling after going through a few of those levels.
