Red Bull X-Fighters 2010 Edition – review

Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra, Evel Knievel, superman, double backflip, longest jump in a car. This game defies gravity to outdo the last game involving motorcycle stunts.

Story: there isn’t one.
Gameplay: The game is a side-scrolling motorcycle game. The game plays alot like Trials HD you are given a few goals and one course to start out with. The point of the game is to pull off stunts and win over the fans. You can mess up your whole run and still get fans. As you pull off tricks, you score points, the more points the higher medal you win. More medals, more tracks and locations.  The touch screen on your phone/mp3 is how you perform the tricks, pressing the screen in the direction shown on screen/trick list.  You also have to control the angle of the bike, if your landing is coming in too shallow, it will crash.   Your control choices are Arrows on-screen or tilting the device forward or back.

Sound/Graphics: The graphics of the game could be described as Trials HD without the man made obstacles.  It has the look of a real race/freestyle course. They seem to be fluid without any problems.  The sound is okay, it seems to be a little choppy in places. You hear stuff such as crowd noise, the whir of the engine, and a guitar sometimes.

Multiplayer:  There is none

Overall: its a good game. if you loved Trials HD for the consoles, this game should be bought.

Pros:

• not very expensive
• fun
• easy controls

Cons:

• hard to balance just right
• choppy sounds
• no multiplayer
