Hi there!

Why do I hear that funny “Monday, monday……” and all friends of mine, who also bought the game don’t hear that yell?

I thinks its funny to claim that they are ripping off Top Gear by having a motorcycle rider who needs to wear a helmet supposedly be a copy of a guy driving a car who doesn’t.

they definately need to release the level editor for this game, while its great as is, even a casual gamer can get to the end( (or at least the hard levels) really fast. A level editor could keep this game alive and increase the buzz.

I see a lot of people asking for help with “The Shortcut” – Hard 4. What I learned is if you do as fluffy bunny says and go back and try to do better on the easier tracks you eventually get good enough to beat the harder tracks. I just finished Inferno recently and have been playing since Trials 2 came out.

“Yeah DaFox, you’re on to something there about people quitting. I am still tryin really hard at 2 of the last Medium tracks.”

A good idea then is to go back to an easy track to set a new record. You’re no doubt better now than you were last time you played it, so with a couple of tries you should be able to improve your score. This way you’ll get some well deserved satisfaction after the frustration of failing on the more difficult tracks.

Yeah DaFox, you’re on to something there about people quitting. I am still tryin really hard at 2 of the last Medium tracks. I am highly frustrated at times but i know that i can just turn the game off and head back to my main game and then come back when i want more humiliation. I do have to say it’s entirely worth the 9 bucks i paid for it. Physics are right on and the graphics are pretty sweet and there is no story to mess up. Looking forward to the future Red Lynx. I do have a question though, what is the announcer saying at the begining of the game at the load up. I hear the “MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY” and i can’t make out any of the next line. Some one throw me a bone here?

I think it’s very refreshing to have a game that you’re not _expected_ to complete. And while the “lack” of content for players with a low skill level was an actual problem with the vanilla version, the updated one has plenty of tracks for newbies.

I think the problem people might have is that when they complete a track, they move on to the next one without ever going back. That’s not the way to do well in Trials 2. Instead you should go back to tracks you’ve already completed and try to perfect them – first of all you should try and complete them with no mistakes, and then you should try and shave every little tenth of a second that you can off your final time, so that you get more points. Perfection is the keyword here.

Well, as I’m currently the highest ranked member of the RPS team, I guess now would be a good time to actually comment..

@DaFox: I don’t quite understand your position. The game isn’t a linear progression where you expect to get to the end and beat the big boss. So what if there are a few levels you can’t finish? It’s not like there aren’t a load of easier ones for you to master. Personally the fact that there are challenges that I haven’t beaten (and will probably never beat when it comes to doing the hard tracks without falling) is what keeps me playing.

They certainly dodged that map editor question well.

The last few hard levels get insanely hard, Only 200 people have completed the last level, and only 5 have completed it without failing. I think that its quite unfair to the player, I know 5 friends that have bought this game, All of them have got fed up with the later hard levels and quit.
