Trials 2 now on Steam News

PC News by Rob Fahey

29 May, 2008

Eurogamer's cult game of the moment, RedLynx Trials 2: Second Edition, is now available on Steam - where it'll set you back a princely $9.99 for over 51 tracks of pure arcade game brilliance.

In fact, scratch that - there's a special offer on between now and June 4th, which means that it only costs $8.99 until then. We've paid significantly more than that for a cup of weak coffee and a slightly stale sandwich, so getting hours of incredibly addictive gaming for that price is simply ridiculous.

RedLynx Trials 2: Second Edition is a superbly delivered modern update on the Kikstart / Stunt Biker idea, taking the 2D side-scrolling motorbike obstacle course and adding a healthy dose of modern physics to the affair. Kieron loved it to bits, awarding it a more than healthy 8/10 in his review last month.

More details on the Steam store page.

(We can say with some authority that this really is Eurogamer's cult game of the moment, based on the fact that Tom took a moment out of his undoubtedly hectic schedule of swanning about the place lording it over everyone to send us an email from his BlackBerry informing us of this news story and saying "Woo!".)

It is a great game - I just wish there were a few more levels I could actually complete! ;)

I played the demo over and over, £4.50 sounds like too good a bargain to miss out on. Better than the £2.50 I spent on Bullet Candy, that sucked.

"I like steam, buying games at dollar prices with my paypal account means it's much cheaper than buying in stores over here."

Except European prices are usually inflated anyway. Compare Iron Man EU with Iron Man US.

Not really, the developers/publishers set the price, not Valve so it varies; a few games on Steam follow that model but most do not.

played this on a friends' pc and loved it to tiny little bits. Gutted that my old laptop can't run it though! Given the simplicity of the gameplay, why on earth didn't they allow the graphics to be more scalable?! Why, for the love of god, WHY???

yeah kinda, in that it's a 2d trial bike game. it's basically a 3d version of that "trials" flash game that kicked about a year or 2 ago. dunno if it's the same company but it's VERY similar.
