Trial Motorbikes is a high-quality racing game in which a user must beat the competition through a variety of jungle dirt bike races, with the help of some cool tricks and nitro-boosted acceleration.

A Look at Trial Motorbikes

Developed by GameHitZone and compatible with various Microsoft operating systems such as XP, Vista, 7, and even 8, Trial Motorbikes is a 3D game with good graphics and a fun premise. After downloading the free program (which is quite small: 668 KB), a user can enter his or her name, select different racing options, and then hit the ground running in a series of races through the harsh jungle terrain. The objective of the game is to win, or at least to finish in the top-three spots: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. You must win at least a Bronze trophy to move forward in the game.

While racing, Trial Motorbikes brings the excitement by offering much more than a car-based game. On your fast dirt bike, you can jump off of cliffs, over big hills, off of ramps, etc, and perform a slew of aerial stunts. If you’ve crashed your bike or have fallen behind, you also have nitro to give you a huge performance boost. Though users should be aware that nitro runs out fairly quickly and will not replenish by itself in a single race. Hence, choose your spots carefully.

The Features of Trial Motorbikes

One thing you may notice about Trial Motorbikes right away is that it’s rather feature-rich to be a small download game. Although it’s not as graphics-intensive and detailed as games you'll find with PlayStation or Xbox, it is a good-looking game that features different bikes, a bunch of different courses, and some pretty cool scenery out in the jungle.

The drive features are hit or miss, depending on what you like. It has a very arcade-like feel about the driving, and the physics are rather unrealistic. However, it’s only a game and thus those types of grievances are petty.

One of the best features of Trial Motorbikes has to be the nitro boost. Although every racer should have a little bit of strategy to win a race, the fact is that it’s just outright fun to nail your nitro when leading up to a ramp or some other big jump. You catch huge air and get to perform different flips and tricks like you see the X Games riders perform. And if you are able to nail these tricks, you will get more nitro.

You'll probably need at least a dedicated GPU to enjoy the graphics fully. An onboard processor might not offer you quite as much, plus the game might present some artifacts.
