Climbing the ramp of difficulty is fun until that ramp becomes a wall.
There’s a delicate balance in game design between challenge and fun. Trials Evolution nails this fragile give-and-take so well right from the beginning that it is a huge disappointment when it all tumbles muffler over helmet into a frustrating set of boring races. Be not deterred, though, because the ride up to that turning point along with gratifying online racing and cool user-created content make Trials Evolution a fantastic game.
