gigatrack FTW!

I have my points ready to be spent... Was expecting it to be available to download this morn. No sign of it yet... Been looking forward to this for ages.

If anyone fancies a leaderboard battle my GT is unklerosco

brianon

Bah. Still not released. Looking forward to this. Must pop into town and get some MS points before the missus wakes up

unklerosco

AFAIK it should be released between 10am-12 noon today...

evad_lhorg

boourns. its not up yet!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah
refreshing the page every few minutes, what time do these games normally get unlocked

evad_lhorg

I thought they were normally up by now. :mad: Im going into town now. was hoping it would be ready when I got home

evad_lhorg

OH it is up! not in "new releases" though. go into game marketplace- downloadable games - arcade - new releases. Its there. jackpot

brianon

AND.... there it is

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

god damn ****ty internet
1.23gb download is going to take an hour and a half

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

well played 40 odd minutes of it
so far not loving it as much as trials hd. it's a good game, I can imagine it being fun with the multiplayer but I dont know if the game itself has the staying power of HD.

Looks pretty nice, might wait for a sale though, still playing the first one!
Also, Gamestop are advertising it!
Seems ironic for a bricks and mortar store giving space, online at least, to a game to whom XBL get the money directly.
Only reason GS can make a few bob is if kids buy the points directly from the GS shops, and that can't be that likely.
Seems a bit like turkeys voting for Christmas!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

i know people who buy the points from gamestop, dont trust using credit carts online

parents especially might not want their cc details stored on a console or might not trust their children when they tell them the details aren't stored

unklerosco

Ahhhhh... This brings back memories of the hours I wasted trying to get gold. Great game.. Some great new maps on it. Haven't tried the skill games yet, had to stop to go n get some work done (booooooo)

maybe you are a bit over hyped up for it? Im sure with the addition of track central, as more and more tracks come online, its going to have long term appeal!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah, maybe

the bike physics are fiddlier, i used to be able to bounce the bike back into a stable position to recover from an almost crash but the slightest touch now is insta crash

ill still play this, but imo it's not a patch on the original. if not for multiplayer I doubt I'd even give it a look after this week and i've done all the tracks.

creativedrinker

I think it's far better than the original, great game!

klose

Really fun, preferred the indoor warehouse in the original but still cant complain. MP is great fun too really intense and the customisation is brilliant, a steal for 1200 ms points..

corcaigh07

seems to be a bit trickier to recover from a near crash alright, hopefully the more powerful bikes will feel a little better, found it a bit tricky to do flips on the 150cc, cant wait to play this some more though!

Ps-the rider gets abused far more excessively in this one, bloody hilarious sometimes!

Mr E

Enjoying this a lot, but it's gradually going the way of the first one (lots of swearing and silver/bronze medals!). Great game though.

Thats very much a good thing! Id say my housemate is already annoyed by the bike revving, explosions, my swearing and the random outbursts of laughing!

Anyone else having online issues at the moment? Was grand earlier but it can't get stats, so can't go online or post times etc. Xbox live seems to be fine

i have had similar problems, sometimes doesnt post times to LIVE straight away after a stage, bit annoying

Furp

Only had a few minutes to play last night but was impressed, had been waiting for this for a long time, looking forward to getting into the harder sorry impossible levels.

I was also having lots of issues with posting times to the leaderboard.

unklerosco

Gotten most the bulk of the tracks completed now... Some are mental, Gigatrack is insane! If anything I found it to be a bit easier than Trials HD, I've Gold on near enough every track i've played.. Got most of them on my first try, and I know I can go faster.. Doesn't seem to be any sign of platinum medals?

Haven't had a chance to go online yet... Will check it out today..

Mr E

Platinum Medals

are unlocked after you finish the main game
