Plus, once production has wrapped on each film, it’s pretty cool seeing your work featured in full-blown movie trailers. It’s an absolutely thrilling time if you’re a patient person who doesn’t mind replaying a stage over-and-over to execute a flawless run – if you’re well-versed in Trials that shouldn’t be an issue. Each stage is set up like a scene, and you’ll have to perform specific maneuvers and commands at indicated places in the environment. Instead of being a conventional driving game, Stuntman plants you behind the wheel of a diverse lineup of vehicles on the set of various action movies. The gameplay is very trial-and-error, with one little mistake often forcing you to restart an entire shot – yes, shot. Let us be clear: Stuntman: Ignition won’t be for everyone. Be sure to bring a case of energy drinks along for the ride, or you may not possess the mental alertness required to navigate the perilous landscape. Developed by the now defunct Black Rock Studios, the people behind Pure (see above), it’s no surprise that this game is as intense as it is. Towering skyscrapers topple onto the course, airplanes barrel from the sky, and bridges collapse as if they were made of glass leaving you with a split second to react and avert disaster. However, what makes this rampage racer unique is its appetite for utter destruction and chaos. Split/Second (Xbox 360)Īt first glance Split/Second may appear to be little more than a Burnout clone - because on one hand that’s what it is. Just brace your veins for a mass surge of extreme. If soaring through the air above breathtaking vistas sounds like your thing – at speeds that could melt the skin from your face, no less – then you should check out either one of these games. Pure is undoubtedly the more refined experience, while Nail’d is higher energy with more content – though it suffers from sketchy collision detection. Labeling these as ATV rollercoaster rides would be the most accurate way for us to convey the type of action you'll find here. The reason we’ve lumped them together, though, is that they’re a heck of a lot alike, and both make for an explosive burst of fun. Pure and Nail’d weren't developed by the same team, nor are they even from the same series. It’s colorful, cartoony fun, and probably the most inviting game featured on this list – but it should be said that it’s going to take mad skills if you have your sights on all the pro medals. This is a charming side-scroller that will have you platforming, performing tricks, and clearing various objectives all while barreling toward the finish line. What do you get when you mix elements of Excitebike, Trials, and a dash of Stuntman? Joe Danger. And that's why we've included Ultimate Carnage on this list. You can participate in events like basketball and darts, though instead of possessing actual basketballs or darts, you’ll launch the driver from the vehicle and at the goal. Ragdoll physics are almost always funny, but in the FlatOut series they’re a laugh riot. This arcade racer doesn’t shake things up all that much when it comes to the race and derby modes, but when you get into the challenge arena, that’s when equal portions of ridiculousness and hilarity ensue. When a game doesn’t care how ridiculous it is as long as it exudes mass doses of fun, that’s when you get a gem like FlatOut. So with that said, we came up with 10-ish games that should satiate your need for sweat-inducing, controller-clenching action while you brave the longest short wait of your life. When we eventually did stop playing Trials Evolution, it wasn’t due to lack of content instead it was a decision made in an effort to better focus on the latest and greatest games – we do have a website to run, here.īut with the third installment in the series, Trials Fusion, only a couple weeks away from dropping onto the Xbox One and Xbox 360, the urge for more ramp-riding, bone-crunching fun is creeping over us with resilient determination.and we know we aren't the only ones feeling the itch. With a diehard community of users creating tracks that rival the impeccable quality of those made by the developer, RedLynx, there was almost always something new to experience with every play session. Reset after reset, while learning the art of transforming trip-up into triumph, we found it nearly impossible to resist the voice in the back of our heads constantly screaming “one more game" - especially when there was so much to do. While Trials HD may have taught us about persistence and anguish – in the most feel-good, rewarding way possible – it was the sequel, Trials Evolution, that turned us into hardcore adrenaline junkies.
