Fans of the Trials games on Xbox 360 and other consoles will thoroughly enjoy Tate Interactive's Urban Trial Freestyle, which debuted on the App Store last week. Like Trials, the goal of the game is to get your motorcycle rider from point A to point B while crashing as little as possible. That's easier said than done, mainly due to the elaborately designed levels, as well as the stunt challenges scattered throughout each course.
Don't worry. It'll be smooth sailing over the finish line with these tips!
You'll get the hang of this over the first few levels, as you can overcome steep hills with a combination of leaning and consistent acceleration. In addition, you'll also want to get used to certain obstacles, including a huge rolling boulder that can crush you flat, and a car rolling down a hill that you'll want to avoid, even if it means waiting a few seconds to get past it.
Flipping can take some practice, as it's real easy to crash coming down. Fortunately, you'll either be able to start over at the last checkpoint you came across (there are about four to five per stage), or if you prefer to finish the race with the most points, start over entirely. There's no penalty for this, and in some cases, practice makes perfect.
What you do want to do, however, is work on unlocking new bikes and parts. The bikes come with each new set of levels that you unlock, specifically by completing stunts in each quadrant.
As for parts, you won't need to worry about these too much, but if you get a chance to invest in a new accelerator, go for it. This'll speed up your bike, allowing you to get a speed burst towards the finish line. New motorbikes come with these automatically, so wait to unlock them first before spending cash.
Trying to collect them all is a big deal, mainly because that cash can help you buy premium parts much quicker. If you somehow miss one on your initial run, not to worry - you can always go back and try again.
