Haha...that would be fun.

The biggest Finnish gaming magazine "Pelit" reviewed Trials 2 Second Edition and it got a nice 90/100 rating!

Also we got a official metascore to the game (http://www.metacritic.com). Currently the rating is 83, but the Pelit magazine review should rise it a bit.

If you have noticed reviews in other gaming magazines, please post the score and a quote to this thread. Thank you!

Best $20 You Can Spend
Trials 2: Second Edition may look simple, but it demands pure hardcore skill, and is decisively aimed at real "oldschool" gamers. Who cares if the concept is simple and "casual", when it takes hours of practice and dedication to properly master. In fact, at times the game feels insanely difficult and some tracks are outright impossible to complete until you fully understand how the bike needs to be balanced and how to pull off jumps with extra height. But in my books this is a good thing - once you do manage to pull it all off perfectly, it's all the more satisfying and a whole new game is unveiled as you repeatedly try to climb higher and higher on the online scoreboard. In the quest for the top spot, only one thing really matters: Pure skill.

IN CLOSING
Trials 2 Second Edition is a polished, well-executed game that could benefit from a couple of enhanced or additional features. The controls are simple, the puzzles are numerous, the graphics are generally spectacular, and the online scorekeeping features are robust. Trials 2 Second Edition plays like a more deliberate version of Trackmania: a much slower pace but a higher level of precision. This makes Trials 2 Second Edition pretty darn difficult, and I think the learning curve new players will have to encounter will turn a lot of them away. Practice makes perfect, but Trials 2 Second Edition should come with more introductory levels to make the game appeal to a larger audience. Add a track editor and I?d bump the score up a point. Add more levels easier than ?easy? and I?d bump it up another. So, really, Trials 2 Second Edition is two features away from being, well, perfect. The game is best in small doses, and if you like the genre then you will have a good time improving your times and coming up with new strategies.

So basically, with a more tutorial tracks and level editor, the score would be a perfect 8/8. Maybe we should add more tutorials also...

When something tears you away from both Grand Theft Auto IV and Boom Blox and seats you firmly in front of your PC, you know you're playing something special.

I'm hoping Sony or Microsoft picks this up for their respective online stores. It deserves any audience it can get.
