Trials Bike Pro represents a step forward in the accessibility of the acrobatic motorcycle games in the Trials franchise. Designed for those seeking a simpler experience while retaining the DNA of Trials games, this title stands out for its immediate pick-up-and-play feel and short but effective tracks.
The main goal of Trials Bike Pro is to allow players to explore more accessible courses while maintaining core elements of the series. Unlike Trials Bike Basic, which focuses on very simplified mechanics, Trials Bike Pro offers slightly more developed gameplay, yet remains approachable. The levels are more varied and include challenges that require a bit more motorcycle mastery. This creates a more rewarding challenge for players who want a bit more than just exploring easy tracks.
While Trials Bike Basic features very simple courses, Trials Bike Pro introduces more dynamic obstacles and gameplay situations requiring finer control of the bike. Players still need to learn to control jumps, adjust balances, and optimize their speed, but everything remains accessible and intuitive. However, the game keeps a light tone, with competition centered on improving personal records rather than complex online leaderboards.
Where Trials Bike Pro differs from Trials Bike Basic is in its inclusion of slightly longer and more varied tracks. It also includes a light ranking system, allowing players to see where they stand compared to others. It’s not a multiplayer competitive game, but it offers a more engaging competitive structure than Trials Bike Basic.
Both games share the same philosophy of simplicity, but Trials Bike Pro takes a slightly more mature tone, with more pronounced progression and more challenging obstacles. It aims to be an intermediate step between the simplicity of Trials Bike Basic and the more complex titles in the series, such as Trials Fusion or Trials Evolution.
