Awesome, been waiting for this one

Its a shame arcade games never seem to come out at midnight pacific time anymore, I miss the chance to give them a quick play before I have to go through the daily slog of work

took my money, won’t let me play full game

Love this game! buying!

this game seems amazing… Chances are likely i’ll purchase this one !

If this was 800 point it would sell better

Great Game.

“If this was 800 point it would sell better”

If anything was cheaper than its actual price it would sell better.

Fantastic game, well worth the money.

Shame there is no multiplayer in this but it doesn’t take away the fact that it ROCKS!!!
Would have like a central hub for sharing levels too but it looks like you can only share with your friends list

This game is Awesome, this game is the best game on XBLA hands down!

cancel that

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!

rip off

Will get the trial tonight. Game looks interesting, reminds me of the highly under rated Uniracers for the SNES which had phenomenal gameplay but was hurt by it’s own silly flavor.
Major, nice Big Daddy Jedi. Avatar Marketplace is cool, but some of the prices are crazy. Figures the one thing that would likely be most popular, the Lightsaber, is way too overpriced…

will try the demo but saving my points for shadow complex.

Same as @Sneeches, trying the demo and will put on my “must have eventually” if it’s good enough

Since it’s more than 800 points, I’m not even going to download the trial. I refuse to spend more than $10 on anything I can’t resell because of DRM restrictions.

The game sounds fun and will definately give the demo a try before paying full price. I love that all of the arcade games have demos. Even if I don’t buy the full game, a lot of them give you a good amount of time and fun just in the demo.

Price seems ok. I guess if I saw this game brand new sitting on a shelf for $15, I would give it a look. No use worrying about resell. Unless you turn around and resell the game within the first two weeks, you almost don’t get enough back in the resell to make it worth it unless you go ebay or something like that.

Hell yeah the day has finally come I’ve been waiting for this for a long while…. Its gonna be a great game. Fun mindless entertainment

1200? Ouch. 800 and maybe I’d get it. Dang it the games I want most still aren’t here. Shadow Complex and Perfect Dark. Sigh. Those will probably be ultra rip offs but I’ll still pay anything to the MS gods. I say they will be like 1600 or more.

Great game I only got the trial for now but ill be buying a week friday 100%

The game is definitely worth the 1200 points, but yeah, with everything else coming soon and things like Splosion Man just released, I don’t have the money for this.

man what a sick game !!!!!! fly like an eagle xD

For me its “THE GAME” of this summer… until “Shadow Complex”.
Great fun !!!

MS you have to do something!!!!!!!!!!

This game wasn’t on my radar until it was announced as part of the Summer Arcade, and as it was the only game that I didn’t know: I instantly looked it up. Surprise and awe followed. The game looks good. Now to try it.

I wasnt going to pick this game up but after trying the demo out, WOW! What a fun game. 1200 points is a little steep, but its still worth it, my only complaint is that you can only share tracks with your friends.

pretty fun game, but since I’m saving my points for Shadow Complex probably won’t be getting this one for awhile

Forget being the best Live arcade game , this is one of the best titles on the XBox 360 full stop – puts many boxed retail games to shame . So simple yet so addictive and fun , with perfect controls – so much content here too – Do you know what I mean if I say it reminds me of playing some classic Nintendo games ?? If you own a 360 then you have to have this – 5 stars !!!

wow, this is a great game indeed, but a bit expensive
maybe I’ll buy it anyway

This game steals the idea of that free online flash game and improves the graphics, nothing groundbreaking here :/

Ok, the Demo is HIGHLY Entertaining for Trials HD. I will be adding points and getting the full version tonight. Seems to ramp up difficulty pretty quickly though so I hope it is not so difficult that I get frustrated and quit like I did with Braid.

Fantastic game. Best of the Summer releases by far and that’s coming from a huge Mar. Vs. Cap. 2 fan.

Just to say there’s a free game called xmoto that is opensource, it is very like that, but of course poor graphics, but a lot of more challenging.

Give me a code major, please! This game is awsome!!

Superb game! Like a combination of the classic Elasto Mania (Action supercross) for PC and some crazy ragdoll game (Flatout etc).

I had a blast with the demo, launching the guy and trying to do silly stuff like get him over the tutorial drawbridge I-beam thing so the beam hits him on the head as it comes down. Even found a secret area where a wall comes down and shows a set of screens but theres nothing on them. You can aftertouch the guy, LT for fetal position, RT for spread, left stick to manouver.

The price is a tad over my limit, 800 would have been an instant buy. I’ll have to get it when it comes down to 800 or I get desperate.

If this came out on Wii they’d be putting it on a disc and charing $40 for it. Consider yourself lucky its only $15. Quality game. I would like to see more games charging $15+ dollars and offering this level of quality.

Demo is fun, but due to lack of open content sharing in a public community, I’ll pass until it hits a decent sale price.

Had great fun playing the demo and it’s a really good game but 1200MSP is more than it’s worth to me. I’d definitely get it if it was 800MSP but 1200MSP is sadly a no deal for me. Maybe it’ll be a deal of the week in a year or 2.

I gave Trials HD a TRIAL (lol) but kept falling over. Does the problem lie with the controls or the person holding them?

Trials HD looks fun, but minus the multiplayer. I dunno. I love tricks and aerial moves, but doing it with or to a friend in mid-air is just sweetness. If you like Trials HD, try PURE. ATV more than dirtbike, but awesome thrill ride, crazy tricks and kick’in sound track. Demo available.

Yeah this is the kind of game that really would have been a lot more fun with multiplayer and an OPEN level-sharing community like Lode Runner. So I think I’ll PASS on this one until it goes on sale for 800 (they should have done the same with this as they did with Turtles in Time and dropped it to 800 in the first place!). I’ll be saving my points for Shadow Complex until then.

Amazon is offering this for 800 for some reason. It’s not available yet though. If this is bought at amazon will the $10 for summer deal go through?

@ rogXue: No you can’t use Amazon for the Summer of Arcade 800-point rebate. The rebate rules say the following: “To qualify for your gift, you must purchase all five (5) games from Xbox LIVE Arcade using your Xbox LIVE account, by August 31, 2009 11:59 EST.” http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/events/summerofarcade/
However, I did notice that if you get it through Amazon, there’s a special offer where you get a $5 Amazon MP3 Music Downloads Credit with it too. So with them, you’re getting an EXTRA $5 back for spending a LOT less. Not sure how much longer it’s gonna take them to finally have it available or if the $10 price tag they have currently posted is gonna stay, but if it does, I may just get it through them instead of waiting for Microsoft to discount it to what it should be.

I have to choose between Trials HD and Shadow Complex. Would you guys wait for Shadow Complex?

Great game !!!

Grrr, why the heck does Amazon have it for 10 and Microsoft is selling it for 15. Plus that coupon mp3 means I lost out on 10 bucks of savings. Thats the LAST time i buy a game from microsoft without checking amazon first. Major, i think you should offer 5 dollar refunds to people who got screwed by this deal

Great game this. Reminds me of Kikstart 2 from the Commodore Amiga days.

The demo totally hooked me and I bought it on the spot. It’s like Excitebike on crack. So fun.

I’ve played it for around 3-4 hours. Its fun and addictive! -but to be honest, this is not worth the 1200MSP. 800MSP seems fair. (Don’t get me wrong) its a massive game with 50 unlockable tracks. -plus, around 6-7 bikes to unlock. There are some down falls, tracks can be buggy. “by this I mean”. Some tracks are just insanely hard. This is ether because the developer of the tracks. Haven’t tested them over, to make sure they can be accomplished. Or just plain bad track designing. Not to mention, your player can get stuck on some objects!

3/5 from me

@RedRooster29
Waiting, ready and willing for Shadow Complex. Should you wait? Answer these questions:

1. Do you want to ride, do tricks and stunts by yourself? (Yes or No)
2. Do you want to not play a great 3D-isk game with 2.5D gameplay, with HUGE enemies? (Yes or No)

If you answered 1. as No and 2. as Yes. Wait for Shadow Complex. If you answered any other way, sell some games and buy them both.

This game is awesome. 2nd best XBLA game ever just behind braid . But I finidhed braid in a few days and didnt play it again and I think I’ll be playign this for a while. Some of the hard courses are insane

I have two Words @Majornelson that would make this game Awesome
“Avatar Support”
I so want to drive my Avatar on a dirt bike like this game, joyride doesn’t count thats like a calmed down version of mario cart, I want my Avatar on games like this “Trials HD” no these boring card games that just place your Avatar in the corner.

Someone Go Tell the guys that made “Trials HD” to start woking on Avatar Support, even if its cost a bit for it I’d pay it.

This game is Excite Bike on Steroids! It’s awesome fun! I loved it! Will definitely be making a future purchase.

I didn’t know anything about this game… and when I saw that it was a bike game.. I thought.. “meh”…

but we downloaded the trial anyway.

OH MAN! It was so much fun. My hubby and I kept trading off the contoller like the old school days {since it isn’t Multiplayer }

we had to buy it. Then a bunch of our friends bought it and I will say .. for not being a multiplayer game, the competition between us is fierce! especially with how they integrated your friendlist leaderboard into the gameplay. awesome. just awesome.

This game is great, one of the best XBLA so far. I’ve sent friend request to you guys(who have the game) to compare times and share tracks (in the future, haven’t made any yet)

Just got around to playing this game today and my finger ALMOST slipped over to Buy Game. This game is UTTERLY AWESOME! The ONLY, THE ONLY reason I did not purchase this game is because I love to share. I can forgive the non-multiplayer (dual horizontal screens for online and local play), but if I made a track, I can only share it with my friends. I can’t boast and tell them to buy this game, but I’ll do a shout out. IF Shadow Complex was not coming out next week this would have been and insta-purchase. The pyrotechnics are “Wo!! Did you see and feel that!?”. If I lived at home with my nieces and nephews – I could easily overlook the sharing and multiplayer drawbacks and purchase the game. I dunno, if some how an update is released between this post and the release of Shadow Complex – I’m IN TOTALLY. It’s like the Dirt Bike game in Thrillville: Off the Rails, only Trials HD is 1000 times better.

GREAT GAME. This game exceeded my expectations and came out of nowhere. I have a hard time justifying a 1200 point purchase but this game IMO is what Castle Crushers or Braid did for me last year and is more than worth it. Everything about this game is top notch. Someone said (and only him) that it had some bugs. I have yet to find them. I don’t think there is one flaw in terms of playability at all. Its a blast to play, it has an awesome replay feature, even more amazing bike mechanics/physics then some of the best retail motorcycle/stunt games out. The lack of multi-player is replaced by an awesome track editor with the ability to upload them for your friends. You can also compare your times or score with your friends on the fly. This is a must own for every 360 owner. Period.

Im gonna grab it when i get some more points.

This game is a blast. It does get EXTREMELY hard later on (maybe too hard), but the game is amazingly fun and addictive. Give the demo a try and then get ready to click the buy button.

I have to agree that $15 is a lot for an arcade game, but if all arcade games were this good, I’d never complain about the price tag.

On that note, I am a little worried as I look at my growing list of arcade games (now at 135) what will happen with the next system. I truly hope they migrate the purchased content over to the new system.

Great game.

This is such a good game. I went and bought Trials 2 SE on the PC to complement it also!

Guess this is THE best Arcade game I´ve bought so far. Not many times did I try the demo only to instantly buy the game after 5 mins. No matter the price. This game rocks!

I’ll keep it to this….A wonderful, wonderful game. Hats off to all involved in making this happen. Actually felt like VFM at 1200 points (as did Battlefield to be fair) for once!
