![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Learning to navigate through mud, water and gravel, or over stacks of tyres or pipes is tough, but rewarding. The thing is, when it all comes together the feeling of overcoming a tricky section or climb is immensely satisfying, accompanied by a huge sigh of relief. This can be repaired with earned currency (or repair kits before races for an instant fix) but often it’s all too easy to do more damage than currency we’ve earned, leaving us perpetually on the back foot. Damage is also accrued to our vehicles as we traverse each track take too much on and we need to forfeit the event, costing us valuable points. Respawns are fairly quick – though not instantaneous as in other titles – but when they need to be used multiple times in a row the time soon adds up. While the physics are generally spot on, occasionally our buggy will flip over for seemingly no reason while at other times we can brute force our way through with little problem. Entering into a steep hill climb with a good run up might see us just fault at the top – the respawn places us much closer to the hill, negating any speed advantage we had and making things ten times harder. You’ll need to heed the lessons well, as once into the thick of the career you’ll struggle to proceed otherwise.Īt times, Overpass can be supremely frustrating. We learn to enter steep inclines at angles, not to put too much pressure on the gas and more over 30 minutes or so before being let loose in an open environment to test out what we’ve learnt. Learning the ropes of Overpass is essential, as barrelling in to obstacles full pelt will do you no good. You know you’re in for a tough time when even the tutorial poses a challenge. ![]() It doesn’t quite have the same charm as Trials mind, which can make the grind a little less bearable. Zordix Games certainly nailed the challenge aspect – this is not for those who are after an easy time – and the feeling of accomplishment when besting a section of the track. Having been a fan of the Trials series since it’s HD debut on 360, I was eager to try Overpass out when it referenced it having a similar style, but in a 3D plane. ![]()
