Like Ellen Ripley before him, Dead Space's Isaac Clark had to endure two full games of solitary terror in order to arrive at where he is today. If pop culture has taught us anything, it's that space can be a pretty lonely place.

Read the full Urban Trial Freestyle Review: Where Flash Trumps Substance It's easy to blow several minutes trying to top yourself on a stunt, which is a calculated risk as returning to the most recent checkpoint means forsaking the score you've already set. The sooner your make it to the finish the more bonus points you'll receive, but the allure of returning to a checkpoint and retrying a stunt can be hard to resist when each one has an accompanying leaderboard and an in-level indication of its top player. You're never required to exceed a certain benchmark you simply do the best you can on each stunt as you make your way to the finish, which has to be reached in less than five minutes. Not every event is a race to the finish, as in Trials those do exist, but you'll also spend time on each level completing objectives located at specific points like high jumps, long jumps, speed checks. You race trials bikes through 2.5D environments while shifting your weight forward and backward and exercising control with the throttle in an effort to avoid falling off. Just like Trials, Freestyle is a game all about balance. Beyond those basics Freestyle does make some effort at distinguishing itself, although it fails to do so in any way that truly makes it superior. Regardless, being based on the same sport or activity means sharing a lot in common. Part of that might be due to ignorance over the fact that motorcycle trials are a real thing, albeit something that isn't especially popular in the U.S. The former, being a brand new game coming after several Trials titles, including two extremely successful XBLA games, is invariably going to attract cries of copycat. Though some of the RPGs below follow the same line of thought, others offer a different take on Live A Live's defining qualities.There is no getting around the similarities between Urban Trial Freestyle and the Trials series. Each of the eight playable characters boasts a set of unique gameplay features that keep the plot from dwindling while prompting players to actively engage with the title, whether they like the idea or not. Instead of recounting a lengthy storyline that takes players on a journey across a singular setting, they get to partake in short, fragmented tales spanning millennia. The unusual game design makes Live A Live a very compelling entry in the role-playing genre. Now that the Nintendo Switch owners finally have the chance to experience the game's enhanced offerings firsthand, they might be on the lookout for similar RPGs to play after completing Live A Live. In a way, the title was ahead of its time, and it took nearly three decades to bring it over to occidental nations. When Live A Live graced the shelves of Japanese retailers in 1994, nothing could prepare Square for its looming fiasco.
