Pocket Gamer:
The European PSP Minis range has got another addition in the form of Red Bull X-Fighters.
Based on the popular and prestigious freestyle motocross competitions, where the world's best FMX riders are invited to compete - usually in bullfighting arenas - the game has previously landed on iPhone.
Other than the lack of accelerometer control, there's little to suggest the PSP version will be different in structure and content. You get to execute trick combos while in the air, hoping to land tyres first when you come down.
PlayDevil has posted a review of the Xbox Live Arcade game "Red Bull X-Fighters".
Is this as good as the popular 'Trials HD'?
Thomas Leclerc of Brash Games writes "With a title like this, I was expecting a few more lasers, rockets and pew-pew noises. I knew that there is an extreme sport called X-Fighter, but I had never seen it before. Call me naïve, but I was expecting a version of R-Type or Space Invaders with Red Bull branding".
Watching daredevil motocross drivers on big bikes hurl themselves up big ramps, and twist their bodies around in impossible postures while flying through the air can be quite exhilarating. Doing it yourself is much less appealing to most of us. Doing it on a console from the comfort (not to mention relative safety) of your favourite gaming chair is a much more attractive proposition… unless that proposition comes from Red Bull X-Fighters.
