With a competitive Freestyle mode, Urban Trial Playground would likely have earned itself a spot in the roster of local multi games I play with my roommates. I would have loved to compete with them for high scores in UTP’s impeccably designed courses. Unfortunately, UTP’s multiplayer only offers the lesser of its two modes, which means I’ve had all the enjoyment there is to have with it. I’ll think fondly of it, but like those ’90s Capri Sun commercials, its days are past.
An impressively enjoyable take on the Trials formula that'll appeal to those who find Trials too frustrating. However, if you take your dirt bike tricks seriously then you should stick to the classics.

As a big fan of trials series, my first impression of this game is not bad. I am enjoying it. Pricewise it feels a bit pricey, but overall decent game.

Urban Trial Playground is a simple, yet enjoyable stunt show through various parts of California. The levels are well made and the scenery looks amazing. There's a good variety of levels, but they don't take that long to complete.
While it’s nowhere near the level of quality of Trials Fusion, it still provided some genuinely fun moments.
Urban Trial Playground may be not as deep or demanding as its model, but it offers enough challenges to have a good time playing it, as long as you can pass on its poor visuals and level-design.
I couldn’t help but feel that Urban Trial Playground is a blatant quick cash grab to release on Nintendo Switch when there isn’t any competition in the genre.
An average arcade game for relaxing after a long day that will entertain you for a while but in a few days, you will forget about it. The core of the game is fun, but after playing for a while you are facing stereotype and boredom.
I giochi come Urban Trial Playground non sono ne comuni e nemmeno popolari, ma ogni volta che ne ho uno tra le mani, finisco per passarci le notti intere, fino a che non l'ho completato al 100%. Per me sono sorprendentemente divertenti e tutto il resto passa in secondo piano, o quasi. Urban Trial Playground è il terzo capitolo della serie Urban Trial di Tate Multimedia. Per chi non lo sapesse, questo tipo di gioco si svolge su una bici e bisogna arrivare al termine del livello, portando a termine diversi obiettivi, in un ambiente 3D, ma in cui l'azione è puramente 2D.
Urban Trial Playground aggiunge alla formula nuove meccaniche, consentendo alla bici di frenare, con i freni anteriori o posteriori, e di saltare. Buttarsi a tutta velocità giù per una discesa e poi saltare il burrone in punta al trampolino è davvero un'esperienza eccezionale, soprattutto se poi l'atterraggio viene fatto su una sola ruota (con quella davanti si ottengono più punti!).
Detto questo, Urban Trial Playground è probabilmente il Trials-like più casual a cui abbia mai giocato, il che non è necessariamente un punto negativo. Il suo livello di difficoltà, seppur intenso, non è mai frustrante. I principianti si divertiranno sicuramente un sacco, mentre i più esperti desidereranno un livello di sfida maggiore, che purtroppo è totalmente assente. Parlando del gioco in se, dobbiamo dire che sono presenti 26 ambientazioni diverse e 54 missioni single player. Ogni ambiente è ben caratterizzato e ci ritroveremo a pedalare in aree suburbane, spiagge, ponti, ville, centri commerciali e persino aeroporti. Le missioni si suddividono tra punteggi migliori e sfide contro il tempo. Per ottenere i punteggi più alti, bisognerà mettere in fila, una dietro l'altro, una combo differente. Per quanto riguarda le sfide contro il tempo, invece, l'unica cosa di cui ci si deve preoccupare, è arrivare al traguardo nel più breve tempo possibile, senza fare troppi trick.
Nei livelli è anche possibile collezionare delle chip da casinò, il cui numero totale è indicato nel riepilogo del livello. Oltre alla modalità single player, è anche possibile giocare contro un amico, in locale, mentre è assente una modalità online, a parte le classifiche dei vari stage. Se ci fossero state altre modalità di gioco, probabilmente starei ancora giocando, ma dopo averlo portato a termine al 100%, il fattore rigiocabilità va scemando, a meno che, non vogliate essere primi online in tutte e 54 le missioni.

With solid mechanics and barely adequate technical aspects, Urban Trials Underground offers an alternative to the world of motorcycle stunt games.
Being released on the Nintendo Switch long before its more famous competitors brought it recognition and some sales. Unfortunately, it also feels like a package that is somewhat short on content and the obligation to play the speed and trick tracks alternately will not appeal to all audiences.

Another decent Trials clone. Far less polished than the Xbox / PS4 Trials series but still fun for a short period of time. Not only because it becomes repetitive quite quickly but also because it takes just 2-3 hours to complete the game. I only played it in handheld mode and the graphics are pretty blurry, not very nice to look at. 20€/$ are a bit much for this game but if you are into this kind of games (Trials, Joe Danger etc.) you can definitely have some fun during a long train ride or while watching TV. Just don't expect too much or wait for a sale.

Thought i'd snap this up and risk taking one for the team. It's pretty damn poor people... Not unplayable bad, but it's bad, although my 5 year old will get an hour or so out of it.
The GRFX are blurry as a vasolined mirror and the skill ceiling is at ground level. The frame rate on some levels is also well below 30.
The ghost you will race to beat your best time unfortunately only races your last attempt. This resulted in me numerous time beating the ghost but not beating my quickest time. It's a massive oversight in a game like this.
There are 25 generic levels that get rotated twice for both a time attack and trick attack mode. I can't emphasise the word generic any higher here..
The only saving grace is my child may find it mildly entertaining. Steer clear of this until it's on sale in a few months.
I paid $30AUD

The controls are horrible. Never before have I played a game with such bad controls. The motorcycle is completely unresponsive and pulling off wheelies are almost impossible because of the crap controls.

Summary UTP is stunt bike racing game set in sunny and colorful beaches of California. Mix tricks, flips and combos more than ever before. Compete on more than 50 levels, in various modes.
