![]() These can all be obtained within the ‘Instant Action’ mode.Ĭonstructor HD is another new release, and this trial is more of a demo – it allows you to play the main game for thirty minutes once the time limit is up, your main base explodes and it’s time to start again. ![]() The rest are for shooting a helicopter at close range, destroying five helicopters, and killing 100 ground troops. This scrappy but satisfying helicopter sim has some weighty achievements to unlock – a potential 445G, although you’ll need a co-op buddy for one, and maybe a boosting partner for ‘Multiplayer Ace’ which entails shooting down 10 helicopters in deathmatch or team deathmatch. We’ll start with one of the newest Xbox One games – Air Missions: HIND. You may want to consider skipping cut-scenes too, in order to squeeze out a few extra minutes of play. With this time limit in mind, it’s a good idea to check achievement lists on TrueAchievements or Xbox Achievements prior to playing. Most of the trials detailed below offer an hour of play before prompting you to head to the Xbox One store to purchase the full game. Gamerscore for gratis – who could possibly resist? There is promise and I hope they'll add to it and improve upon it at some point, but as it stands it's probably a 5/10 game.Because the natural passage of time has occurred, we’re taking another look at Xbox One game trials with achievements. Overall, I'm disappointed, I would have thought that they'd build on what was done within the app (more cars, weapon customisation options, clubs, leaderboards etc) and transfer this over as a bigger and better game but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case. There is a local four player skirmish mode that you can play locally with friends or AI (I've had more fun with this today when chasing a few achievements) whereby you can turn on/off weapons and hidden within here there is a four player free-for-all battle mode! I have no idea why they haven't included this game mode in the main component of the game. Speaking of AI, at times it feels like it's too clever and without warning you'll have four enemy AI chasing you firing everything they have, whereas at other times it feels like it's too stupid and your own team-mate will push you off the map when you have the enemy flag - but maybe that's just added realism. With regards to matchmaking, currently it takes around 30 seconds to find a match (good), but it seems like it tends to match you with one other person and then backfill everyone else as AI (bad), which is probably a population issue. At the same time, some of the maps feel like they're too large and confusing to navigate. But I'd like to see what these modes would be like if it was reduced to 8 or 10. The aforementioned modes that I've played consist of 12 players (aside from Elimination which I think is 6), from my point of view 12 players in this game feels like it's too many - at times it can be pretty difficult and frustrating to pick yourself out from amongst the crowd, I dread to think what would happen if everyone chose the same vehicle. There's also a special event mode which applies mutators to your game (todays one respawns you as a new vehicle after every death), and a ranked mode, but for whatever reason the season doesn't open for another 92 days!?! Within the battle mode, aside from health there are no weapon pick ups, but you're able to use three weapons (and one special) that are unique to your vehicle and recharge over time. Within race and elimination there are weapon pick ups dotted around ala Mario Kart, these consist of a limited number of weapons - a hammer, a nerf gun and a nerf bomb (I think that may be it.) which in itself is pretty disappointing and substandard to what they've got in the app. Upon starting the game I was saddened to see that there are only 12 vehicles available to choose from (compare this to the mobile app where there are 98 unlockable vehicles) and there are a number of superficial skins/taunts/logos to unlock for each car, oh and loot crates - if you like that kind of thing, then great.Īt the moment the game consists of three main game modes, Battle (which has random modes such as king of the hill and capture the flag - strangely there doesn't seem to be a basic battle mode.), Race (straight up racing with up to 12 players which can be pretty hectic), and Elimination (if you fall of the screen, then you lose points - whereas if you're one of the last ones remaining then you gain).
