GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    The prose needs polishing. Below are some example as guidance to find similar issues in the whole article.
    • Gameplay: Some areas describe the player's actions, but it is the player character that performs the actions. For example:
      • "the player rides a physics-based motorcycle" → "the player controls a rider on a physics-based motorcycle"
      • "the player can only move forwards and backwards" → "the rider can only move forwards and backwards"
    • Development: Some areas can be trimmed to be more concise and direct. For example:
      • "Doing so was seen by RedLynx as" → "RedLynx saw this as"
      • "level editor that players can use to make user-based content" → "level editor that allows players to make user-based content"
      • The first mention of "Trials HD Big Thrills Pack" uses "will" for a future tense, but later states that the content was released, requiring a present tense.
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
    The numbers in the reception section need to be consistent per MOS:NUM. Basically there is "three hundred thousand", "1.3 million", and "368,000". For consistency's sake, I suggest using "0.30 million" "1.30 million", "0.36 million", and "0.09 million" to maintain scale. Don't forgot about a non-breaking space between the number and word.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    What makes the following sources reliable?
    Not a big deal but the 1UP.com link redirects to an updated url. It would be best to use the new address in the ref.
    C. No original research:
    The statement about based on the flash games is not it the reference given. A reasonable conclusion, but best to simply state that the developer created other games in flash prior to this game.
    In the Reception section, attribute the leaderboard comment to the author.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    The FUR for File:TrialsHDscreenshot.png and File:TrialsHD levelEditor.png are rather sparse. The descriptions and purpose of uses should be expanded.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    On hold pending article revisions

I did an initial sweep, and will finish the review hopefully tomorrow. (Guyinblack25 talk 22:29, 17 February 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Finished my review. The article is in good shape. Once the above issues are addressed, I'll pass the article. Keep up the good work. (Guyinblack25 talk 21:43, 18 February 2011 (UTC))[reply]
Finished everything but what's in point 2. Still working on that. --Teancum (talk) 00:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Finished updating the article. --Teancum (talk) 00:35, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sequel?

[edit]

Is this the sequel to Trials 2 or vice versa? Or neither? This game came out later but the other has a "2" in it. I'm not sure if it's is called Trials 2 as a joke or if it really is a sequel to this. --170.28.224.10 (talk) 15:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trials HD is the third in the series. The first Trials game was a flash game, then game Trials 2 on PC, then Trials HD on Xbox 360, then Trials Evolution on the 360. Now HD and Evolution are coming to PC. This should clear up the confusion (second video). I should probably think about creating a series article. --Teancum (talk) 17:13, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
