1080 Gamecube

[007]

How on earth are you getting these insane combos? This is trick attack one you're talking about isn't it? Max i've got is 20k! He just doesn't want to start comboing untill the end, the bitch.

Any tips?

You using Ricky and the BT board? When your set to do your tricks perform a jump and start either a clockwise spin or front flips and do your 1st trick, wait until you flash green and then pull off the rest of your tricks in succesion. Once you get the knack of it its awesome.

Right well, I played this at the weekend, and basically did almost everything. It's, how can you say, dumbed down for the masses. Admitted I haven't tried the Double Black Diamonds yet, but they are just cheap mirrored slopes. Still haven't got my head around the trick system yet.

Generally just a little dissappointed how mind crushingly easy the game is. Damn good two player mode though, must by freaking brilliant on LAN.

JibberX, I too was pretty disappointed with the match race but the game really comes into life when you play gate mode and time trialling.

Put a few hours into those and the game really lives up to it's potential.

I've done a lot of multiplayer, but why can't you have access to all the courses on it? ft:

Time trialling is where it is at (for the single player). Like all good arcade racers - The finishing the track isn't the tough part, the shaving milliseconds off of your times is.

It's one of life's mysteries, friend thought it might be something to do with possible slow down ?
Annoying though.

I am definitly digging the Time Trials and Gates, I'd best look at the Challenges section, because the times are in the games a easily whuppable.

Gotta love that NES pad.

Got this at the weekend... the main game is very easy... and I'd by lying if I said I wasn't dissappointed that I finished most racers first time. There didn't really seem to be a huge challenge...

however...

Time Trial and Gate Challenge are ace. Getting all the coins also requires quite a bit of skill and shaving off those seconds is great fun...

Just wish it had an online component like PGR2 to allow you to upload ghosts and times etc,.

The original was the same though. Easy to beat the courses in Match Race, but difficult to get the best times. However, after playing 1080 GC, the level of control required to do well in 1080 64 is much higher.

Yeah, the original 1080 was a better game all round - the track design and handling mechanics have yet to be bettered in a snowboarding game.

Just watching the intro of 1080 there... it's actually really well edited to fit with the music.

Games ace as well... def grows on you once you get into time trials and coin challenges...
