What do you the rest of you guys think this far after launch? Have you found yourself going back to it, or does it just not have the same 'one more go' feeling that the first 3 had?
Some advice for enjoying the game:
Play the story mode first, never rewind unless you're playing a deadly descent, and always allow events to fail. Once you fail any event three times, you're given the chance to skip it. Do this, and keep moving on until you've finished the story. Especially towards the end when you're forced to do deadly descent races, story mode kind of sucks.
USE MY EVENT LIST, and only race / trick the 1 or 2 level drops until you're very comfortable with the game. Then move onto level 3 drops. You should probably just skip 4 and 5 altogether until you're really sick of everything else.
Find some other friends with the game, and compete against their scores and times. Set up your own private events, play at the same time as a friend or two, and see what fun you can create that way.
Use the custom soundtrack feature. It's kind of awesome.
Learn how tricks work. If you're not able to perform a single combo throughout an entire run, you either don't know what you're doing, or you need practice. If you can't combo an entire run, keep reading.
Use the new control style. The less you have to touch the awful xbox d-pad the better.
JUMPING: As you approach a jump, you should hold down the A button, and you should hold your left stick in any direction (up, down, left, right, or a diagonal) This is called pre-winding. As you reach the end of the ramp, you should let go of the A button (which will cause you to jump), and keep holding the left stick in your chosen direction. When you make your jump, you'll find that you will spin or flip much faster than you normally would.
TRICKING: While you're in the air, let go of the buttons, and move your hand to the right stick. Pull it in one or two directions, and then hold the stick in any direction. Think about the skydiving tutorial for help. As long as you're spinning or flipping, and holding a direction on the right stick, you're going to be scoring points.
LANDING: To land safely, simply let go of the control sticks, and you'll automatically adjust yourself for a safe landing. After you land, you should hold the X button to board slide, and the right trigger to boost. As you board slide, you will continue your combo. Once you reach tricky or super tricky mode, you will have unlimited boost, and you will keep that ability for as long as you can keep your combo alive.
TRICK EVENTS: Long combos are the key to a gold medal, but there is a risk / reward element to keep in mind. The longer your combo is, the more points you'll get from finishing it, but if you bail then it will have all been for nothing. When trying to get a silver or gold medal, at least while you're learning the game, you should probably end your combos now and then if you're afraid of losing the points that you've earned so far. When you can get gold every time, you can move on to trying to combo the entire event.
