Is Eddie voiced by David Arquette again?
Great video, thanks.
Does anyone know if you still get more points for tricks by tapping L1 on jumps? Or did they patch that out?
They patched it out. It's part of what the day 1 patch was for.

I wish. I don't have him unfortunately, and I'm not sure who is voicing him, but it's not David Arquette.
I personally think the 360 version is better, but definitely download the demo for both.
I had the same reaction.

The same. 360 also doesn't get Mt. Fuji. I dunno if it's an extra or if it was just removed, either way 360 owners got screwed.
I know the deal, I'm in for some pain. However, I just need something with pickup and play potential and decent replay.

Then you're in the right place. When you get good, its very replayable, very pick-up-and play material.
Some people prefer how the 360 version controls.

Ran through the demo again today after a week hiatus, just to see if my old concerns might have been alleviated. Sadly no. Sorry guys, this just ain't the SSX I grew up with. It tries admirably, but there's too much iffy shit they included that detracts from the overall experience. Maybe if it hits the PSN store some day for under $20, I'll bite.

Much harder. But the levels from the demo aren't hard. If you thought they were, you will more than likely have issues with the final game.
360 version looks better, but not by much. Fuji is 2 runs (2 trick, 2 race)...2 really awful runs. Caves filled with death holes = the opposite of fun. But I would have gone with the PS3 version to get Fuji. The reason I didn't is because the game controls better (tighter) on the 360 analogs. In a game like this, that's infinitely more important to me than a little extra content. That's how I made my decision. It also helps that I can jump into a group of friends in voice chat and trash talk during events. Can't do that on PS3.

They control the same.
Not where I'm from, but that's not important.
I just personally think the controls of the game are slightly tighter.

Minor differences in analog stick tension is not going to affect that or any game that much. Although I can understand someone say they prefer one or the other.

No, they actually don't. But we've covered that ad nauseum throughout this thread on several occasions.
Haha, I did the opposite. Zoe to Mac and trying to trick with him was a pain in the ass. Then I grabbed the million dollar snowflake, got him to 9 and all is right with the world again. I'm going to have a couple "mains".

Tons of replay value especially with the global events but my god the world tour can be frustrating.
Tried to get the million dollar snowflake with Griff today, holy shit that's hard. My wife made me stop because I was cursing and getting loud. :lol Will try again tonight once she's asleep.

Pretty much what I'm doing. I'm thinking Zoe, Alex and Mac. Mac is 6 right now but I got Alex to 9 thanks to that snowflake.
Right now I have Mac at Level 10, Kaori at Level 8 and Zoe at Level 9 thanks to the snowflake. Trying to get everyone to at least Level 8 since anything below that just feels slow and awkward.

lmao, Elise just sang Broken Wings while I was gliding. So many great lines.
EDIT: Right out of the helicopter and one of the male characters starts singing The Wind Beneath My Wings. THIS GAME

Just got the final Deadly Descent without the required gear achievement. Achievements and trophies are dumb for the most part, but these were actual achievements. I like that.

Just got the game. Everyone add me on XBL! My GT is PwnCakes193. Just finishing up Patagonia now and this game is unbelievable.

Did anyone see that?
I was planning to play all day tommorow...guess that'll change.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Nice work. Only a few of them seem like they'd be really difficult, but I'm not sure if I have the patience to try just yet. Right now I'm trying to get through a couple of the DDs without rewind I thought Africa would be terrible, but it only took me about 15 minutes. Saving New Zealand for last, although I played that one last night so many times I think I have it almost memorized.

Good job picking a day on the weekend. No one games on the weekend, right?
For me the one where you stay out of the shade was hard. Real hard. The others were relatively easy until I got to the race with Griff, which I had to take a lot of chances on to build a big lead at the start, and then I took my time the rest of the way. Pulse goggles are stupid. I wish they'd patch that haze out of the game in non-WT runs.
I'll just level up my characters and pray I don't post a great score in the process. :/
I seriously want to level up all my characters, but the moment I switch from my level 10 Kaori....it's like the game's on slow mo

So what's the best way to level-up?
Doing drops in explore mode. XP you earn is equal to the credits you make. I get around 60k every event. It also helps if you have alot of rivals to pass too because you get XP for every spot you move up on the leaderboard. Then there's that million credit snowflake that'll also give you 1 million xp.

Gold Medals in Explore usually do it or me pretty quick... Level 8 Kaori, Level 9 Alex with just 6 medals on the Rockies
Aww, man, I thought there was more time to the race. Congrats on winning, that was fun
What was your final time?
It runs till Thursday I think. Everyone should check it out, but I doubt anyone will beat either of us. =)

May I ask what line you took? I used the hidden line with the uber 10 second free fall and got it down to 1:14 if I remember correctly. Hadn't put too much time into that track yet but I do really dig it!
Some people prefer how the analog sticks feel on the 360 pad.
