I did the first insane track today, it was actually a bit easier than I expected! Still took me 80 restarts though

This game is a wonderful technical achievement. There's a good write-up here at Eurogamer: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... h-analysis But in simple terms they've built the game from the ground up to run at 60FPS, and made a whole load of tweaks and compromises around that to maintain that 60FPS, including really clever stuff like altering the refresh rate of the shadows on the fly to keep the 'focus of the action' solid at 60FPS. (And remember, 60FPS is not 'just' 60FPS, it basically halves the controller response time, which for a pinpoint accuracy game such as this is absolutely critical.) If all console games were built with this level of technical ingenuity I'd never have a complaint with them (well, apart from keyboard + mouse for FPSers ) - between this and Pinball Arcade my PC is feeling a bit left out at the minute.Or it would do, if it weren't just a computer. |

Do any of the bike upgrades actually improve the bike or are they are all cosmetic? I have stuff like reinforced wheels and suchlike available to me. |

I only did the first two Extreme tracks in the first game. I may go back at some point, but I just got horribly stuck on the third one. YouTube videos may help. |

Sometimes one simply has to stop playing lest HE SMASH HIS FUCKING 360 UP AND PLANT THE CONTROLLER THROUGH THE SCREEN. Bastard horrible wonderfully stupidly addictive game. Getting golds isn't proving to be too much of a problem, it's beating the horrible taunting dots of friendslist doom that is driving me insane. I will unwind a bit with some Pinball Arcade I think. |

But not wishing to jinx myself come the Evolution Insane stages, I think this game is a little easier than HD because the 250cc bike is significantly better than the bike in HD. It's much easier to get height with little run-up and it's much more manoeuvrable. |

Is the most recently unlocked bike always necessarily the best on all tracks? I'm finding the Phoenix hard to use, and I'm not even sure I actually did all of the bunny hops and stuff in the license test. Think I just blunt-forced my way through it. |

Yeah, was thinking that. Cheers! First 'hard' track seems pretty evil, but I'm sure it'll click once I actually learn to use the more advanced techniques. I just can't seem to do those wee hops consistently. |
