I think along with the casino, that jump through the clouds is one of the best setpieces in the game so far!

This game actually looks pretty good. I was always terrible at Extreme Sports games, so watching you easily beat these is pretty impressive. Would you say this game is easier then the Tony Hawk Series, or not?

Relax, boi, y'still have an audience!  Anyways, never really played most of the spinoff XTREME sports titles by Activision, but one stuck out in my mind because it hates me and wants me to die. Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX. Balancing in Tony Hawk? Nooo problem. Shaun White? Sure, that doesn't seem too hard... Matt loving Hoffman's Pro loving BMX? Hope you're a living spirt level, mofo! Anyways, this is a roundabout way of saying I'll be watching.

Looking at gameplay of the first one Matt Hoffman game, that is even more of a Tony Hawk reskin that Shaun Palmer. While I did go on sort of a tangent in the previous level, I have played these levels a dozen of times before recording each, so things look easier. I only say it because it's possibly true, but I may be the best SPPS player in the world

"What doesn't go smoothly here is...well, this" *misses a snowman, jumps into a wall* That was worth a laugh!  And wow, like Ineffable so eloquently put it that was quite a jump. That's a good set piece for this level. I feel like even if they had to use all of Tony Hawk's mechanics if the game had better level design with more moments like that it could have stood on its own better. You made some good level-analysis comments too, getting on top of that house for the 3rd logo seems like it could have been much cooler if they had done more with that area. Only 3 levels left to go? It's a shame this looks like it doesn't come with a level designer like the Tony Hawk series, that could have added a lot to the game as well.

Just chiming in to say I'm really enjoying this, your commentary is very dry but it suits the game quite well and it's a good LP to put on if you just want to relax for 10 minutes. Keep at it, I think you've found a solid rhythm for your videos now.

So how much trickin' can you actually get in on that crazy drop through the fog? Can you do so many spins they run out of degrees?

Well there is a super spin cheat as well so i guess it's time to just figure out what the limit is  EDIT: Well with half gravity and super spins on, I still didn't reach the limit. I got up to a 4860. That's 13 and a half full spins. There are some equal or bigger jumps later on in the last level, maybe then I'll try again.

The game doesn't look bad, but you can definitely see its Tony Hawk heritage. It's certainly not as crazy as Amped on the 360.

Another day, another update. Only 2 more levels to go after this one. I never really thought about having a bonus video... Cheats might be okay but there's nothing too game-changing in there. Level 6: Squaw Valley

Laughed at the "Pro Skater?" gap! At least they're honest. The Siberian Air jump was cool, it would have been good for more levels to have features like that. Despite all being very linear it seems like the levels are fairly large, at least big enough where they can put things like that away from everything else. Looking forward to seeing what the last level is like. It's a shame the game doesn't allow you to customize more things, like character movesets. You have used special tricks very well throughout the game, especially getting a ton of points off of huge jumps. Do any of the other characters have any specials that really stand out? In the Tony Hawk franchise special moves started out as real tricks but got more and more ridiculous as the series went on.

A few of them reach pull-a-foot-off-the-board levels of over the top, but none even come close to some of the stuff pulled in the SSX series. Most of the flip specials are like our character's, two or so moves combined into one special. Most of the grabs are a bit larger than life, but not that much.

You seem to be puffing into your microphone a lot more with each video. Moving it slightly out of the way of your mouth should fix that without much of a drop in volume. Good videos otherwise. I'm actually interested in this game I never really noticed.

I can't believe you didn't get shot by the cannon. It seriously looked like you were going to. In that the angle the cannon shot at looked disturbingly like where the player was in the air. I dunno, just looked weird to me. Also I'm going to reinterate these massive scores you get are leaving me dumbstruck. 10,000 points was usually an awesome trick for me in Tony Hawk. You got 300,000 at once. And that 'Hold up to leave a halfpipe' thing is like, in every game and I still never realized it until like, 5 hours into each one.

Well, like you it took me waaay too long to figure out how to bonk things correctly, so those goals were tricky to do at first. But the goals in Mt. Hood, I think the only way to find the 'clear the road' and 'cut the power' is to keep replaying the level. 'Cut the power' is easy enough to find after you drop the billboard, but that traffic one is pretty obtuse. To be honest, I could remember how to do all the level goals up until these two, and the next level's. (But that's because I don't remember what the goals are off the top of my head)

If it doesn't, just wait a day or two. Also,  just got a HAUL of games for this series from my local used game store... 5 games for 30 bucks. This isn't the worst of hobbies. Also, that means that maybe after the next game, you guys can vote on the third game. That really brings people in to post.

The cannon is probably one of those ones they use for avalanche control (although I didn't think those were permanently mounted.)

Well, this is it. It's been a fun ride. Oh, I'm not leaving, just finishing Shaun Palmer. Level 8: Gotcha Glacier  And with that, it's one game down, more to go. I recorded this right after I did level 7, so the mic may still be a bit messy. Don't worry, because the commentary for the next game is going along smoothly, and it will be more robust, and more entertaining than my single self here. The first episode of that will go up in a few days. I'll post a little teaser for the thread. If anyone figures the game out...uhh...yay?

Gotcha Glacier was pretty much the only level I remembered from this game; it was the only map that my friend and I would play when we were kids. While the other stages had neat set pieces, I kinda wish they were more laid out like GG.
