And to think I was going to get the XBOX version thanks to EA's awful online play :(Quote:
On Xbox, the pro setting puts Turbo on L-trigger, and Jump on R-trigger...while jumping with a trigger is doable, I guess, having to hold L-trigger while boosting is obnoxious.
*Hugs his ps2 copy*
HOTPANTS XD~~~
I have the cube version, and I have no problems with it. It controls just like Tricky and I've never put anytime any of the PS2 versions, so I don't miss an extra grab button. The B button doubles as a tweak button so you can grab with one button and then tweak that grab for more points. I like how the characters "self right" themselves now. Just let go with enough time and they'll spin themselves right side up for a nice landing. I've only had one graphical glitch, my character and board dissappeared near the end of Metro City. No idea why, but I finished the course and it was fine.
I think I'm almost done with all of the races (I'm using Nate). I've only done like 8 challenges though, so I have a lot left. When you unlock stuff for getting metals (like artwork and stuff) where do you access it? I've unlocked a ton of stuff but can't find it.
go to the lodge and look at your character profile, there's a wealth of info in there. You can buy art and stuff also.
Well, that's dumb, they should have just made the Xbox with grabs on the shoulders, and on the b/w buttons, and kept it the same otherwise.Quote:

And then you're left with a better looking game, with much better load times. You're lacking the two player online component, but I think multiplayer kinda sucks in comparison to the full fleshed out single player game anyway.
So don't hate on the Xbox version! ;)
I don't. It's the one I have...I just want customizable controls. Like you said, as you get better, you don't bounce around, and know when to lay off the turbo...still, it causes me some unexpected crashes every now and then.Quote:

When you're flying over lots of small little jumps (or even bumps) I know it's hard not to be boosting and have it turn into a grab and watch your character eat snow afterwards. I won't argue that the PS2 has better control, but I will argue that the Xbox version is the one to have, due to graphics, excellent control (thats harder to master than the PS2 one... not really a good thing but not bad either), and faster load times (by a lot). In the end though, the game is great across the board, so I won't dwell on this anymore. :)
I've maxed out Kaori's stats and got a gold on all of the races with her. Now onto the freestyle stuff (which I don't enjoy as much as the racing but is still fun) and a second character.
There is a shit load of stuff to unlock. Just when you think you've seen it all...Oh and the R&B course on peak 1 has to be one of the best levels ever designed. It's so much fun.
