ConnectedConsoles: Stoked, which has the highest Metacritic score of any advanced-generation snowboarding game, is now faster, bigger, easier to control, and even more gorgeous in Stoked: Big Air Edition. New features include racing, marked trails that make it easy to find great runs, lots of park objects to use for tricks, two new mountains, better visuals, and faster and smoother riding. Stoked: Big Air Edition is priced at $39.99 and will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 videogame system from Microsoft® on November 24, 2009.
Stoked: Big Air edition was released in 2009 in the US- does the game cut it now it has finally been released in Europe?
"There’s plenty to do, and once you get used to the controls, the frustrations lessen a little. Getting 100% is a monumental challenge, and would take a seasoned gamer dozens of hours, so the game presents a great value proposition if you’re up for the challenge and get past the frustrations."
Everybody Plays: Way back when, when the Xbox 360 launched in 2005, a game launched alongside it to little or no real reception. That game was called Amped 3. Easily the jewel in the crown of the 360's launch line-up, Amped 3 was a snowboarding game like none that had come before it. With a madcap bunch of characters, a challenging single player mode, a sense of humour, and controls that almost anyone could pick up and play, Amped 3 set new standards for the snowboarding genre.
MSXbox - Stoked: Big Air Edition should be entertaining for fans of the genre; as long as they know going in that it's a straight to business snowboarding game without a main hook other than challenges.
For an updated version of a game that came out in 2009, Big Air Edition just doesn't do enough to justify a purchase for those who bought the original Stoked. However, to those who are thinking about buying this game, I would wait as even at the average price of £25 it still feels overpriced for what you get. This title to me is a rent only or a below £15 purchase at most.
Couldnt they just update the old one?!!
Now I have to buy this game again? Fack.
...great game though :)
but i hopes it released soon after the US release
