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.
You want to ride, but you can't a take vacation? Don't worry Stoked: Big Air Edition is on the way to give you a fresh and unique experience! Just keep a window open to add the feeling of the winter cold air on you face.
