Hendo Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'm loving this more than ever, really enjoying the challenge of trying to get all golds on Medium. It says something that the only negative point that springs to mind is that I would prefer being able to upload any replay, so you could upload some truly horrific and hilarious fuck ups. It's so much game for a tenner, really is a bargain and is definitely one of the top XBLA games yet released. Could be my game of the year so far.

spatular Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Could be my game of the year so far. it's definitely up there for me too. really wasn't expecting it to be so good. but i think i need to take a break from it for my sanity, been trying to get a gold medal on this track on hard for the last few nights and it's driving me a bit mad now.

Jimboxy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 i stumped up for the points and spent most of yesterday playing it(sick leave FTW). Its also much better then i was expecting, although the difficulty on some of the later tracks is insane. I spent over an hour yesterday trying to get over the first set of boxes on "King of the Hill". Good game though, good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Im stuck on the first track of Extreme. There's a bit no too far from the start where you jump over two explosion boxes onto two boxes (the boxes are higher than the platform you jump onto them from so your back wheel always hits first and you use that momentum to mount them), then you jump from these boxes over another two explosion boxes onto a platform and there's a checkpoint.. You only just make the jump and will always land back wheel first on the ground between the platform and the last explosion box. Know where i mean anyone? I can get to this point but i can never make it on to the platform, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 the first set of boxes on "King of the Hill". yeah that bit is a nightmare, took me hours, only did it in the end with pure luck. did see a tip on another forum that helped me with similar stuff on different levels though so that might help here too, when you're going up the hill, leaning forward, as you're about to take off (not quite sure on the timing) quickly let go of the stick and then lean forward again straight away.

illdog Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I just watched a video of a guy pissing all over the level i was stuck on, he gained alot of speed from the section before and flew over the bit i was finding difficult on one wheel.

Jimboxy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 how do you unlock more bikes? I seem to have done loads of stuff now, but nothing else has unlocked. Cleared up the random achievements, i really enjoyed the holding down the accelerator one and the don't change position one. Is the midnight bowling at the bottom of broken bones, or am i looking in the wrong place. If so how do i do it, managed to get to the bottom yesterday and knocked all the pins over, but the last one toppled after thepost game screen had popped up. I can't even get back down there now... ::EDIT:: Looking in the wrong place it seems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've nearly finished my gold run on Medium, just got Jolly Jumper to go. Incidentally, I've currently got the top time on my friends list for Underground, 4368 in the world out of 111,241 which I'm quite proud of.

illdog Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Woo yea, just finished Extreme before i had to come back to work - man that last course is a shit. The worst part by far is just after the tractor tyres, jumping onto the two pallet ramps, the second one is a proper, proper bastard - not only landing on it but getting enough speed to launch off it to land on the oil drum before that cunt of a slope that you have to tackle next. I tried that double pallet ramp at least 1000 times, definately more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Nicely done! Just got the gold on Jolly Jumper! Currently top on the leaderboard again, as of right now you can watch my replay. Very nearly fucked it up several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 nice work hendo/ildog i'm still stuck on the same level, i can't help trying it over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Struggling for ages to get a silver on Dynamic Range on Hard and scooted onto the finish line and picked up a gold! Watch my replay to see how flukey I got. Just watched spatular's replay (as he's ahead of me) and he was so very close to a perfect run. It's the level with the two balls in the pit of fire, if you don't know it by name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's the level with the two balls in the pit of fire, if you don't know it by name. That's the one I stopped on the other night, I just couldn't get past those balls and ended up switching off in frustration. I fail at Hard.

Craymen Edge Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I passed the first Extreme level tonight, then the next one just kicked me in the balls over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 ^ box on slope bit? the 3rd extreme level is easier than the second imo. Struggling for ages to get a silver on Dynamic Range on Hard and scooted onto the finish line and picked up a gold! Watch my replay to see how flukey I got. that replay is ace, bet that's how the top dudes do it, jumping straight onto the second ball and hitting that glass rail thing must have saved you loads of time - kick ass! finally got the gold on the level i was stuggling on, more retries than before makes it sort of seem pointless though.

Pikman Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Damn and blast. Tried this over the weekend, really addictive! Shame I only have 1050 points though, no more Trials for me right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illdog Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I went back and tried that King of the Hill level again an got over those boxes quite quickly by leaning back halfway up, then when i was in the air leaning forward and kept the throttle held down and i sort of bounced over. Its amazing after fucking about on Extreme for so long how much better you learn to handle the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Woo! I finally finished hard mode! Not all golds or anything but I never thought I'd clear them all. I've got 2 of the Extreme tracks done but it's gonna be a long time before I get them done. Also, I got gold on one of the tournaments so I unlocked the donkey bike and that was well worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 i've given up on this now, managed to get all gold on easy/medium, finished Hard, got a few goals, but no way i'm doing all. Done the first extreme, got a few platinum's and done half the tourneys, when i go back to it now i've just got really frustrating things left to do so thats me done (until they release some more levels, or the best user levels for down load.)
