| Description:
TrickStyle is one of the most stylishly pleasing games. And the Dreamcast version really pumps out the pixels with fluid animation that effortlessly follows the hoverboard riders along the tracks. One of the game's designers recently explained that the concept behind the game was for riders to find the path of least resistance, taking one graceful path down the track like "a drop of mercury". This is a great concept but this drop met many a brick wall on its way to uncertain victory. The tracks in TrickStyle are not player-friendly, and neither are the computer-controlled opponents that act more like flawless robots than flesh-and-blood competitors. Still, this game looks so cool, you can't resist playing it. The requisite tricks from snowboarding games are here, but this time they actually add important power-ups to your repertoire, favouring function over, dare we say, style. To save yourself the frustration of trying to consistently win races, you should enjoy this game by watching the screen while other more nimble or less leisure-time-deficient friends play. --Jeff Young Pros: - Jaw-dropping graphics and animation
- Functional board tricks
- Contemporary styling
Cons: - Difficult racetracks
- Unrealistically skilled computer opponents
- Need to place first in order to progress

Graphics over gameplay as usual...

One of the first games I ever saw running on a DC was Tricksyle, I watched the great graphics running at a cool 60fps and thought it looked amazing. After reading some good reviews I bought it... played it for less than an hour and returned it the next day. The controls are unresponsive and the game is slow and dull, yes, the graphics are nice but THAT DOSEN'T MAKE A GOOD GAME! Buy Crazy Taxi instead. |

Its fun to play, full off different tracks and different challenges to do.

One for the experts

As a novice gamer, (which I am!) this was not the greatest place to start my stunt-racing life. The controls require a lot more expert a hand than mine to even get going, never mind to win a race. Having said that, the graphics are nothing short of superb, especially when crashing through Big Ben's face. And the different options of surfer, style and board make things interesting--a little bit too interesting for someone of my standard! |
