Anyone? Bueller? JesseM, our extreme-sports madman?

<BR>If so, let me know what you think. I dug Hofmann for the Dreamcast.

I rented it this past Saturday and have until this Saturday. Problem is I have yet to really get into it. I did play it the first night about an hour. It seemed to me like the same game that I have on the DC with much better graphics. That´s not a bad thing either. There are new move types to do and such. Not sure if it is worth the purchase for me due to having the DC version.

<BR>Thanks for the input. Many sites and gamers have moaned about the difficulty level really ramping up quickly, causing many gamers to hit a "wall" in the career mode.
<BR>
<BR>Let me know if you encounter this. I like a challenge, so a game must be a real ripper for me to criticize it for being too hard.
<BR>
<BR>I loved Hoffman on the DC, so maybe my spare $30 will go toward Hoffman! <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">

<BR>Keep in touch.

I think my biggest problem with this game and many games like it is the locked stuff. I hate it. I buy a BMX game so I can ride a bike and do tricks in different locales. But I get the game home and I can ride one bike in one place.
<BR>
<BR>This just gets to me. I encountered the same thing with MSR for the DC. Thankfully I d/l a save game that had everything unlocked and enjoyed the game quite a bit. I just don´t get it. I understand having some things locked that you can get through quality time with the game. But to lock the whole basic core of your game seems kinda stupid to me as it may cause people to turn away once they get so far and not get to see the rest of the game you worked so hard on.
<BR>
<BR>Simply put, if a game is good I´m gonna play. I don´t need 90% of the game locked after paying $50 for a "full" game.
