I was going through my DC collection (90 games and counting) and found this game.

To my knowledge i had never played it, must have bought it in a trip to Gamestop when all there stuff was 30% off and buy 2 get one free.

Trickstyle is a hoverboard racing game.

Anyways, i was not to optimistic when i saw a giant Akklaim logo on it, but it turned to be a Kick Ass game! It rivals wipeouts sence of speed and "Levitation", and the graphics hold up suprisingly well. It took about 30 min. to get into it, and its really hard, but i highly recommend it if you are looking for a different kind of racing game.

i played a demo of it, i think it was a dc release game, dont remember properly.
for a while i was thinking of airblade on the ps2 (the hoverboard tony hawks game) then i remembered what it really was!!! and yeah the demo was solid so i hate to think how hard the real thing is, i think its in the offer ive bid on on ebay

I played a demo of it and I hated it. Hell, I think Rippin' Riders is better.

trick style is quite good but you have to take some time to learn properly how it works, i found the controls annoying at times but eventually got used to them and started doing well, i think i beat all but one of the tracks as one character in my prime. nice little game with very cool graphics and sound.

Thats what i thought of it for about 30 min, then i realised how much fun i was having.

I think peoples biggest problem with it is how hard it is. If you mess up once, you are going to have a damn hard time catching up.

i dont see what acclaim doing it had to do with it? the game was very well made and did quite well for a release date title. im sure some people didnt like it but its not that bad a game, there are much worse titles on the dc.

fair enough. anyway acclaim not withstanding i think its a good fun game with a few niggling problems but nothing bad enough to ruin a good little package. it took me forever to buy this one, i got the dc on release but never got it, i only bought it last year when i was doing my whole "have 200 dc games before new year '05" race thing, i bought loads of titles for rock bottom prices that i had missed or neglected to get and trickstyle was one of the suprise hits for me along with a few others.

Yea, but you have to agree, the controls could have been better.

I second that, couldn't stand the mechanics of it, just not my style you know?
