Xbox hasn?t even been out a full year but developers can already see the potential power of the system. That?s probably why its getting so many titles from other systems. One of those titles is Aggressive Inline from Acclaim and Z-Axis. Based around freestyle skating as opposed to BMX or skateboarding, Aggressive Inline features some of the best skaters around. Ranging from X Game to Gravity Game champions, some of the greats include Chris Edwards, Franky Morales, Shane Yost, Matt Lindenmuth, Eido Yasutoko and many more. The game also uses a ?Juice Meter? that all but does away with timed games. In short, this allows players to play as long as they want ? provided they don?t mess up too many tricks.
Aggressive Inline is nicely garnished with 10-15 cinematic events per level and a soundtrack including Saliva, Black Sheep, Reel Big Fish, Hoobastank, Sublime and Pharcyde. The Xbox version also makes use of the additional hardware power with advanced lighting and what looks to be bump mapping in the screens.
We tell you how to complete every challenge and unlock all the goodies in the game.
Let's face it: The extreme has become the mundane. The extreme sports titles that caused jaws to drop and fingers to bleed a couple of years ago have given way to a glut of rip-offs, knock-offs, and sequels. The result is that if it's something that can be done on a bike, board, blades, or skates, the odds are that gamers have already done it. We've been grinded, flipped, and handplanted to death. A 540? Big deal. A 720? Been there. A 900? Ho-Hum. It's enough to make the extreme sports fan break down and cry in their Mountain Dew. Acclaim's Aggressive Inline may be just what's needed to wake up this tired genre. It's as fun and exhilarating as a classic three-chord punk tune at a folk rock festival. Read More »
