I'll be getting this as I have the original and enjoyed that. I wasn't much into doing the tricks, I just prefered to race. The original could have use a few more tracks.
The original was fun, for N64, right?
I didn't like the control system, not very intuitive.
Plus, some moves were almost impossible to do...
Too bad this one uses a similar control system, but maybe they will have customization.
Reading this article, I can see many of my concerns are being addressed. Great!
I think I rented the original a few times. I liked how the spins actually took some skill to pull off. The best trick I could do was a 900. I never could get the 1080.
I might check out this new one.
