I am the Strawberry Extreme Cream Getting down to business. I’m totally fine with this, I don’t need an overtly detailed avatar, especially when I’m going to be grinding for full coverage outfits anyway. I feel like the Ubisoft have a really great handle on “this is a party game all about speed and fun, so let’s just throw them into the action as soon as we can.” After a few first boot settings you’re thrown into creating your avatar, again it’s a really simplified version of this mechanic, in fact probably the most out there customisation at the moment is colouring your gnarly hair style. I was really happy there wasn’t too much guff at the beginning of the game before getting your first bike and getting on your way, understandably so given the size of games these days I find sometimes there’s too much time spent introducing you to what you’re about to dive into. I’m not overstating it when I say “big wide world”, the Rider’s Republic map is huge and there is loads of activity and as you progressed up the level system you saw more activity across the map including other avatars and between those moving around on the map and the fellow RR players on screen when you’re back in 3rd person (or 1st if that’s your preference) the world very much feels ALIVE. (*Plural is for the purposes of this story to make it seem like Adele had many favourite spots, but in the interest of journalistic integrity and honesty with you, it was pretty hard to tear her away from the Pub.) Myself and some other great local publication legends, who will be hence forth known as “The Extreme Creams” (I am the only one who knows this) and are the 5 best friends that any of us should have, were chaperoned by Ubisoft ANZ’s wonderful “Extreme Queen” Adele Jefferys through an afternoon of fun with the game which included going through the (at that point) limited number of sports available, game controls, smart trails, trick system, landmarks, and the social hub, Rider’s Ridge, before heading out into the big wide world and diving into career events, various modes, and a few of Adele’s favourite spots*. I’m a 36 year old father of three who spent 5 grand on snowboard gear for a one off trip back in 2006 and it’s going to take me a bit of time to get my groove back.
