STREET UNi X

At first glance you might think this is a THPS clone but there's twists to the formula that make Street Uni X a cool, unique and fun extreme sports game. To get into it you gotta stop trying to play this like like a thps game, you need to make good use of the your footplant, walltaps, rotation and riding fakie to get the flow of stages and get those hgih scores. but when it all clicks its addictive! It's harder than thps at first, especially score wise, but you get the feeling of satisfaction of learning a different set of tricks to play with, to make unique combos in a way no amount of replaying THPS can deliver Plus I dig the art style and smaller touches like like the throwback PDA style phone and texts. The soundtrack has some great songs by acts i've not heard before too!

This rules! One of the few extreme sports games that properly nail the vibe and the physics of the old THPS games without directly cloning either: the game gets rid of THPS' awkward separation between vert and street tricks, but it does not just treat the unicycle as a skateboard, and in turn you have keep in mind which side to grind on and what speed you're taking into combos. The game is on the short side with five levels, but all of them feel properly designed with plenty of combo opportunities.

A whole lot of fun and does an amazing job at translating what a unicycle would control like in a THPS-type format. Music is also fantastic as well as the whole design being very retro as well. My only real complaint at the moment is that I think the game is just a tad bit short with there only being five levels to play through. If there were more levels to play through and explore that were added in the future possibly as DLC that would be fantastic but otherwise, this game is wonderful and I highly recommend you check out this hidden gem.
