No button mashing and landing cool tricks. Prepare yourself to gradually grasp the controls and over time pull off some pretty cool **** For sure the new skate of snowboarding. Very comparable in difficulty. I would rank IA as a difficult game but very rewarding once mastered. Just drop in and shred. Love it.… Expand

Encourages imagination and creation with the robust World Editor and you can share and shred other peoples parks. This is an amazing title getting beat up by critics who play for 10 mins and don't take the time to learn the controls, or features.
   
   Fantastic game. 10/10… Expand

Often times it needs precise timing to do the same tricks twice. But if you don't mind learning and challenges this will be the closest game on PC to Skate.
   Despite providing authentic snowboarding experience it could be, there's definitely a bit arcade elements I guess to draw more players. For example if landing not perfectly often times you'd still land, but comes with awkward animation, so this pushes me to land as clean as possible.
   
   If there's not much of speed, just do an ollie.
   Graphically there are some weird pop outs but I guess that's just Unity being Unity. Performance is good though, often time Unity games would cause my CPU fan go nuts after some time of playing, this game is not the case. (i5 6600)
   
   So above are few of the things to take note, but otherwise brilliant game!
   Edit: Few things I didn't notice but is actually in game. And I was totally wrong about too many huds. You can turn it off in Settings-Gameplay-Hud. Make sure to turn off Run Marker too which I didn't. I'll update more stuff once I get into them.… Expand

   Infinite Air is the best snowboarding ever game. Controls are very similar to Skate which is awesome and the ability to create your own parksInfinite Air is the best snowboarding ever game. Controls are very similar to Skate which is awesome and the ability to create your own parks and mountains adds to the replay-ability. Every single time i fire up the game someone has made a new sick park which i spent all night riding. If you love snowboarding its hard not to love this game. The physics are great and make everything feel right, especially when you land a few tricks in a row perfectly. I'd give it a 10 if we could adjust the difficulty and make it even harder by catching edge if you land crooked. Keep up the good work you bloody champions ! Cant wait for Infinite Air 2!… Expand

It's by far the most realistic snowboarding game I've played, and the depth of the controls allows you to have so much control over how you ride. The best pros in real life have their own distinctive style, and this game actually has such nuanced controls that you can have your own style in the game. Try doing that in something like SSX. Yes, the controls have quite a steep learning curve, but once you learn them, the game opens up so much. But you have to commit to learning them to enjoy the game. This isn't the kind of game where you rush through the "story" (hint, there isn't one) just to get to the "end game content" (hint, there isn't any). It's the kind of game where you play it for the mechanics. I think that's why you see a divide in how the users review the game compared to how critics review the game (here and elsewhere). If you're a professional critic, you've got to rush through a game, perhaps a game where you're not even that interested in the content. This is the worst game to play in that setting, so it's not surprising they bashed it. In fact, the biggest complaints are with the control scheme, which is one of my biggest praises.
   
   I'm giving the game an 8 because I'm not fooling myself into thinking it's a perfect game; it isn't. So here are some of the cons: Some of the animations are a little bit rough. The soundtrack is lacking (but easy enough to just mute it and put your own tunes on). The world editor is very robust and allows you to do a lot (this is a good thing), but it can be very finicky to have precise and accurate placement. Finally, the replay editor is certainly sufficient, but lacking some features that could make it incredible; limited camera angles, no slowmo, no keyframes, etc.
   
   All in all, this game is a no brainer if you're into snowboarding or want a more simulator-esque experience. If you like the EA Skate games, you'll probably like this game. If the idea of finding an awesome rail, and putting a session marker above it and riding the same rail for 15 minutes straight sounds fun to you, this game is absolutely for you.… Expand
