Time played: 80 minutes
Session fun rating: 9/10
I played through two more deadly descents, Alaska and Antarctica. Alaska was super fun for the most part as it had great trick courses where doing crazy tricks are easy to do and there is a lot of open space. The deadly descent is an avalanche. At first, I thought it would be lame but it turns out they decided to reverse the camera, turning the camera angle to the front of the boarder, kind of like the top down view of old ski games. The event was pretty easy, just had to trick a bit then boost out of the way of the avalanche while trying to stay on high ground.
Antarctica is a different beast. It's filled with deadly crevasses and tunnels. It was a bit more frustrating than Alaska because of that but the tracks were still fun to play overall, they weren't too crazy. Crazy is the deadly descent for this event. It's so cold down there that staying in the shade for too long will kill you. The deal is, stay in the sun as long as you can while building up boost, then boost through the shaded areas. It works well but the final track was pretty difficult. I had to restart five or six times before I found a path that didn't leave me freezing to death at the bottom of a tunnel. I also did the first even of the Himalayas which also feature fucking Mount Everest and grinds on the Great Wall of China, I can't wait to see that!
