Is it still worth playing?

An off road quad bike trick racing game from Black Rock Studio, whose trick system rewards pulling off tricks with speed boosts. You race around the world, performing stunts at extreme heights. There are three race types. Race is a standard three lap race with plenty of turns and giant jumps, where you keep pulling fresh tricks to win. Freestyle has you combo as many tricks as you can before running out of gas. Sprint is a short five lap race with few jumps and many hard turns. If you repeat the same trick it becomes stale and earns fewer points, while new tricks are fresh and score more. Tricks fill a thrill bar, which unlocks higher level tricks, and with a full bar and a high jump you can perform a special trick. Each trick drains the boost it earns, so boost is a limited resource, and four special tricks refill it to full. Fresh tricks still make every jump a decision.
