When the first Stoked hit the market back in February of this year, there was no doubt that the snowboarding game showed potential, but thanks to some shoddy design decisions it was largely passed over and quickly forgotten. Just nine months later and I find myself looking at Stoked: Big Air Edition, a director's cut of sorts that presents two more mountains, tweaked mechanics and better tricking locations. But is the package good enough to make everyone forget about the problems we experienced a short time ago? Read on for the answer.
Given the relatively short development window for Big Air Edition, the limited amount of original content is understandable, but this redux of the first Stoked does a good job of giving those who didn't venture onto the mountain the first time around a good reason to now. The layout of Big Air Edition is much more conducive to progression thanks to dozens and dozens of challenges now being accessible through the menu system rather than having to comb a mountainside on a snowboard in search of them. Your purpose and end goal are still a bit of a mystery and your general direction and "what to do next" can get lost a bit in the myriad challenges that are presented.
