Played it free on xbox. I got to stage 4 in the coal mine before giving up. The drill sequence was a huge pain due to having to make so many tight turns and drops in a strict time limit, and I failed so many times I had to restart the level. Then I finally managed to beat it before failing the level again afterwards due not not being able to figure out what to do. The previous levels were decent with mostly being linear driving with occasional jumps and vertical transitions. But the mine level expects you to platform vertically. On a motorcycle. I probably would have stuck it out if failing at platforming did not damage health, and losing all health did not fail the level. And this was still only the 1st chapter. I shudder to think what the later level are like.
Controls are clunky with a little too many different moves, while also not allowing full freedom of control; particularly with steering, changing what line you drive on and turning around. It was also annoying how often the guy landed on his head and that counts as a fail at platforming. In the 1st level I pressed the wrong button to charge up the elevator, thereby flipping the motorcycle over. After the elevator was at the top I released, head touched the ground, respawned in mid air below the elevator, fell to death multiple times and had to restart the level.
I don't like platforming or motorcycles enough to put up with this game, so I am done with it.
