   Infinite AIr is the most authentic snowboarding game ever made. Learning curve is massive, animations are impressive, sound design is nearly perfect and, the most important, gameplay is fantastic. Don't trust official reviewers and try this game (free demo on steam).… Expand

   The sheer variety and depth of tricks and ways to perform them make me rate this so high. The park editor adds a lot of replayability.

No real story mode once you pass the circuit challenges but the mountain is huge making free riding consistently interesting, making runs and courses is fun and infinite in possibility, and the user-made runs are absolutely insane. Controls are tricky at first but certainly learnable and fairly automatic after an hour or two. Once you play for a bit you learn the nuances of flips, spins and grabs. Building a run is difficult at first but again only takes a couple of tries to get good at, and once you have gotten proficient the possibilities are insane. Again, love this game and super happy i stumbled across it.… Expand

   One of the best snowboard games to come out in a long time.

This game seems to take it's cues from EA's Skate series not only in regards to it's control scheme, but also the overall style of gameplay. You'll find a section of the hill that you'll session for an extended period of time until you hop back into the helicopter in search of another line.
   
   The circuit (a collection of challenges) is a fun distraction, but the real meat of this game is exploring the mountain at your leisure, designing a run, or creating multiple runs of your own procedural generated mountain. There is a lot of user made content floating around, and while some of it is poorly constructed, there are lot of different runs that are immensely enjoyable. From realistic terrain parks to insane, death defying, hyper-unrealistic playgrounds, the user generated content has it all.
   
   The controls seem to be a pain point for a lot of the professional critics, and I think that is a fair point. It's not a game you can just pick up and master in a day. It takes some practice to understand the timing, but once you get a handle on it, the game's doors are opened and you can have a lot of fun. You can ride as realistically or as over the top as you like. Backside 180s, frontside 360s, and rodeo 720s feel satisfying. If you want to get crazy you can find the right line and throw a 2160 quintuple misty flip. Hitting rails and boxes is fun, too.
   
   The gear is a bit limited in terms of clothes, boards, boots, and so on, but the devs seem to be making an active effort to include more.
   
   I'm writing more than I intended so I'll stop myself here and leave you with this (if you made it this far). The game is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a snowboard game with a more realistic approach.… Expand

   Another original and amazing game taken out at the knees by self-styled game "journalists".
   
   I'm 40+ hrs into this and still seeing no endAnother original and amazing game taken out at the knees by self-styled game "journalists".
   
   I'm 40+ hrs into this and still seeing no end in sight. Literally infinite mountains of content, boundless room for creativity exploring (still) active community content -cross-play supported.
   Technical, but intuitive controls serve to insure that if it can be done IRL, I can do it in Infinite Air.
   Turn off the HUD and in-game music, crank up your "chill" playlist, and just ride. You can also text a friend and slay a park or mountain together.
   What might not be obvious from looking at the box is the colossal mini-game included where you can build your own back-country kicker, or an entire fricken ski resort, grooming your own runs and custom place every chair-lift, jump, rail, shack, and lodge.
   
   Beware, this isn't a racing game with a snowboard themed skin. This baby is a full-on sim, and bar none the absolute closest you will ever get to IRL snowboarding in a video game.… Expand

   definitely not a game for everybody, as the learning curve is quite steep. it takes some time getting used to the controls, but as in skate itdefinitely not a game for everybody, as the learning curve is quite steep. it takes some time getting used to the controls, but as in skate it feels all the more rewarding once you've completed this one trick or line you've been working on.
   
   if you are a casual ssx player looking for a fast and cheap thrill you will have to look elsewhere. but if you like the sport and are willing to work out the necessary timing for prewinding rotations and flips, trying again and again to get that perfect line, you're gonna have a lot of fun with this game.… Expand

This game could have been so good, I was hoping it would be. The controls are horrendously complex, it's hard to imagine someone designed them that way. And what's with the stupid respawning? There's graphical issues with clipping and the snow disapearing in large patches. It's not work the money or the time. This game was a good idea, but so poorly executed.… Expand
