Whereas 1080 generally speeds along, Twisted Edge coasts. Whereas 1080's physics enable players just enough hang-time to pull off various moves, the boarders in Twisted Edge seem to float through the air in a fashion that reminds one of the Rush series. The trick system itself is considerably different than in 1080. Not only is far more simplistic, but it's more intuitive as well, thanks largely to the fact that players can pull off combo-tricks. A Mctwist is performed by pressing Right, Down, Left, Up, A in sequence.
Spins are even easier.
By simply holding Left or Right in conjunction with the A button, boarders will continuously spin through the air limited only by the ground beneath them. Pulling off a 1080 is easy as cake. And, best of all, it's perfectly possible to manipulate a 1080 and follow it up with a method before dropping back down to the ground. Unfortunately, Twisted Edge's trick system maybe its only saving grace. The game, especially by comparison to 1080, moves at a dreadfully slow pace.
