It's ironic how Air Ride mode looks great and probably will be as good if not better than the original, but City Trial mode looks like a fucking mess and will probably be way worse than the original
It's also important to note that Air Ride will be greatly improved by having online with randoms because of how skill based it is, so you'll no longer be out of luck if your friends aren't as good as you
but on the other hand, City Trial will probably be way less fun with randoms since it was enjoyed mostly as a social experience
destroying your friends/siblings machines and taunting them, fighting over the legendary machine parts, chilling and messing around in Free Run mode, etc.
