    Are you kidding me?

    I need 100 medals for the next unlocks. I'm 3 to go. Obviously you need 100% everywhere. One of the remaining contests is that stupid Icarus flying. If I'd want a stupid flying or skiing game, I'd buy one. But I bought a bike game. Why is it necesary to enforce this utterly stupid nonsense in order to progress with the game?

    Besides of that, the Icarus contest is impossible on pc. I keep on smashing space and cursor down and all I get is silver. I don't even get close to gold. And moreover something happens when I smash the space key repeatedly. The screen starts flickering and the game is stuttering.

    What a disappointment in such a nice game

    While I'm at a rant: Is it possible to get rid of:

    * the intro music? it sucks
    * the facebook and youtube stuff?

    You are not required to play ANY skill games to progress, please look harder

    Don't forget to play the HD tracks. They also count towards your total medal count. I made the same mistake on my first playthrough and thought they made the progression requirements extremely difficult

    If any gamer in 2013 still does not have a gamepad for playing certain games on his/her PC that person deserves to be frustrated.

    and I'm actually quite thankful for the variety of amusing challenges.

    Oh thanks, that solved the problem

    Wasn't Ubi Soft the first ones who got rid of manuals?

    But still, why is the Icarus flight not working on PC? Guess I'll have to fire up my controller and try with that.

    Also, does anyone know why the game keeps on stuttering for seconds? It runs totally smooth most of the time, but occasionally the framerate slows down to like 15.

    I really thought so at first but not I get a giggle out of it and it has become synonymous with good times in my mind I guess.

    Dude you cannot play this game with a mouse and keyboard. You will hate the game once you try anything beyond Medium. Please go buy yourself a wired controller. You can probably get a used one pretty cheap if you need to. I promise you the game will be at least 10 times more fun with a controller.

    I assure you that a lot of people around here use keyboard without problem. I'm done with everything from beginner to hard, i struggle at some extremes, but i'm nowhere near hating the game because of that.

    Thanks. I own one, but I rather play with keyboard. However, in the hard levels it seems to be easier to balance the bike with the controller. So I'm using that one for now.
