It looks pretty interesting. Anyone have it and like it?

I've had it since it was released and my friends and I all love it. We are all big mountain bikers so we are kind of biased but it is a really fast and fun game. It's really cool too that you can pick actual parts and bikes in the game. No made up fantasy bikes and parts. It's also challenging. So it's not a game you will just breeze through in a few hours. With all the sponsers, manufactuers, pro riders to unlock... it should keep you busy for a while.

Is it basically like downhill skiing, just on a bike?
Is it like Tony Hawk on a bike, meaning you have to do tricks and all that stuff?

It is more like SSX or Splash down on a bike. Although there is a bit of Tony Hawk style complete these tricks, but only on certain courses. I believe there was another short thread on it a while back.

I would buy it, but then NCAA and Madden came out and I am torn as to where to waste my money!

There are tricks invloved but they are not neccesary except on the freestyle career track. All the other careers (freeride, mountaincross, technical downhill) are based on racing and what place you finish. Tricks just get you points which turns into cash so you can upgrade your bike. Freestyle career mode you have to meet certain goals like in Tony Hawk to advance to the next location.
