Challenging & addictive gameplay!
The game is challenging enough to keep you thirsty for more. The city where the game takes place in is HUGE. You can literally cruise around and just shred the city, you can just keep moving, there never seems to be that invisible wall boundary.
The gear customization is limitless with the online graphics creator.
Replay movies, pictures, custom skate spots --you can upload them all and share with your buddies, a good amount of multiplayer/online options and game modes is always nice for some competition.
When you land that big trick you've been gunning for, you get that feeling of pride and accomplishment. You have to earn it in this game! There's no beginners luck.
The graphics and sound are sweet. The music is a nice mix of different genres from old-skool rap, funk, rock, wizard metal--it serves nicely as background tunes, and not blasting in your ears.
There are some minor little quirks that can sometimes bug you, like facing the wall and having to turn around, but the these do not touch the awesomeness of the experience.
I am loving this game right now!
It is A LOT of fun!
Highly recommended!
