Skateboarding games go back to the arcade with a game called 720, and more recently Tony Hawk. If you're looking for a game that plays as well as the first two Hawk games did back in the day, this is it. The controls are mapped to the analog stick in order to make the skating experience feel new again. The graphics look amazing, even on your grandma's old SDTV. You will see beautiful sun reflections on every object that would have it in real life. The music fits the mood perfectly, but I reccomend using custom soundtracks as well. The sounds of your skater moving, and the hustle and bustle of the city are as real as they can get. The real fun lies online. Gather some friends on your list, and play however you want. Get this game if you love skating games or real skating even the slightest bit. It's better than even the first two Tony Hawk games, which in my opinion are the runners up for the crown.
