Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is a lot more unhinged in theory compared to other traditional sports, and I'm glad Disney themselves tried out a concept like this.

The result is a game that's loads of fun. It's very Tony Hawk-inspired, and rightfully so, as that game series unanimously defined the genre as a whole. The stages are locales from the movies with themed objects all turned into half-pipes and guardrails. Meanwhile, the skaters themselves trade in ordinary skateboards for more fitting contraptions, like Tarzan's wooden plank or Buzz' rocket pad.

It's obvious the developers put a lot of love and care, and the effort shows. Instead of just a skating game with a haphazard Disney label, it's fortunately a skating game that comes in a full-on Disney flavor.

This has aged much, much better than I thought it would, after having not touched it for at least a decade.
Too bad it has one of the most obnoxious save prompts that I've ever seen.

it's thps4 with a disney coat of paint; it's serviceable and fine for the most part. the playlist sucks and is way too short but it's a kid's game so it's a little understandable that they cheaped out on it. some of the levels are ass to navigate (graveyard and the jungle portion of human camp) but the rest are good. it's a decent timekiller if you're just looking for something to dick around in and you're already familiar with thps. it's somewhat shameless in how little it brings to the table mechanically but i do get the vibe that the people who worked on this game did care and had some amount of passion for both the disney IPs and skateboarding games in general.

best song on the playlist is "sell out" by reel big fish, do not FUCK with me on this

Tony Hawk for kids, it's the same game with Disney characters and simpler objectives in each map. It has a shockingly good 2000s pop soundtrack, a small but fun hub world to skate in as the custom character, and a really focused scope compared to most Disney game projects. It's a nice time!
