The perfect Skateboarding playground.
This game, everything about it, is completely and utterly nostalgic to me.
Being a huge fan of skateboarding games (since I can’t do it in real life myself), no other game made me feel quite this way before.
The extreme freedom, the lively and colorful open world, the character customization, the fun characters and challenging activities, all of this, topped perfectly by THE skateboarding controls.
There’ll be no better Skateboarding controls ever again, it’s like the Halo/COD formula that perfected FPS playing on console, these controls are so intuitive, so responsive, and so well implemented, that borders between the realm of simulation and arcade fun, mostly leaning towards simulation, they’re so good, and so much fun to play around with in the rest of this lush package of extreme fun.
While of course the game has no major, emotional story for its campaign, it absolutely reaches legendary status on its fun factor alone, and this game to me, is the absolute best implementation of what the skate franchise has to offer.
Who would’ve thought… one of the entries for the “sequels better than the original” list, would be a skateboarding game…
