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.
