Typically fantastic level design and the most personally nostalgic soundtrack of any of these, but the easy, repetitive goals and extremely horrendous non-skateboarding mechanics make the supposed evolution of this franchise an overall miss for me. Nothing added besides the acid drop does anything but make this a worse game than its predecessor, the peak of a series that thought it needed to change. Also one time while my parents were getting divorced I saw a guy wallride irl and I said "whoa insane wallride" and my dad said "huh the boy knows a bit about skateboarding eh" and my mom said "yeah because all he does is play Tony Hawk all day" which was a dig at his non-involvement in our lives because he'd already moved out.......but today I quit my job with no notice and finished this game again lol, mom had me pegged in 2004
