This is no doubt my favorite game now, The music is lacking so I just put mine on and the walking controls need patching but besides that it is awesome. The best new addition is being able to control your bails. my favorite spot is "the top of the E" that can give youup to 75000 bail points if you do it perfectly. In this instead of the X games they Have the Etnies GvR (goofy stance vs. Regular) and the San Vana Slamma which is a room with 5 megaramps which is sooooooooo much fun but hard the first time. I really reccomend this to any fan of the first game, although this is great nothing willl make you not want to go back to the old game. The most realistic update is that the cops will chase you off their post instead of just staying at their post. the game is somewhat short but you can still have fun just skating around after finding cool lines and uploading them to skatereel.com especially with the new tripod camera which allows you to..place a tripod! the face editor is still lacking and the city has taken a drastic change, I, personally, reccomend playing the first game before so you can go, hey! I remember this place! which is what I like to do.
