This game is great.
Gameplay: I LOVE how they made this game look and feel. The controls are EXCELENT due to the fact that doing the trick you actually wanted to do can be challenging. The memories this game brought back was great. I used to watch a bunch of skate videos and loved listening to the music on the skate videos like black sabbath, Iron maiden, the who, queen, the list goes on and on. Actually skating as a child was what really got me into music as well. So popping on those old skating tunes I used hear during my favorite skate videos while playing this game just hit me like a ton of bricks with pure awesomeness and a rush of good ol' memories. ****ing ****!!! I'm sorry, I won't frolic down memory lane anymore. Aw screw it. I'll just keep this as short and sweet as possible. Me being a former skateboarder (went out and bought a skateboard again though because of this game) totally appreciate this game for what it is. And I'm VERY sure anyone who has EVER skated before will appreciate this game as well. I hear and see people knock this because it's hard and you have to keep re-trying tricks. BOO HOO! You have to do that in real life and real life isn't easy in the beginning either!!! I strongly suggest everyone to at least play this game. I appreciate what Tony Hawk games have done for me and skateboarding games in general very much, but I have to say I'm more of a Skate fan now than Tony Hawk. Either way I'm glad something like this came out because to me Tony Hawk started going a bit downhill after 3 And I was starting to get a little tired and craved something new. EA, as much as I don't like you very much, and to the developers thank you for this game.
The only complaints I have for this game are the glitches (which aren't always bad and can be entertaining) and lack of Full world free skate in multiplayer (REAAAALY wanted this).
Bottom Line:
Gameplay: is Great
Music: I use my own so great to me (thank you 360)
Sound: Sounds great and very real
All around great game. 9.0 EASY
