This game is incredible, very addicting, and incredibly entertaining. I can understand some of the poor reviews, but I would be willing to bet that many of the people that gave it a poor review didnt play for longer than an hour or so. The game becomes much more fun once you learn to play well and are able to use new boards, thus letting you do insane tricks, special moves, grinds, all the elements of THPS we love. There are about 40 or so tracks, in about 9-10 major locations, ranging from tibet, to chicago, to the alps., and about 15 or so boards per person.
Bottom Line: Multiplayer leaves something to be desired, Career is incredible. Tons of great songs to skate to as well. Do yourself a favor and at least rent this
