By Fated_Eclipse | Review Date:
Welcome to skating as Tony Hawk or an assortment of other skaters...your objective? Well, you have lots of jobs, you are placed in an open ended level in which you must complete as many objectives as possible. You are given 2 minutes, and you must complete as many of the level goals as possible (once beaten, you don't have to do them again, even after time has expired).
Under your belt are several tricks that are performed by various buttons, usually pressed in combination. Your tricks involve flipping the board, grabbing the board, spins, and then special tricks, which can only be used if your special meter is full. To fill your special meter, just succesfully perform tricks. The more the trick is worth, the more your special meter will go up. Special tricks are essential to get high scores, and in the later levels your challenges tell you to score 500,000 plus points.
You can also customize your board. You can choose the deck, griptape, wheels, and the color of all of the above. Also you can tune such things as your turning.
Also, you will gain stat points when you complete certain objectives, and these allow you to improve your skaters skills, so that you can get more air, grind better, and other such things.
A good game, worth playing if you can.
