This game was definitely worth the money, but it does have its own drawbacks.

Well I'll start with the new additions. The game has added Nail The Grab and Nail The Manual to last year's Nail The Trick. Now personally I found these additions addicting. I did the career story first just to get them all. Oh I should talk about the story. Well, story mode gives you three options. Rigger, Career Skater, and Hardcore Skater. By progressing through the storyline you get some SICK MOVES!!!! I personally loved the Aggro Kick, and the Skate Checking. The Aggro Kick was basically a boost of speed that you get from doing the Hardcore Skater mission. The Skate Checking you also get from Hardcore Skater missions but it's just a really fast RAM that you can send guys flying with. I had fun with that. Anyway the first story I did was the career mode. Which was great. I loved unlocking NTT, NTG, and NTM (Nail the Trick, Nail the Grab, and Nail the Manual). You can link all sorts of crazy tricks together with all three, and you get some serious points doing it. I also liked the Rigger portion of the game. You can totally change up the environments to put stuff wherever you want it. And you can get some crazy parts too, like a fountain........................... Also you get whats called a Skate Lounge which is basically your create-a-park. I messed with that endlessly. Unfortunately, the game does have one major setback. Although it has 3 stories. At the end they all sorta meld into one, and the story mode ends in a short amount of time. However this is not enough of a drawback to not get the game. The gameplay is great and I'm still playing it.
My advice, if you're in need of a skating game, get this game.
