    Does bring something new to the genre - boss battles that test your trick skills like no other skateboarding game. [Jan 2003, p.172]
  2. It tries to offer some humor and a little bit of fantasy to an otherwise bland game. But it suffers from a lack of difficulty and a few control and glitch issues.

    You may want to give it a rental if you want to see Solid Snake on GameCube, but otherwise stick to the superior extreme sports offerings that are out there.

    The bottom line on this game is that it makes a great appetizer but you'll want "Tony 4" or "Aggressive Inline" for the main course.

    The fact that you have to hold down the manual button to keep it going is simply preposterous; it's nearly impossible to transition to a grind or another trick. [Dec 2002, p.90]

Really the biggestEvolution Skateboarding in my option is a flawed masterpiece of a game that i believe deserves more love then it gets. Really the biggest problem with the game is how heavy the physics are and how that can put some people off {especially if your more a fan of tony hawks more arcadey physics}. however once you get used to the controls the game becomes a blast to play. plus the fact that the game has boss fights is just the icing on the cake.

    This is a good skating game.
    I think the kickflips are cool and the collectibles are a fun idea :)

Los controles son muyFue el primer videojuego de skateboarding que probé en mi vida; fue tan malo que no volví a jugar a ninguno más. Los controles son muy imprecisos, los modos de juego son aburridos, y el único provecho que se le puede sacar es provocar glitches y bugs para echarse unas risas con unos amigos. Expand
