    Underneath a 'kiddy' looking facade lurks a game of amazing depth.

    It's a thumbs-up for the tots, but nobody in their teens or up would choose this over "Tony Hawk" or "Aggressive Inline." [Nov 2002, p.134]

    A fairly decent "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" clone, putting a different face on a familiar game.

    With a total of seven playable characters, ten scooters and eight levels, there's enough shredding for the long haul. [Nov 2002, p.92]

    For the most part, the control handles well, and some of the level design is fairly decent, but the goals aren't unique or challenging enough to really bring any excitement into the game.

    The presentation and effort are very respectable. The music is some of the best ever, but the gameplay is slow and highly un-original and sometimes downright stupid.
