    For gamers who don't enjoy the realism from EA's Skate, Shaun White Skateboarding delivers an enjoyable break from reality. However, hardcore fans of the genre may not find their fix here. Still, Shaun White Skateboarding adds its own unique twist as well as much needed innovation to the skateboarding genre.

    In skating terms, this game's success is more than just dropping in on a vert ramp for the first time without eating it face-first. Shaun White Skateboarding has some tricks in its back pocket, and I look forward to it expanding its arsenal in the future.

    A different take on the skating world: wide exploration and customization of the environment make this game interesting if you're looking for something different from the usual grinds.

    Plain and simple awesomeness!What is it with reviewers and people dogging this game.It is very different then skate and Tony hawk games makingPlain and simple awesomeness!What is it with reviewers and people dogging this game.It is very different then skate and Tony hawk games making it a very cool alternative.This has replay value through the roof!The controls are more like Skate then like Tony hawk project 8 and proving ground.It's got the Skate feel but the game feel of neither one.I honestly don't like his other title,"Shaun White Snowboarding".My favorite is Amped 2 then SSX 3, to this day.Anyway,the graphics could have been much better and the sound is just sub par.But the idea,the concept,the game play,the entertainment factor.We say"oh,I wish there was something different",well here it is so quit complaining.This game is a game that stands on it's own and one that will be talked about for years to come.It's just the fanboys that are the one's that don't see past there own agenda.For being a professional snowboarder and skateboarder the fact that Ubisoft backs it and for good reason.It's brilliant in it's own way and a true gem, a true way to just kick back,play something different and enjoy the heck out of a super cool title!I'm giving this title a 8.9 for the lack of graphics that could of been awesome especially in 2010,and the sound is a little bit lacking,but besides that all I can say is WOW!… Full Review »
