I have never been into skateboarding games, which is why I took a risk getting this. It's not skateboarding however, it's hoverboarding, which seems to add a whole new lease of gameplay.
There are loads of modes, single and multiplayer. I haven't started the actual story mode yet (hopefully more impressive than Smackdown 3's) and the controls are easy and effective. There are massive amounts of tricks, and of course you can grind, grab the board, and swing round objects like lamp-posts.
The environments are lovely, with loads of places to jump and grind, and lots of things going on in the background, with cars, lorries and people.
So overall it's looking good. I still haven't tried the main part of the game, so I'll give another verdict later on. I would like to hear anyone else's views on the game.
PS- Who saw the World Cup draw??

> Who saw the World Cup draw??
I was woken up by my roommate at 7 in the morning and he told me the group that england had been put in. Only when I was more sober did it sink in what a nasty group it is.
> Would you recommend buying it then Ant?
Yes, I would.
Started Story mode today, and it's very original and a lot of fun. You have to take out guardd and billboards doing tricks, you have to go up to roofs, use bridges, and on some you might have to swing on 3 or 4 lamp-posts before you get to te place you want to go. High octane action, and I'm loving every minute of it.
> Poor England, Argentina and Sweden, Very little chance :(
If we are as good as everyone reckons, we should be able to qualify. At least it means if we do qualify, we won't meet Argentina again, unless both teams get to the final.
but overall a good game, with all the extras and different moves for all the characters.
some bits too hard, some bits too easy.
ah, well. Spyhunter should come on monday (yay!)
then i'll get jak and daxter for X-mas.
ah, bliss!
