A solid skateboarding game. You are in Skate City where there are four parks, Half-Pipe, Downhill, Slolom, and Ramp. You earn points and money for performing tricks inside the parks and in the city itself. Upgrades to your skateboard can be purchased. All in all the game is entertaining but lacks replay value after you master the technique.

Please do not waste your hard earned money on this crap! The graphics are horrid looking sort of like the old Spy Hunter game,but worse,it is also VERY hard and frustrating trying to pull off tricks it took me an hour just to try and do one! I finally got so fed up with the game that I threw it away,waste of money!

The race tracks and the half pipe and all the skate parks are immpossible. I am lucky if i get off one trick. Steering the little guy is a tuff job too. He just goes around in circles. The graphics are nothing special. The plot to the game is stupid, getting money is VERY hard, and finding good stores are tuff. If you are about to buy this game, tony hawk skateboarding is 20x better....think twice before making the mistake i made!
