5.0 out of 5 stars GREATEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!, December 31, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Backyard Skateboarding (CD-ROM)

This game is so awesome I could play it all day if my mom would let me.You can actually play with Andy Macdonald as a kid.Most of the kids(skaters)have very good rankings.Here is how I rate the kids(skaters). Achmed Khan:Not the best Annie Frazier:OK Jocinda Smith: Great Andy Macdonald:The Best Kiesha Philips:Good Reese Worthington:Ok Dmitri Petrovitch:Good Ricky Johnson:Ok Pete Wheeler:Pretty good Dante Robinson:ok In this game you have to to win the ultimate skatepark.Along the way every time you beat a boss challenge that kid joines your skate team.There are three levels with boss's that you can have join your team. There are 4 levels total.Another good thing about this game is that the controls are easy to memorize.I would not get this game for a child that is under the age of 7.This is a game that I would defineately recommend. P.S.Pushing the arrow keys and the stunt buttons allows you to do incredible stunts.
