Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Skate like a pro, Disney style! Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure is the first skateboarding game that allows you to skate through the universes of Disney/Pixar's Toy Story, Disney's The Lion King and Disney's Tarzan. You can create your own skater or play as your favorite Disney characters, such as Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story, Simba and Rafiki from The Lion King, and Young Tarzan and Terk from Tarzan. You'll get to play through a skating 'career' and perfect your skateboarding skills along the way!

Disney locations: enter the worlds of Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2, Disney's The Lion King and Disney's TarzanTM, as you skate and solve puzzles in all the exciting places you've seen in the movies: Pride Rock, TarzanTM's Treehouse, Pizza Planet, and more!

Create-A-Skater: design your own game character and learn to skate like a pro. The Create-A-Skater can skate throughout a real world hub area where he or she can interact with real world elements, such as stores, people, automobiles and more! Then, as your character's imagination takes over, he or she will be magically transported in the colorful worlds of Toy Story, The Lion King and TarzanTM for out-of-this world skating adventures!

Disney characters: for the first time ever, skate as 12 different characters from Disney and Disney/Pixar's Toy Story 2, Disney's The Lion King and Disney's TarzanTM, such as Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Simba, Pumba & Timon, and Young TarzanTM. Plus, 15 non-playable Disney and Disney/Pixar friends and foes will interact with you throughout your adventure.

Pro moves: skate like the best, incorporating sweet tricks like ollies, rail grinds, spins and other expert balance moves. Try your stuff on skateboards, Victorian mirrors, frying pans and other cool foot rides. Perform your cool skate moves on any of the surfaces in each world, such as grinding on dominoes in Andy's Room, spinning your board as you jump off trees in the jungle from TarzanTM, and ollieing over bones in the Elephant Graveyard from The Lion King.

Multiple modes: practice tricks and explore levels in Free Skate Mode, complete goals against the clock in Adventure Mode, and compete against friends in split-screen Two Player Mode. Multiple control modes make it fun for everyone.

This review is from: Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure (Video Game)

Okay this is a pretty good game, most appropriate for a young crowd with its Disney themes and controls seem a little bit easy, I suppose compared to normal Tony Hawk. I'm finding the two player games to be extreeeemely fun: King of the hill is hilarious as your opponent tries to catch you once you have possession of the "star" thing. It think because some of the levels are pretty wild shapes it can be tough to catch the "star" holder. Try and and catch me you poor sucker hahahah!

I also found that after I turned the music OFF (the songs weren't my favorites :P ) there were some cool ambient level sounds to be heard and the level environments felt more alive/atmospheric?

5.0 out of 5 stars It will change the way you think about Disney Games, September 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure (Video Game)

After playing this game for an hour straight, completely unaware that any time has gone by, lost in the pure thrill and vivid scenery of this masterpiece, one remembers something a little odd: this is a Disney game.

Disney's Extreme Skate will change the way people think about Disney games. A witty script with unrelentingly talented voice work accompanies the extreme - for lack of a better word - gameplay. As opposed to what some other reviews state, the list of playable characters are those from the films The Lion King, Tarzan, and Toy Story 2, with modern customizable characters.

This game is PERFECT for kids, teenagers, and even adults will appreciate it.

Bottom Line: It will change the way you think about Disney games, and even skating games. Thrilling. Wonderful.
