4.0 out of 5 stars great game October 28, 2010

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

OK- I just got this game & I've only played it a few times so far. But, the graphics are great, the soundtrack is catchy. The controls are easy to pick up, similar to "Skate It" (uses both the nunchuk & remote)-flick it type controls. The only drawback that I've found so far is that sometimes you can't find the challenges. There's an in-game map, but challenges don't unlock until you've done so many tasks of a certain type. If you like skateboarding games (or are even a fan of sports games), this one's a fun game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, but don't bother with balance board February 22, 2011

The game is fun, no doubt. The Wiimote/nunchuk controls are familiar, but I bought this game because it said it was balance board compatible and I'm an ace at the Wii Fit skateboarding. Well.. I was bummed. You still have to use the Wiimote and nunchuk as well as the balance board, and all you can do with the balance board is jump. You can't use it for anything else like steering or accelerating. All of this is still done with the remote. What a waste!!!!! So much potential, but the programmers got lazy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing -- Does not use balance board February 24, 2011

By Hal Cheng

Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   

I bought this game because I really enjoyed Shaun White's World Stage (Snowboarding). Unfortunately, this game only allows the balance board to be used to a limited degree, forcing the player to use an awkward combination of balance board and nunchuks. So, it's not very enjoyable.
