I've been skating most of my life, this is by far the best skate game when it comes down to it. The only problem I have is instead of passing the controller around for a picked song among other skaters on a rainy day when we couldn't actually go out and skateboard, I'm 31 now and those dudes aren't there to see the wicked line non of us could ever do. (Like in the skate 3 days). If you want to mindlessly try to hit that one trick you could never or never had the balls to try, pick this game up. All in all, I wish they would put in some type of storyline to it.
