The way the game lets you control the board is second to none. I really enjoy that. But the maps are not big enough. Each map may have a rail or 2 that is fun but that's it. A bank here and there. I think bigger maps would really make this game worth the dough. But in saying that it is by far the most realistic skateboarding game ever made . If you enjoy skateboarding you will enjoy this game. But may get bored of it quickly. If you don't enjoy actual skateboarding I would hold off on spending the money .
