After being a person that played Tonyhawk since number 1, playing this game completely revolutionized the way i thought about skateboading games. its new and interesting controls and abilities like: Sponsorships, games, etc. made this game easy to love. In fact i liked it so much the next day i fixed my skateboard and rode around the nieghbourhood (even though it was pouring like a mother).
Instead of button mashing for combos and getting rediculas air, you use the thumb stick to ollie and whatever way flick the thumbstick is whatever trick you will do, for example: flick it up and to the left you'll make a kickflip, hold it for double, triple etc.
Ride around town, buy clothes and customize your character, earn money and sign on with sponsors. very new and refreshing and nothing like the TH series.
But of course like all games theres a down side. at times i felt that some objectives were literally impossible which inturn and over time degenerated my enthusiasm to play the game. like: get 20ft of air, double heelflip to grab trick to manual to grind. first of all any air at 15 ft and you fall off the board. 2nd good luck finding a good setup for that seeing how big the world is.
Overall worth a try and rent it out.
