i didn't look through any reviews for it, but anyone giving it bad reviews is a retard. the wide-open map is great (you can skate through the ENTIRE game without a loading screen). the levels are each unique and fun, the challenges are fun and difficult enough to make it fun but not too difficult to make it impossible (although a handful are really really hard without having an infinite balance cheat or something, which i don't know if they have or not). the trick setup is great, the flatland tricks that were added are awesome, the slow-mo tricks are dope, the slow-mo "special" thing is great to rack up some amazing combos. i really don't have any complaints about the game. maybe some more clothes and stuff to customize your character with, but that's really nit-picking (since they have a good amount in there already).
