The Bottom Line:

"Just plain fun"

My first impressions were negative. I kept on wiping out and didn't do too well. But as I got better at it, it grew on me, and I realized that I was playing the best racing game I've ever played. The control is great. Nothing bad about whatsoever except that the boost and grab buttons are the same, meaning that you might fall over accidentally. The design is very good. You can ride to any event yourself (like Burnout Paradise) or you can just choose them in a menu.

The game is easy because if you don't get first place at the last second, you can just restart as much as you like. You can upgrade your player to be very good, and it is cool because you can go from bad to amazing. But then the races get super easy and you could get 1st place on any races without even thinking. What elongates that game is the trick levels, where you try to get as many tricks as possible.

There are regular tricks, Uber tricks (which you remove your self partially from the board), a second tier of uber tricks (where you completely remove the board from you feet), and Super ubers. Super ubers are crazy. You can throw your board like a Frisbee and it comes back, you can spin it above your heard, and there are other things as well.

There are 5 to 7 race tracks, and most of the are very good. There are shortcuts and railings you can grind for a long time. They get boring after a while, however. The characters to choose from are varied, but when they talk to other players, they sound stuck up. There is two-player multiplayer, and it is alright. The screen are squished so it seems disorienting. It isn't the best splitscreen.

Overall, this is a very good game that you have to play!
