This game is incredible. The story, the animations and graphics, the gameplay, the acting... I could go on. The only issue I had with it is there was a little bit too much world building through reading notes. It sometimes felt if you wanted to experience the full story you had to stop your progression through the game every few steps so you can stop and read a note

This game is nowhere near completed. It's extremely buggy, missing many basic features, graphics, animations, and lighting are early PS3 era. UI is slow and unresponsive, you often can't tell if the game is just lagging or about to crash your entire system. The only game mode available is free skate, but it doesn't even let you free skate. If you bail, you are reset to the spawn point, not where you bailed. There are challenges to complete, such as flips and grinds, but only if you skate regular. If you skate goofy you will have to relearn the controls backwards. There's no progression in the game, no reason to continue playing. You can't even skip songs or change the playlist, you have to listen to the same song in the same order every time. The control scheme is the only slight positive about this title, but even it is bugged. You pull down on a stick to ready an ollie and release to pop. But if you move the stick slightly after pulling it down it often releases the ollie and makes you bail, and resets you back to the spawn point. It is supposed to be a skating simulator, but if you come across a set of stairs you cant even get off the board and run up them, you have to morph into a location pin and fly up the stairs. Can't ever remember doing that when I used to skate... Don't buy this game. I honestly feel like I have been scammed.
