    Wish it was the N64 version !!! I`m more a SKATE series fan, have 100% on all of them !

    mnn... spent a lot of time with this back at the day but IMHO I rather spend my time in any SKATE game than this "push a button to grind". It's not that it aged badly it's just it feels outdated in gameplay terms to me (yeah, it's a more arcade-ish approach)

    Is it wrong that I was really psyched for this but thought i'll try the demo 1st as always and because they don't even let you play the full 2 minute run I now don't feel like giving them my 1200 points
    Umm what? So the demo is absolutely pointless then? I'm just in the middle of downloading it and now I have read this! facepalm Excellent. Sounds great roll
    I like what I like and I don't what I don't.

    It was enough to get a feel for the game, personally speaking.

    If you expect to be able to play the demo off and on until there's a price drop though, it won't last you very long.
    But if the silence takes you, then I hope it takes me too.

    Well, I was really excited to get this game and planned on downloading this right after work. However something made me jump online and check out what people were saying about it before I did, and I'm glad I read some reviews first. Looks like I'll be waiting for a price drop on this one. Was really looking forward to playing this tonight : /

    Downloaded. I'm enjoying it, but I'm fully aware that I'm wearing rose-colored nostalgia lenses while playing.

    Can't wait to play, I never had the chance to play anything earlier than THPS4 and I'm glad I now have the chance.

    The need to re-achieve. Redemption at its best.

    I love this game & it's awesome that you can use your own avatar. smile

    Edit: Now they should remake Matt Hoffman Pro BMX.
    Bite off more than you can chew & then chew like hell.

    Don't know how I feel about it yet. Most of the original characters aren't present. Wish I could play as Rune Glifberg among other original characters. Looks like I'll be using my Avatar. Level selection isn't very large. Almost want to snag my N64 from my parents to play the original versions.

    Yeah, I understand this notion. It's totally an awesome wave of nostalgia. I'm going to have to put some songs on my hard drive though because I'm already sick of the ones they have on there, and the new songs are all terrible.

    Yes you have 80 seconds or so not the full 2 min time limit which that maps have, but you can play it over again. If they didn't do it like this then some people would have been satisfied with the 1 trial map and full 2 min experiance and not buy the game.

    Just as I feared, looks great but plays horrible. It's the Mortal Kombat 4 syndrome :(

    No Split-Screen 2 Player? What the hell?
    That's one downside and they rather put online play instead...
    Well, that's not nearly as much fun and quite the kick in the balls.

    No deal.

    Thoroughly enjoying this game, but I do have my gripes.... The new songs on the soundtrack kinda suck, where's my Ozomatli and Del the Funky Homosapien? Also, not enough skaters from the classic rosters, no sign of Geoff Rowley, Bob Burnquist, Chad Muska et al. However, the core mechanics are definitely still there (for better or worse,) so much nostalgia for me, and there's always Public Enemy!
    Tell 'em Steve-Dave!

    They should make Mr. Bob Dobalina a playable character in this game! His special move could be "The Fraudulent"

    I felt the same way. I couldnt believe they wouldnt even give you 2 minutes. Very unappealing, that helped me make a decision. I can wait till its cheaper. Plus I've been wanting to start The Walking Dead episodes.
    Same here, very disappointed by the 90 second time limit. I bought points intending for it to be a day one purchase, now I'm waiting for it to come down to 800.
