    The way the team constructed specific gameplay elements opens up the game design in an entirely different direction, breathing fresh life into one of the best action designs of the past half decade.

    From the main story mode to the arcade mode to the multiplay, there's not a weak spot to be found.
  3. The ability to step off the board and walk around is great. [Spring 2004, p.37]
  4. The game's adventure element requires you to run around with your board tucked under your arm - not nearly as fun as pulling off tricks. [Jan 2004, p.162]
