80Its a great snack until the Hawk strikes back. Pick it up now and youll be done with it by the weekend.
-
Once you master the controls, you'll love it. [Oct 2001, p.135]
-
Unless you have an extreme fascination with the X Games or worship the switch-stance prodigy Bob Burnquist, you should save your $50 and wait for Mr. Hawk's forthcoming 128-bit appearance.
-
70It's not quite the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" equal but still worthy of your summertime void.
-
70Since they opt for realism at the expense of fun, you just cant pull off those sick, death-defying feats you can in other games.
-
You havent experienced big air until youve tried this pup. No joke, on the vert ramps you literally float for 2-3 seconds a pop. [Sept 2001, p.141]

58This one just flat out stinks.
-
58I cant say I didnt have oodles of fun with X Games; it just didnt last too long. Boredom grew on me after a few runs through, and shamefully wouldnt have with a few more features thrown in along with better visuals.
-
52Poor framerate, small cast and moves, and poor replayability among other issues. "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" sells millions for a reason -- this just isn't it.
-
50When will ESPN learn the difference between a game worth endorsing and one thats utter garbage? Not soon enough, apparently.
-
A couple of the game's levels show some interesting design (the deck of a cruise ship and a hellishly unrealistic portrayal of New York as a post-apocalyptic wasteland), but the lack of real innovation in the game severely limits its lifespan.
-
49The interface and presentation elements are nice to look at, but when that's the biggest thing your game has going for it, you are in real trouble.
-
44A pretty weak game. With poor control, counterintuitive level design, and drab graphics, X Games Skateboarding is best suited for skateboarding fans looking for a quick fix in the form of a rental.
-
Unfortunately, there really isn't much more meat on the bones here. No create-a-skater, no skater statistics to flesh out or tweak, not even a bunch of new outfits or anything.
-
42Fails in the most basic concept, which would be to bring something new to the table. Its just another washed up "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" clone.
