Another free-roaming skate action courtesy of top skater (or should that be sk8er?) Tony Hawk. This, obviously, is both rad and gnarly. On top of all the standard tricks and olleys and other mad shit, there's a sort of a plot here, where you build your career as a pro skater from the streets up by doing various missions, jobs etc.

You've got a massive city to skate around and interact with, populated by skaters, metallers and hair braiders, A bit like Exeter. A totally free-range of 'sick' stunts and 'gnarly' tricks can be perfected in slo-mo bullet-time. Which is useful, because we can't do this sort of thing unless the board is stuck to our feet.
