This exciting game by Tony Hawk came as a surprise because after reading so many bad reviews about connection problems, we were quite concerned about the space in our living room for playing the game. However, as the game has come down in price, we wanted to try it out. After initial problems and a bit of furniture movement, it connected and has stayed connected so far, using far less distance as stated on the instructions. The game itself is great because it has so many realistic tricks and scenarios, from street to rooftops to competition skateparks; there is something for everyone. It also has snowboarding as an additional feature and players can become famous male and female stars as well as mii characters. The board can be quite tricky to use to start with but with practice it soon gets better, just like a real learning curve on a skateboard. All around this game is very fascinating and will keep skatefans hooked for some time.
