Tony Hawks Skateboarding has flourished over the years on other platforms, and Crave have now chosen the Dreamcast to benefit from the maturity of this game. Based around a couple of skateboarding dudes, the game's goal is to travel through a number of skate parks collecting tapes. These tapes, which are obtained by performing tricks, smashing boxes, collecting letters and basically busting up some moves, allow you to travel to the next level. The more you collect the further you can go. Put this together with a great punk-like soundtrack and what you have is a game that you'll be playing until you've worn the knees off your jeans. The game also offers the usual options that you come to expect, such as free play and multiplayer, with the multiplayer options injecting a breath of fresh air in the form of graffiti, horse and the standard hi-score duel. Graffiti requires the players to "tag" obstacles with their assigned colour by performing tricks on them. The obstacles can be stolen back by the other player performing a better trick on the same obstacle. At the end of the two-minute run, whoever has the most tagged obstacles wins. Horse on the other hand involves the performing of tricks, with the loser of each round gaining a letter, until someone spells out Horse. This is one of those games that is well suited to every kind of player. The levels are multi-layered enough for you to play them over and over, but not get bored, while the two player option brings another interesting element to the overall package. --
