bought it for the sexbox earlier and its not bad. Different kettle of fish to the tony hawk games. The controls are abit trickier to get the hang of - they're all controlled via analogue so its not just a case of button bashing. Apparently its good online but i'll get abit more practice before dealing with the americans

I read that it's a skateboarding game for actual skateboarders, rather than the unrealistic Tony Hawks type game
Demo was alright, took some getting used to though!

I havent really, but I would guess that it is nothing like hitting 'X' 'O' 'X' on a joypad to do a flip or something.

It's physics are a lot more realistic to real skateboarding than TH. On skate you dont press a button to grind, you have to jump onto the rail or ledge, by doing a very similar movement with the joypad as you would on a proper board.

to do an olly you have to move the analog stick down, then flick it up, similar how you'd move your feet in reality

because the weight distribution to do an ollie would be back, kicking down then flicking upwards with your other foot. kinda like that anyway, hard to explain..
so down then up on the analog stick is pretty much that...

no it isnt. Anything using your fingers is nothing like it, its just another way to do it without being anything like the real thing.

no I just dont understand how anyone can say its more realistic over another game, when really neither of them are realistic at all.
