Just picked up Tony Hawks American Sk8land.
It took me a while to get back into TH mode for this one, but its finally clicked again. The first Vicarious Visions Tony Hawk for GBA was actually my first GBA game, so I love the "legacy camera" GBA tribute -- horrible to play with, but great to look at. The story sucks balls, but working towards building the skatepark is a nice idea, the voicework and music has also really impressed me. I just prefer to be set loose in a level free to achieve the targets/goals as I please (woohoo for classic mode then!)
The decal editors for drawing on your board, or doing grafitti templates absolutely beats the pants off of what Mario Kart offers, and I was completely happy with MK. Proper line/box tools are welcome, and the button that allows you to draw with two colours (inner/outline) really gives it a cool grafitti look. There's some real nice ones people are uploading at - http://www.american-sk8land.com/custom_data/ too. Why oh why doesn't Mario Kart's site have something like this? The scoreboards are pretty neat, but I already know I can't be half the dweeb some of those fecks high on that board are... oh well.
Its a shame this is only 2 player online given that they allow you to form/join "sk8 crews". It'd be cool to actually face off in a bigger game doing tricks against rival gangs. Still, 2 player is what I expected pretty much. I know everybody is missing the crazy horse / grafitti modes, but I know I'm still liking the game. So is anybody else?
Does GAF have its own "sk8 crew" yet? Or are we above that?
