You think Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
games are the best extreme sports game there is. Well
you have thought wrong. Aggressive skating is making its way into the gaming
community in a large way. Aggressive Inline for the Playstation 2 has
such a smart engine to enlarge it's levels and gameplay three times of that
than any other aggressive sports game out there.
It features some new elements into the aggressive sports games, such as The
Juice Meter. Don't worry about running out of time in career mode any more
because it takes the time limit away and makes it so you can do more tricks
and collect icons to gain juice to play longer. The game also introduces the
"Action" button - just go to a person standing in the environment willing to
give you a challenge and hit it to speak to them. This game will be the starting
path for more aggressive inline games to make their way in the gaming community.
The graphics, sounds and playability on this game is very suprising for a
"Starting" game in its type. Remember in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1, these
aspects were horrible as you look back on it, but now the skateboarding genre
has come a long way. As one of the first inline skating games in its genre, it
is very good. The graphics are sharp and up to date, maybe beyond what is
capable now. The sound is very clear and good. The playability of this game
will keep you coming back for more.
Aggressive Inline is an overall "Ultimate" game.
