2 Xtreme

"BLARFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Uh...this game is kinda bad. Let's take you through the process of playing this game cheap attempt to cash in on extreme sports.

1.Rent the game, since you read this review first.
2.Turn on the game
3.See the cool opening intro.
4.Work with the nicely done interface.
5.Start playing.
6.Think the game is pretty cool at first.
7.Attempt to bust out a trick.
8.Fail miserably.
9.Still like the game.
10.See how boring and repetitive this game is.
11.Take it back to the rental place.
12.Write a trashy review on GameFaqs.

That's the process. And now the categories.

Graphics-3/10
-------------
Where the hell are all the good graphics? Instead we get crappy first-genertion- ish graphics that look very staticky. Well, at least it moves fast.

Sound and Music-7/10
--------------------
Good music, good sounds. The music is pretty cool (but what else do you expect from a boarding game?) The sounds are also good because the announcer actually isn't annoying (bout time) and the grunts are pretty good.

Gameplay-0/10
-------------
Snowboarding, rollerblading, skateboarding, and biking sounds like 4 games in one, huh? Then someone tell me why they all feel exactly the same? Usually tracks being long is a good thing, right? Wrong. Since this game is boring and repetitive, getting through the tracks is painful on you. Not to mention you have to avoid obstacles thrown in seemingly just to annoy you. I could relate this game to Scanners (the cheesy sci-fi movie) simply because it could use the same quote as the movie.

10 seconds-the pain starts.
15 seconds-you can't breathe
20 seconds-you explode.

Trash, rent, or buy?
--------------------
Trash.
