Every bit the victor in the battle between this and Tony Hawk's Project 8 for best of the final two Neversoft entries, but also every bit as tepid and annoying an experience. At least the characters don't look entirely like battered Nickelodeon Gak in this one, but it's still washed of color and - similarly - in their (at the time) increasing transition into uncanny valley realism because of EA's Skate the levels are resoundingly meh. At this point they were just tacking on semi-okay features and a sea of pointless additional moves instead of enhancing what was already a successful formula they had since THAW and THUG2. No one thinks the aggro kick is fun. No one. And again, come on, no trophy patch? Nirvana on the soundtrack and Judy Nails as a secret skater were goated moves though.
