Still, It really disappointed me. I'm not apicky gamer, throw me a clone of THUG 2 with new levels Tricks and Skaters with pretty much the sam plot and I would Hail it. We could call it THUG 3: World Oblitheration Tour, or maybe: THUG 3: We stuck with a winning formula Tour. If I wanted 'realistic' skateboarding, I'd learn how to pop an Ollie myself, If I wanted to Spine over a helicopter, or Bring Down Soviet Russia with a Kickflip, I'd play a THUG Game. The Nial the Trick thing is good, the first seven hundred and six times you try it, then the 8 points of motion that the board can take (16 if you count that you can do them when the board is upside down) SHABA Games, If you're reading this Some things only work when you do them Next Gen, Stop trying to emulate them on the PS2, it just doesn't work. Vicarious Visions, Take note, FOR THE PSP UK RELEASE, IN MARCH, WORK YOUR ASSES OFF and don't, I repeat DON'T do what SHABA did, GIVE ME REPLAY VALUE, AND DON'T MAKE PLAYING THE GAME AS FUN A CHORE. That's the way I feel about the Matter, I kow several people disagree, and I respect their decisions, but seriously, the version of the Game I got was crap, I could choose bettween 3 Different types of Create a Skater, A Kid with a Beachball for a Head, An Emo and a Vietnam War veteran who's still looking for 'Charlie', If you played the PS2 version, you'll know what I'm saying. And None of these 'uber cul' buzz characters had any depth. And besides that, One of the Taglines I heard for the Game is 'Bringing Reality Back to Boarding' There's a mission that involves Spine-ing over 2 Buildings, a Pizza Slice an Over-size Board and into a Coffee Cup -That's some fudged up reality right there! Anyway, there was a mission I had to try 700> times to acheive on Sick level because of some of the 'tweaked' controls, so, I guess you could say I hated the Game, but that's pretty unfair to say, Because It does have its merits.
