GAMEPLAY
Skating is fun, but dangerous. This video game takes all the danger and glory out of skating, leaving only the fun. I think it was the Playstation version that had blood come out of the skaters as they fell, and it got a T rating for that. Of course, everyone knows that blood is directly proportional to fun. Of course, with Primus, you're bound to have a good time.
It really really really sucks when you're trying to something really really cool, and then you fuck up and fall and lose all your special and the judges hate you and they make you cry because they're all bastards. That happened to me a lot. It adds frustration to the game. In a way, that makes it more realistic, because skating can be frustrating. It ain't all fun and games out there.
DESIGN
This game is really fun because you put against a clock to do really cool stuff without messing up too much. It's a good design, because the cooler the stuff that's being done, the more potential there is to mess up. So you have to push yourself while knowing your limits at the same time. Also, I like how some of the levels are designed, like the one that's all down hill, and you have to go off a jump and get really high and grind for like 10 minutes to collect something. As I mentioned before, this game has realistic elements of frustration and difficultly, while still being ridiculous at the same time. Also, I liked the game designer's choice to include Primus, it really adds to the gameplaying experience.
