I tried this game for 30 minutes and then I wanted to throw my balance board through the window. It's so unbelievably hard to control the board. I mean I thought my hand/foot/eye coordination was quite good, but this is impossible for me. I cannot steer this way! My body is twitching like a crazy breakdancer on that board. Many times I just fall off, and EVERY F*%&KING TIME this calibration screen comes up again. It's so annoying. In a way it's a good thing that this is almost as difficult as riding the real thing. I mean isn't that what simulation is all about? But even then this game is really making me ANGRY!!!!!
PS: Real Skateboarding has to be lots of easier to learn because you FEEL the board, you FEEL the asphalt, you FEEL the sense of speed and the curves your making. Basically you FEEL THE SENSE OF GRAVITY that comes with skateboarding.
In this game (obviously) I don't feel anything. I just see this little virtual guy that's constantly bumping into the same corner, not being able to turn no matter what he tries, and I think how the f^%^ I have to complete only the turorial.
To me this game is a waste of space, waste of time and a waste of a precious DVD+R (made by Sony)
