even compared to skate 3 and thug2/thaw , this is the best skateboarding game imo. the career mode is insanely fun. i beat the whole thing on hard mode (in the options) it was very very hard

a little tough to navigate through without a translation, but a glorious treat nonetheless.

took me about 300+ hours and 2-3 months to finally beat this damn game. it's actually pretty short if you're experienced (this is the first mystery dungeon game i've completed) but the final dungeon had me stuck for 90% of the playthrough. super hard but a real masterpiece which sadly is overlooked by the mainstream 'roguelite' audience
