This game is so awesome it's hard to describe it in words. With the huge levels great gameplay and insane soundtrack it is a must buy for anyone who has played any extreme sports game to date. I bought as soon as it came out and haven't taken it out of my PS2 yet. I was hoping someone would come out with an inline skating game and finally ACCLAIM has done so. Well I have to get back to playing Aggressive Inline hopefully you buy it and see what i mean.

Look out Tony Hawk!

Ever since Z-Axis released Skate or Die (seems like an eternity ago)I've been saying this company knows what it is to make a fun game. And indeed, this time it seems they've delivered like never before. I've only seen screen shots of this game so far (it's being released exactly 1 week from when this review is written), but it looks absolutely dynamite. This game is going to do for Inline Skating what Tony Hawk did for the world of skating 4 years ago. What I do know is it features 10+ incredibly cool and well designed characters, with tons of personality. It has a 60+ framerate and twice the polygon count of Dave Mirra, the closest Extreme Games competition. And apparently the boards are absolutely massive. If that didn't convince you, maybe the killer soundtrack will:

"Wrong Way," by Sublime, "Monday Morning" and "Falling For You," by Student Rick, "I'm A Cloud" by Boy Hits Car, "Passing Me By" by Pharcyde, "Sell Out," by Reel Big Fish, "Crawling In The Dark," by Hoobastank, "Idea for A Movie," by The Vandals, "Song # 13," by The Ataris, "The Choice Is Yours," by Black Sheep, "Your Disease," by Saliva, and "Don't Sweat The Technique," by Eric B & Rakim.

I wish I knew more about the actual gameplay, but having not played it yet, I can only comment on the buzz, which is really good. People who have played it say it's just as good if not better than Tony Hawk, Dave Mirra, Shawn Palmer, or any other extreme sport game... I can't wait to pick this one up.

Hours Of FUN!!!!

I have the demo of this game and I totally fell in love with it. The characters are funny, especially the hip hop clown guy who gives you a mission to do. I was getting tired of Tony Hawk and that other crap. This game seems to be a lot more fun and the moves are pretty easy to do. I would tell anyone who is or is not into these types of games to give this a try since it is definately worth the trouble.

If you got bored of playing Tony Hawk 3 like I did because you are so darn good at it then you really should take a look at this game. This game has everything that Tony Hawk 3 should have had, massive levels, interesting missions, and lots of tricks. This truly is a extreme sports game, and should not be confused with a game like Jet Grind Radio. If you loved the Tony Hawk series, then buy this game!!

Aggressive Inline is a great game

When I first got Aggressive Inline I thought it would be another game where you play it for a few weeks then it never gets touched again - IT'S NOT!!! When I started playing the game I noticed that the levels are HUGE!! Then, I figured out that you could do extreme tricks like skitch onto cars and do vaults and flips. You can also unlock extra levels in the main level. Another thing is you have a juice meter and when that runs out (when you fall down too much or just don't do enough tricks)that level ends. This may sound good, but after a while I would get tired of the level and quit.

I though this game was really fun so I give it 4 stars

Aggresive? You [darn] Right!

Hardcore is the perfect way to describe this game! It's fun and exciting! There's 9 levels that are all fully detailed. Of course best of all you can play it for hours! If you love skating and would like to freestyle skate then this is definetly the game for you! Enjoy!

What a steal

For one million dollars, this game is a bargain.

I've been an aggressive inline skater for years, and I really wanted to like this game. But, for me, it just didn't measure up. It has potential, but I just didn't find it to be as fun as Tony Hawk 3. I was going to purchase this game, but decided to rent it first. I'm glad I did. The first level wasn't even available in career mode until after the completion of the tutorial.

This game is more challenging than Tony Hawk 3, which is good, and the levels are huge, but the fun factor just wasn't as high. After spending about an hour or so playing in career mode, I found myself wanting to pop Tony Hawk back into my PS2, which I did, and played that for several hours instead.

I can't say Aggressive Inline is a bad game, I just can't say that I found anything that made me want to play it anymore. Tony Hawk is a high energy game, and I really think that's what was missing for me from Aggressive Inline. It just didn't seem to have that same level of high energy adrenaline gaming.

Pick it up today

Just as good maybe better than tony hawk which says a ton! AI has a very high replay value and a short learning curve especially if you've played tony hawk. The two are different enough so you don't feel like you're playing the same game. I've worn out tony hawk and picked up AI for a nice break.

Lose the skateboard, 'cuz we're about to do something new !

For the past 7 years (or at least I think so), I've been playing too many skateboarding and BMX games on my Dreamcast and been wondering when an aggressive skating game will come out. During those past years, I always thought to myself that maybe they will make an aggressive skating game, because of the uncontrollable hype on BMX, Skateboarding, Snowboarding, and Surfing...and then it happened. Finally after 7 long years of playing nothing more than BMX, Skateboard, Snowboard, and Surfing games as the only extreme sport games out there, Acclaim, the same creators who gave you Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 for the Gamecube, Xbox, PS2, and Game Boy Advance, gives us the first aggressive skating game for home consoles entitled Aggressive Inline for the PS2. And all I gotta say is FINALLY !!! IT'S ABOUT TIME WE SEE A BLADING GAME !!! I played the game over at a local electronics store from where I live at, and I gotta say, I'm very impressed. Even skateboarders and people who just hate blading were impressed with the way this game plays. The graphics are nearly perfect. The huge stages look vivid and colorful and the character animations move smoothly, but the 3D models look a little pixelated. But still, it's looking great ! The audio is amazing. The game's soundtrack sounds like real music to my ears, with the sounds of punk rock and hip-hop and the sound effects really match the game's atmosphere. The sounds of grinding, landing, and grunting sound pretty cool. And as always, you get a nice selection of some of the best pro bladers of all time, including some made-up skaters based on Acclaim's idea like Eito Yasutoko, Chris Edwards and more. As for the gameplay, it rocks. You don't really get that much game modes, but it's still enough to satisfy the average gamer. The controls are similar to that of Tony Hawk and mostly Dave Mirra 2. And that's a good thing, considering that the Dave Mirra 2 engine helped made the game itself very popular. It's fun to pull off tricks, but when you start to spin, that's where the problem starts. Sometimes it's hard to pull off even the easiest rotations, but that doesn't mean that the game itself is bad. At least it made up for it's graceful controls and wide varieties of tricks. You can still do manuals and try to keep your balance while you grind on rails or ledges. And just like in Dave Mirra 2 on the Career Mode, you'll still do some numerous missions and talk to other people during play. So in the end, Aggressive Inline is one of the greatest extreme sports games of all time and it truly revolutionized the genre. Sure the game itself has its flaws and the upcoming Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 will beat the tar out of this game, but I don't care ! Just as long as there's something else to play other than just the same thing all over again. If you wan't to abandon skateboarding and BMX games for a little while and play somehting different, great games like Aggressive Inline should not remain unplayed. And don't forget ! This game will also release on the Gamecube, Game Boy Advance, and the Xbox very soon, so everyone will get their hands on the best blading game of all time !
