Airblade: A Cool Hoverboard Game

I think that Airblade is very cool. Although the controls can be confusing at times the overall gameplay is superb. With the story-mode, this game is a first in its field. Also, who doesn't like riding on a hoverboard like Marty McFly? Overall this game is a great buy. Since the controls are a little hard to handle I rate this game a 4.

Not so bad, but far from great

I rented this about a week ago. I had it for five days and didn't play it as much as I usually would play a rented game, probably because it wasn't that great. The concept was kinda interesting and the box art looked cool, so I figured I'd give it a try.

The controls take a bit getting used to, as the game is suprisingly much different from any snowboarding or skateboarding game out there. A few hours into it, though, and you should pretty much have the hang of it.

The graphics, although nothing special, were pretty nice looking. The actual airboard your character rides on is a cool looking thing, and from I remember the characters and levels were crisp and great looking. The sound, however, was pretty damn annoying. When you fall off your board there are a small amount of different grunts that the character makes, all of which annoyed the hell out of me for some reason. Most of the small phrases the main character and his enemies blurted out were annoying as well.

I definately recommend one rents this game before going out and buying it based on the cover or the hover-boarding idea. The game was fun, I suppose, but not something I'd want to own.

Sucks

A few weeks ago I bought this game, and it is awsome! The other reviewers think it [stinks], but they dont know anything! The graphics are relly good,it has a plot(it's not that good but hey its a sports game so give it some slack), and very, very detailed levels. You can trick on almost anything! the controls take a little gettin used to(as with all games), but after a few sessions in frestyle mode, you'll be a pro!

P.S. the multiplayer games are tight(theres lots of different ones) and the can hold up to 8 players!
I only wish it had more levels!

Overall= Very Good game

So far this game has came out strong.It's better than any stakeboarding or snowboarding game(not like I'm saying there bad games).Lately(since I have the demo disk for it)I have found this game is pretty interesting.
You ride around on a hoverboard that is pretty hard to control.But of course you're gonna have to get used to it.You don't fall off any thing when your ginding, but don't hit anyone or they'll knock you off your board.You have 2 playable characters named Ehtan and Kat(well those are the only ones on the demo disk).
The music is pretty tackky and sounds like something from the 70's.It has an easy story line to follow.You can do cool tricks and go into neat places.It has cool to player games like ribbion tag and stuff like that.
Overallcit's a cool game, but I think I like Kinetica more,but that's just my opiopon.

This game totally [is bad]. I played it for 2 ours and it got boring. It is so dumb. I got [into it] because it was the only one in it's genre and it looked cool to fly and a hoverboard. But don't get fooled, ...

An awesome game

I don't know why other people say this game was so horrible. I enjoyed and still do enjoy this game througly. Sure, it may not have such attention to detail like Tony Hawk, but it really is an awesome game.

The story in the story mode is iffy...but you'd expect that from a sports game.

One of the most enjoyable features of the game is the fact that the airblade does not touch the ground. You are free to defy gravity and pull off kickass combos, leaving Tony Hawk standing on the ground gawking at you.

But...the most enjoyable feature of the game is the multiplayer. Especially the multitap support. Eight players trying to pull off the best combos? Insane.

This is an awesome game that I would strongly suggest that you get. It's well worth it.

When i saw the adds for airblade i was dazzled. It had Brillinat graphics awesome gameplay i thought i had to get it. I had borrowed it from a friend and then gone to another friends house to play. My friend said it would be a cheap copy of Tony Hawk i didn't believe him though. We started playing good graphics nice storyline impossible mission. The game had good garphics but apart from that it [is no good]. You go like 5cm above ground you have to do tricks and get energy to jump high and gind and the mission are quite corny. The controls [are] pretty much [worthless]. The game trys to get the feel of Tony Hawk with the grinds and tricks but it failed horiibly. I feel pity for the fool how purchases this game. Its terrible abosulute terribel god forbid them making a sequel.

not what you would hope for

I have to admit, when I started the game, it looked really awesome. I kept playing it. I got to the third level and just realized it was not a good game. It is hard and the music is horrible. I would recommend Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 over this any day. I don't think you should get this game. Save your money. The levels are dumb, the graphics are ok, the music and sound is horrible, and the story line is lame. It is just like any other sports game, where you have objectives. The objectives are really dumb. The board doesn't go as high as you would think. It is like a few inches from the ground. I thought I would be able to fly with the character. Doesn't turn out that way. The mobility is not too good. The game seems a bit old, too. I just don't want anyone to be dissappointed the way I am.

Good Gameplay, Bad Music

I think that this game is fun if you enjoy playing Tony Hawk. I mean, it really is like skateboarding, except that the board doesn't have wheels. This game is sort of fun, but not too challenging. It's not a good game to buy if you are a hardcore gamer. If you are one, then I suppose that you should rent it.

Anyway, let me tell you that you can do flip tricks on the ground, and that you can't to manuals. But the really weird thing is that you can grab poles and swing around them. The major drawback is the music! They soooo should've took REAL songs and put them in the game, and not these annoying songs that get on your nerves. So, I'm giving it 3 stars!
