This game is good for its price but it leaves out a couple of things. First, it doesnt come with a booklet like most games do it just shows u to install it and thats it. Second, you can play as the people inside your dkatepark thats cool but its hard to ever land tricks. If the booklet had more things like to show you haow to do tricks that would be cool but it doesn't. Overall it is a neat game except for the booklet.

When I saw the title of this game I though WOW cool a skatepark game. I thought since the title said tycoon that this game would be just as good as the original roller coaster tycoon, and boy was I wrong. First off I had a super hard time trying to load it onto my pc. My pc is far better that the system requirements and it still wouldn't load. Then when I finally got it to load and tried it it was far WORST than i expected. The grafics were OK but RCT was way better. You only have sertant ramps you can choose from and the whole idea was just bad. Overall don't get this game and spend your valuble money on this junk!! Get a real skateboard game and get Tony Hawk.

this game stinks!

This game at first, sounds like a lot of fun but quickly you will find out that it isn't much fun at all. The game concept is excellent and would make an awsome game if it wasn't made so cheaply. The game graphics even on a top of the line computer are very sketchy and pixelated, the gameplay is long, boring, and confusing. Also the game leaves no room for growth for more experienced players( if you could get any experience in it) to move above and beyond the game basics. Overall I think this game could have been a top seller but wasn't made to quality standards and ended up being crap!

Underratted yet overrated

This game is a good try at recreating the fun of making a skatepark and being able to skate it as in the popular Tony Hawk series. The graphics are OK, better than needed to tell what is going on. The manual in the box is meant to install the game. It does not tell you the real manual is the readme that is installed along with the game. The idea that a skatepark needs not just ramps and rails but stores, medical facilities, and other places of interest make it more realistic, but also hinders gameplay. The box actually shows screenshots from a different version of the game in which you can build first aid stations. The game allows you to build only ambulances. Another disturbing feature is the Main Menu. The manual claims that one option on the menu should be New Game, where you take up a pre-built park and try to make it successful. It has not appeared on my computer yet. Activision, seemingly the publisher of the game and the creators of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, does not list this game on their site and will not answer questions about it. The most innovative feature of the game is to be able to control the skaters and do tricks. The controls are not immediately obvious unless you can tell where the scroll bar is. The way to do tricks is to input a sequence od directions then hit jump. These are complicated, and if you are in a pipe, the automatic spinning that allows you to land properly stops and you are required to use out of the way buttons to spin back in time. The game is not a good buy, even at a measley 20 dollars. Even 10 dollars is too much for this HORRIBLE game.

Install problems

I've tried installing it on two different machines. After chewing up 400MB on my son's W98 machine, it said it needed Direct X (included). I installed it, the game still failed. The error messages and install procedure are the worst I've ever experienced (and I've seen a lot!). The Direct X diagnostic confirmed the machine was working fine. Examining the diagnostic specs against the 6 point type on the box, I discovered the game requires 8MB of video RAM and 3D acceleration (which should have been detected first!!!)
Sooo, I installed it on W2K. The Direct X on the CD was not compatible so I downloaded it. Diagnostics run fine, meets all specs, the game WILL STILL NOT PLAY. No messages, just immediate crash!
I'm kicking myself - always read Amazon reviews before buying!
