This game HAS to be concidered as one of the best sporting games of all time. Yes, skateboarding is a sport and it will now be recognized even more as a sport because of this game. Great controls, great music, and challenging courses, what more is there to say?
Fun, but very dated

Back when this game first came out, it was a groundbreaking effort for extreme sports video-games, most of which were, (and for the most part, still are) mediocre at best. The tricking system was simple, and easy to learn. The level design was the best in the genre, and the level objectives were fun.
But that was three years ago. Today, even for the incredibly cheap asking price I just can't recommend purchasing the original game in this series, beacuse for just a few dollars more you could do a whole lot better with any of the sequels in the series. Provided, the latest two sequels (3 and 4) were primarily designed for next-generation consoles, but they did come out on PLaystation 1, Game Boy Advance, and dare I say, Game Boy Color, so you should be able to find the game of your choice on the platform of your choice.

I've never even set foot on a skateboard before and I think this game is awesome! This is the first playstaion game I bought, and It's still my favorite! This game may be a little tricky at first, but you'll get use to it. I would recomend getting the cheats for this game, b/c you can make the special light up and the players can earn massive points this way. Also, unlock Officer Dick and then Private Carerra-she's the best (mad speed).
This game is so much fun, any game player should definately invest the cash to add this to their collection!
The best breakthrough game ever!

This is the first instalment of the tony hawk series. This is the start of greatness because it allows you for the first time to become one of your favorite skateboarders. You board through great levals completing objectives and winning compatitions. This is also an awsome multiplayer game. You get to skate against your friends to get the most points or in the grafiti mode. In grafiti you see who can do the most tricks on different areas of the leval whoever claims the most territory wins. This is an all aroung great game and a must buy but the graphics could use some work.
Awesome Start

This game has single-handedly made me use my PlayStation again.
I cannot put into words the fun that this game offers. The graphics are great, the movements are very fluid, and I think the physics are spot on.
I think this game is well suited towards all ages, as it is non-violent, and it can appeal to parents as well as children. You don't have to even like or know how to skateboard before playing.
Now that this game has gone Platinum, it is even more value. No game collection should be without this game!
good stuff

this is the game! it is fun and alot of stuff to do. if you like skateboarding or snowboarding this is the game to play. good controll and many tricks to pull. and the characters are from the real world and have about the same skills as they do in reality. but to know this you would have to be a skateboarder. try it you will like it and you will grow with it.
My thumbs hurt because I played it so much.

I think a lot of people have been waiting a long time for this game. No matter how long you play it's not enough. If you don't own it you're missing out.
Awsome Skateboarding Game Even Though Tony Hawk 2 is Better

This Game is a great game and it is now at a great price. I got this game today from a Friend and I have played before and I think that this game is awsome. I would recommend this game to everyone and also I would buy Tony Hawk 2.

This game has many levels and tons of characters to go along with them. Tricks, tricks, and more tricks: that describes this game. Plenty and plenty of game play. If you love skateboarding, get this game.
