One of the worst games ever made had a sequel? Oh yes, and this is it. Can it possibly be better than the best skating simulation ever? handsomebrick: A lot of people here are saying this game's camera makes them sick, I think they mean how it flips during vertical ramps, but I'm sure it's fine when you actually play the game and you control when it happens. Actually, I love how it makes the player lose track of which way is down, this seems like it would be tricky but also very true to life, and with some polish it could even be pretty fun. Sadly polish is what the game most lacks, which I see as especially unfortunate since skate games that nail the vertical ramp aspect are about 75% of the way to greatness.

Wow, thank you for posting this! This may be a horrible game, but I remember it from my childhood and I've been trying to remember what it was called.
I -remember- it being frustrating the first time I tried it, but when I started getting into skateboarding in real life, I remembered I had this game and gave it another shot. I was actually able to beat the game, in which case you unlock a zombie version of the character you chose, haha.
Again, I'm sure this game is crap, but my memories of it are enjoyable.

The reason that Silver Fish Studios makes such horrible games is because the team knows almost nothing about programming and they rush the games. They spend a few hours per week at most on there games and finish them within a month, and they dont know anything about programming they just copy and paste scripts from other games and download free models and try to make it into there own game ( doesnt turn out very well )

The thing I notice that really puts me off this one is the camera angle on the tricks. Instead of tracking it just follows the player until you can't see where to land because the world goes topsy turvey. Glad the likes of Tony Hawk didn't give skateboarding games his name of approval until a decent developer made one that worked.

Why would Activision have made this when Tony Hawk was already on their roster? If a restaurant has an amazing burger, why add a cheaper priced burger made from questionable meat sources that may also give someone food poisoning. That's just risking a health inspector crackdown and loss of customers.

And what the Hell is a FLIPPO anyway? Is that like the Magic Flip re-invented? What a load. What a fail.
Tail Grab? Nose Grab. At least they get the 540. nothing. 540 Ollie. damn, this whole thing is all convoluted. Another one the AVGN would likely do the nasty over. lol

Completely random idea, but do you think the market success of the first Board and Blades lead to the greenlighting of Tony Hawks Pro Skater? The suits at Activision might have seen that there was demand in the market for alt/x-sport titles as even crap would sell.

I think Activision bought the company, saw how abysmal B&B was, and gave the team the source code to Tony Hawk. They still managed to botch the whole thing from top to bottom, but you can see from the behavior that the sequel clearly has Tony Hawk DNA in it.
