Airblade

Game: Airblade

Platform: Playstation 2

Studio: Namco

Rating: 7/10

Airblade is a pretty cool hoverboard game.

Look: The graphics are tight. Not on the level of Tony Hawk but definitely not bringing the game down.

Feel: Balance is better than you’d expect. The tricks can be cool like swinging from a pole, but this game isn’t as freewheeling as Tony Hawk. The goals aren’t random, you have to go as the game decides and that can get extremely frustrating.

Hear: The sound effects are decent and surprisingly better than the soundtrack.

Frankly: The way Airblade is laid out you can find yourself getting extremely frustrated and that isn’t what you want in a game. Video games are about having fun and frustration has no place in here. Airblade is fun, just not at all times.
