yeah, the series became of victim of GTA's popularity I think.

Explain?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

just meaning how THUG started to incorporate all these missions that weren't even on a skateboard. Y'know? Felt less about skating and more like it tried to incorporate GTA-style missions.

Well after dinner I'll be popping in my DC copy. No reason to not beat it again!

I have the Xbox version. I won't have time until this weekend to play, though.

I've already made it up to Venice Beach. I got a gold metal, and beat all the levels at 90% (I don't bother with the "find all the money" goal, as I don't find scavenger hunts fun in games).

I created my skater but haven't bothered actually playing it yet.

Think I'll go do that now. :)

Not liking the Dreamcast version. Pulling off specials is hit or miss. I remember the PSX having much better controls.

If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
