This was the beginning of the end for the franchise. This game felt so wildly different from the Underground games, and what most of us fans were wanting was MORE of it... We got four games in the Pro Skater series, and we expected the same treatment for the Underground series... but what we got was this boring, dull, lifeless and too-cheesy-for-its-own-good game with no substance. I didn't hate this game upon release but I came to hate later on as it seemed like Ground Zero for the downfall of the franchise.
