Mostly modeled after the original entries of the series, it lacks some of the polish that came later. While the game looks and feels like a Tony Hawk game, it doesn’t carry with it the development of the series that Neversoft perfected. And the final, fun piece of development to note, is the Create-A-Skater mode, where players can design their own avatar similar to what the kids who won the competition look like aesthetically.

The last mode, Versus, pits two players against one another in challenges. That said, the soundtrack of each leaves quite a bit to be desired.īeyond the Adventure, Free Play mode lets players choose any character to play on any level (Adventure is thematically consistent) which means Woody can skate around Tarzan’s Jungle. They’re exciting renditions of the movies and do well to immerse players in the distinct worlds. Adventure is a collect-a-thon with original levels based on the Disney properties. The game features three modes: Adventure, Free Play, and Versus-all of which may be familiar to fans of the Tony Hawk series. However, beyond the originality of the inception-the actual game is a practical carbon-copy of Tony Hawk games with a little Disney magic and marketing flourish thrown in. That said, the two young victors are prominently displayed on the start-screen and character selection wheel of this game for all time. What was promoted as a Skate competition for young skateboarders nationwide became a way for the two rising stars (and victors) of the competition to become playable characters in the upcoming game.

One of the most exciting things about Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure is its inception. With that in mind, created by Toys for Bob (a company that would later remaster Spyro and Crash Bandicoot to much acclaim) this game feels like an extremely well-crafted mod of a popular series. To say this game was inspired by the Tony Hawk series is an understatement, as it utilizes the exact engine of Tony Hawk 4 to create this originally-licensed game featuring three Disney properties: Toy Story, Lion King, and Tarzan. In an effort to cash in on the skating craze of the early 2000s, Disney, in conjunction with Activision, released Disney’s Extreme Skate Adventure to bring to popular genre to the next generation.
