Play ESPN X Games Skateboarding Online

Summary

ESPN X Games Skateboarding brings a surprisingly deep skate‑boarding experience to the Game Boy Advance, packing a roster that starts with legends like Bob Burnquist, Chris Senn and Colin McKay, and even hides Rollie McNulty and Kaiell Williams as unlockable riders. The soundtrack is a nostalgic mixtape of early‑2000s punk and nu‑metal, featuring tracks from Linkin Park, Sum 41 and New Found Glory, which adds a gritty edge to every grind and flip. Gameplay revolves around the X‑Rage meter: pull off tricks to fill it, snatch a floating coin, launch into a ten‑trick combo, and watch gems rain down to boost specific attributes—an inventive loop that feels fresh on a handheld. The game also offers practice, multiplayer, free‑skate and an arcade mode where collecting spinning X‑Games logos unlocks new levels. Critics were split; while Famitsu praised the graphics, Western reviewers complained about inconsistent visuals and limited lasting appeal, especially in the park competition mode.
