Skateboarding has become very popular recently along with a number of other extreme sports. MTV, the satelite and cable music channel, sponsors many extreme events and now it has got together with THQ to produce MTV Sports Skateboarding. The idea of the game is to score points and collect items whilst trying to skate around on a very wobbly hypersensitive skateboard.

It's a shame that no-one from MTV watches any of their events, as this game is nothing like the real tournaments and is absolutely pitiful when viewed alongside Tony Hawk's Skateboarding. There are quite a few tricks for you to perform, but your board is so difficult to control that you'll turn it off before you finish the first level. If you want a skateboarding game for your Game Boy, then get Tony Hawk's.

MTV should stick to music!
