Nothing to do with the Limp Bizkit song of the same name, Rolling is actually an 'aggressive inline skating' product of the sadly now-deceased Rage. It was left in limbo for months before SCi swooped down like beanie-sporting angels and decided that it was way too 'street' to be dumped in the trash.

This offers more of the usual head-cracking extreme sports mayhem, combining realistic challenges with the offbeat, and plagiarising the seminal Tony Hawk's series for everything it's got. The controls and premise are virtually identical. B and X for flip and grab moves, Y for grind and A for jump. The sweetest trick is maintaining a series of grind moves, flicking off a wall and returning to a rail to keep the combo flowing. More ambitious manoeuvres (the Rocket Fishbrain is guaranteed to dislocate a shoulder or two) can be unlocked as your reputation builds, and these will inevitably contribute towards cracking those elusive 'ill' scores. And your face too, if you're not careful. This game features an unhealthy appreciation for blood.

Other Hawk derivations rear their heads throughout. Letter/logo collecting features prominently and the modicum of bizarre tasks on offer, such as winching boats in, are Tony Hawk through and through. We also discovered a giggling vampire lurking on a schoolyard level, which we can only assume acts as some kind of ode to Buffy's Sunnydale High. However, maintaining seriousness are the many video and photoshoots, which you'll find littered at various corners of the courses. Dazzle the onlookers with your individualistic brand of street swagger to win magazine cover recognition, or fall on your arse to enter the You've Been Framed hall of fame. The varying difficulty between challenges is alarming - some are simple, others are harder to nail than a plank of titanium.

There are six decent multiplayer games too, including the wacky Time Bomb chase, plus the customary park editor. But that, sports fans, is just about it. Had this been released two years ago, it might have felt quite ordinary. Now, it's almost bordering on the retro. The character models are big and bold, but alas a little clumsy, and although a fidgety-yet-fluid camera tries its best to snazz up your airborne panache with drama and sparkle, the overall look remains somewhat bland. Rolling is certainly playable but virtually single-handedly defines the word 'mediocre'. Wakeboarding Unleashed is far more fulfilling and worthy of your dosh, and it won't be too long before Tony Hawk's Underground (THUG) hits the decks either. We reckon you should make a leap for those two instead. Dude.

1. Superb camera
2. Plays and handles fairly well
3. Great soundtrack

1. Dated and derivative
2. Overly familiar challenges
3. Average courses

Power
An excellent, dramatic camera is not enough to save this from looking sterile.

Style
Typical extreme sports cool but lacks the glamour of rival products out there.

Immersion
If you've already played Tony Hawk's, it will be a case of 'seen it all before’.

Lifespan
There is a fair amount to unlock and a decent park editor... if you can be bothered.

Overall If you love extreme sports, this will pass the time, but with Tony Hawk's Underground just around the corner, it's already past its sellby date.
