One of the worst games I have ever played
CuriosityKilledShawn25 October 2013
The only way to describe this game is to think of what Paperboy did for a paper round, that's what 720° does for skateboarding. Only Paperboy is a fun classic while this pile of crap is completely un-enjoyable and utterly forgettable experience.

You're an 80s skateboard punk in a town square hub where you can skate to 4 different skateboard effects and show off your skills to win point and unlock upgrades such as a new helmet or new board.

The upgrade feature could be seen as quite innovative in 1986 but...the controls!!! You're better off just trying to control this game with your mind because you're not going to get much response from the buttons. It's absolutely horrendous, and turns what might have been a pleasant diversion into a scalp-shredding nightmare.

Avoid this one, kiddies.

The greatest game ever made

I can't believe this game is almost 40 years old. I bought one at an auction and wanted to be buried inside of it as a coffin. Sure, the bees are silly, there's nowhere near the complexity of moves as you find in Tony Hawk, and there is a bit of a learning curve with the controls, but so worth it. Flying down the ramp levels while trying to gain helicopter-like maximum spin speed was bliss even if you were seeking ice from the snack shack half an hour later for blisters. Think of the joy of a fast RBI Baseball game that boils everything down to 15 minute games vs. Super realistic the Show where you just crave old school baseball.
