Like some other people said, I really wanted to like this game. I love Tony Hawk 2. In general, this game has a much better feature set than earlier Tony Hawk versions, especially the open ended levels and interaction based goals. The C-O-M-B-O can be very tricky and interesting.

Unfortunately, this version (at least the demo), has terrible performance on my Mac (BigAl 1 Ghz, with 64 MB card). Even setting all the options to the minimum, bumping the resolution to 640 x 480, and turning off full-screen antialiasing, etc., the performance is very choppy. Such a low framerate makes this game almost impossible to play. You just can't nail a landing if you aren't seeing where you are in the rotation.

I'm very disappointed with this game. I definitely would've purchased it if it worked well on my system.
