I had to go all the way back to the (far too many) Tony Hawk reviews to remember how to play games such as this. In Tony Hawk, the point was to skate around town and do tricks off of various objects in order to get points or money or something to upgrade your equipment or outfits or something and unlock other levels or something. That's pretty much the same here, or something, except you're on a scenic mountain, not in some depressed urban community. That makes Drop Point Alaska a bit more inviting, as it's set somewhere you'd maybe actually want to be.
