Thumping urban audio to keep your head in check and all the previously listed challenges neatly mapped out before you. As a hunk of code, OO2 is near perfect with subtle, yet slick visuals, to keep the focus on your deck. If you're in the skateboarding frame of mind, then this a perfect mix of science and score hunting, if not it soon becomes a temptation for us cack-handed mortals to slam dunk the Vita and trying something else, wherever you fall on that scale will determine how your mileage varies.
