AIRBLADE RULES
Airblade was one of the top ten games (in my life). The game is hard and has great graphics. even though the Last level of the game (it took me a week to get there)is all about time. This is really close to Tony Hawk but who cares about that there is alot of action and adventure spining and jumping and the songs ROCK. If u are a person who really likes to win well this is a game for u to give u a pat on the back. Plus u would like a memory card for this i lost it and then i found it at the last day when i was sopposed to give it back. WELL GOOD LUCK IF U BUY THIS GAME.
<- IS MY RATING FOR THIS GAME
FIRST OF ALL, FOR THE PRICE, THIS GAME IS WORTH THE MONEY. THE GAME IS SOME WHAT HARD, MEANING YOU WILL LOSE AT THE GAME MORE THAN ONCE. BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT FOR SOME REASON, LOSING AT A GAME SEEMS FUN TO MOST VIDEO GAME PLAYERS. (OK I'LL ADMIT THE IDEA OF LOSING SOUNDS LAME, BUT LOSING IS WHAT COMES FROM PLAYING A HARD GAME LIKE A ZELDA GAME.) I HAVE NOT BEATEN THE 3RD LEVEL OF AIRBLADE YET BUT, I KNOW THERE IS HOPE AND I HAVE BEATEN ALL OF THE FACTERS IN LEVEL 3 (I JUST DIDN'T GET TO THE GATE WHEN IT WAS OPEN, DON'T ASK) THIS GAME ALSO HAS A LOT OF OPTIONS, LIKE THE MAKING OF AIRBLADE MINI MOVIE. IN CLOSING, THIS GAME CAN BE A LOT OF FUN IF YOU LET IT SHINE IT IT'S OWN WAY
Terrible if you like Tony Hawk...
This game is dirt cheap used, but in the first 5 seconds of playing it I couldn't stand the sloppy floaty control compared to any other skating game. If you like skating games, you will be very annoyed at this. I tried to like it for 15 minutes in free skate mode and the whole time I was thinking that I'd much rather put in any Tony Hawk game.Also, the opening menu music was a very annoying song and it was used in the free skate the whole time too.

When i saw the adds for airblade i was dazzled. It had Brillinat graphics awesome gameplay i thought i had to get it. I had borrowed it from a friend and then gone to another friends house to play. My friend said it would be a cheap copy of Tony Hawk i didn't believe him though. We started playing good graphics nice storyline impossible mission. The game had good garphics but apart from that it [is no good]. You go like 5cm above ground you have to do tricks and get energy to jump high and gind and the mission are quite corny. The controls [are] pretty much [worthless]. The game trys to get the feel of Tony Hawk with the grinds and tricks but it failed horiibly. I feel pity for the fool how purchases this game. Its terrible abosulute terribel god forbid them making a sequel.
Great artist stuck in a soap opera
If ON BROKEN GLASS is representative of her talents, one wonders what John Gardner could have seen in her work to praise her the way he did (or at least the way Ms. Thorton remembers it). It's easy to understand way Ms. Thorton would want to go through the catharsis of writing this memoir but it is hard to understand why she would want to publish it. In reality, we learn nothing about Gardner we didn't know before but we get a lot of melodrama and self-serving introspection about a person who simply would not be of interest except that the allowed herself to be manipulated by a man, who while a great writer and teacher, crossed the line once too often, taking advantage of his celebrity and status.The details of Gardner's life are not new; Ms. Thorton's story is not much beyond whining and self-loathing, and she does, perhaps, ultimately reveal or imply more about herself and her role in John Gardner's fall than she intends.
Love is Blind
To me, John Gardner was egotistical, self-serving, and liked nothing better than the sound of his own voice. Ms. Thornton was nothing but a doormat, and a doormat who should have known better. Ms Thornton claims writing this book was therapeutic, brought closure, etc. Frankly, I don't think the book served its' purpose. She seems to be the same starry eyed person she was, when John Gardner first appeared on the horizon. And there is no doubt, that Ms. Thornton would have continued on her path of self destruction had John Gardner lived.
