720

Graphics: 3 out of 10
Sound: 3 out of 10
Gameplay: 5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 7 out of 10
Overall: 3.5 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics aren't anything spectacular but at least you know
what things are. If you've played 720 for the NES, they are nothing like
that. They are worse. You're basically a little blob on a skateboard and
the graphics look vaguely like they belong on the Atari (only updated).
Sound: Sound is also a little on the low side. The songs aren't anything
spectacular and you'll forget them after you're done playing the game.
The game needs a little bit more sound effects however.
Gameplay: An interesting skater game that was made by Atari. In it, you
try to win the gold medal in a total of 4 competitions so you will be given
money and you take that and buy better gear so you win even more medals.
After you win 4 medals in one set, you move on to the next set, which is
just the set before only longer or harder. The controls are really bad and
doing spins while jumping is confusing since you never know when you'll land.
Hardness factor: This game was kind of hard if you try to get all the gold
medals, but if you just get bronze and silver it isn't as challenging. I also
noticed they increased the time you have in the competitions compared
to the NES version.
Overall: 3.5 out of 10. While this might have been a good game when it
was released in the Arcades, today it is just boring. Unfortunately, it's
not even a very good port of the NES version.
