Company Line / Game Summary
Aggressive Inline is a trick-based action sports game featuring extreme sports legend Chris Edwards, the founding father of aggressive inline skating, as well as other high-profile skaters such as Taig Kris, Jaren Grob and Shane Yost. Gamers can play as one of their favorite inline stars, as they master and explore an array of fully-interactive levels, each filled with pedestrians, traffic systems and outrageous gravity-defying challenges.
 "We are thrilled to expand upon the breadth of our diverse product offerings from the Acclaim Max Sports brand and once again work with Z-Axis to deliver another benchmark title in the genre," said Steve Felsen, senior brand director for Acclaim. "With nearly 30 million inline skaters in the United States and more than $250 million generated in revenues annually from equipment manufacturer's sales, Chris Edwards Aggressive Inline is a perfect extension of our extreme sports portfolio."
My Take
This is the very first inline skating game that will be released. Z-Axis is developing it so it should be similar to the Dave Mirra games they have made. I’m wondering if it will be able to compete with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4? I think it has the potential to be right up there with the Tony Hawk games. I guess I will find out in the summer of 2002.
Anticipation: 9/10
