Razor Freestyle Scooter

Razor Freestyle Scooter was released on 28th August 2001 by developers Shaba Studios and publishers Crave Entertainment. Ive only recently got my hands on a copy, the title completely flying under my radar in 2001 due to being so close to the Dreamcast consoles sad end. To be honest I was expecting a shabby mess of a game with atrocious looks and handling but upon booting it up I was pleasantly suprised. Not blown out of my boots but not crushed by a mallet either.
Overall the games design is aimed to appeal to the younger gamer with cutsie, new age punk characters and fun themed skate parks, while the scooters handling like the boards in Tony Hawk's Skateboard games. I was quickly confident in pulling off impressive tricks on the plentiful ramps and half pipes, however one major gripe was the feeling of speed; there isn't any. At all. To compensate for this the areas are pretty small but the lack of speed does detract from the game.
Background to the story (as if you need a story to pull stunts on scooters) is a robot has come to earth and kidnapped your skating chums. To get them back you must perform a series of cool tricks in order to presumably impress the mad robot.
Its a fun game to while away half an hour, however be warned. As the games characters are fluffy looking mini-punks, so it must follow that the music is performed by unknown American punk bands (think Green Day only much less famous) and as a result the background sound grinds. And NOT like a smooth skateboard trick but more like a sander to the face.
Skate parks range from regular parks to rooftop areas and even scooter parks in the sky. (Wonder where they applied for that planning permission?)
To sum it up, Razor Freestyle Scooter is a fun quick blast but nothing to keep you going back for more. I picked this up for £3.99 on an auction site which is at least £3 over priced. Oh well, you can't win 'em all and its not a total shambles.
Just one question: what on earth do razors have to do with anything?
