PlayStation 2

Don't let the blurb about this fool you, it's a skateboarding game. The board may be a hoverboard, but in the scheme of things that doesn't alter much.
The best thing about Airblade is that it's mission based, rather than trick-orientated. Once you've mastered your wheel-less wonder, this is an entertaining bit of fun, with five single-player games, four two-players and a group thing, for the swingers out there.
There's nothing here that's so exciting it'll burn your pants off, but the game play is smooth and the scenery looks just dandy. More your Sunday afternooner than a 3am on a school night kind of game. (NP)

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Game Boy Advance

Atlantis: The Lost Empire includes 15 levels of play in locations based on Disney's latest animated movie. You assume the role of the film's star, Milo, on his quest to discover the lost city of Atlantis.
I know, it's not sounding too tempting, but unlike a lot of the Disney characters we've become accustomed to on hand-helds, this chap is a little more nimble than the rest. Milo can crawl, swing, jump, climb, run, walk, pull, push, he'd even make you a cup of tea if you asked nicely enough.
His movements are so realistic, you'll forget that you're playing in a three-bed semi in Bromley altogether. (HM)
