...this game is art. The fact that it makes no visible attempt to convince you as much only legitimizes its claim to that title. From the get go, it pulses with a youthful, rebellious verve that few games can match. This gang of skating street artists become accidental heroes simply by the merit of what they do: run free and make art wherever they go, a notion whose beauty was mostly lost on my younger self. When I first watched lines of police in riot gear firing tear gas at my unarmed avatar back in 2000, I only saw another exaggerated video game enemy. As a grown man, though, I see it for what it is: a statement that any group that uses its power so readily and excessively is unfit to wield it, and that self-expression and non-violent dissent can overcome it.
