We're sure you're aware, but if not here's the quick overview: the game comes with a full-size skateboard peripheral for players to stand on, and built-in motion sensors detect their movements that are translated to in-game manoeuvres. On initial tests we weren't impressed by the peripheral, finding it unwieldy and unresponsive, and the £100 price tag slapped on it came as a bit of a slap in the face."
