Hahaha thanks guys, I did end up picking up the boxed version. It will take a few days, but if I remember I will post here telling you guys how I like it. Thanks!

SUCH an AMAZING game!

I hoped for a sequel for sooooo long!....then skate. came out lol.
But it's definitely a terrific game well worth hours of play, even nowadays.
Good choice!

All of these glowing recommendations are reassuring me that I made a good purchase. Thanks!

It really is a great game. If you've ever Played Dave Mirra its the same engine
There is a pretty steep learning curve, especially on hardcore, for some tricks you'll have to hold multiple buttons on take off. With the combination of the landing button and having to balance grinds, there can be a lot going on.

Thrasher: Skate and Destroy was the best skateboarding game before Skate hit the scene.
It's still worth every moment you get a chance to play it these days.
The complexity it has like PLG pointed out is pretty crazy till you get it on lock.

Also, throw away Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX while you have the chance.
It is an absolute piece of garbage. Grab Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 for a much better version of that series.
Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 1, Remix, and 2 I'd recommend buying as well because they are the best BMX games to date.

Pawn, did you make some Thrasher videos at some point or am I making that up? And yeah, complexity of controls being high in this game just gives me more creativity.

And Replicant - yeah, I am really looking forward to Thrasher.
About Matt Hoffman - I really do love Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX 1, I played it as a child and even as a slightly older child and loved it. So, I bought it. I remember always wanting a PS2 so I could play Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2, having loved the first so much. Can anyone else comment on Mat Hoffman 1 vs 2? I may look into it now that you said it was better Replicant (although we do have vastly different opinions on the first game).

And about Dave Mirra - I spent a LOT of time with it on PC, never really played it seriously for the campaign but only for free-ride. I was looking into buying the first one for PS1, but never really looked into the second. I may have to give it some time hahaha
Also, because I'm lazy, could you tell me about the 'Maximum Remix' edition? If I were to pick up Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 1, it sounds like this version of it would be the way to go. How much does it add to the game, in an objective and subjective sense?

Thanks
