It was quite fun to do all 3 games again. although it made me realize how much i dislike New San Van. or maybe just where i was skating. all the spots near the stacks are exactly the same. but s2 on the whole feels a lot smoother than i remember.
and yes. PVRs are the shit. *assumes ferris bueller voice* If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. So choice.
