EXTREME SKATE ADVENTURE
The game DISNEY'S EXTREME SKATE ADVENTURE is a good, playable game but the writers of CSM are right, I felt like I was in commercials for McDonald's and Nokia etc.

Iffy Music Lyrics and Great Gameplay
Probably the thing that struck me the most was the messages. This game has music that includes lyrics saying "I don't want to grow up," "get off my back," "I'll do whatever I want," etc. to emphasize the mood of the skater. Also, lots of consumerism. Nokia, McDonald's, skate park facilities, video game companies, and others all have logos, mentions, and are advertised throughout the game - especially Activision and Toys for Bob, the creators of the game. Surprisingly enough, Disney is probably the least-advertised company in the game. The lyrics are iffy (especially the rap songs) and violence and language is low. Very good game.

Great game that a parent and a kid can play!
An excellent entry level game. Young kids will enjoy just skating around as their favorite Disney characters. Older kids will get a lot out of the depth of play and some interesting level design.
Product placement is bothersome. I can't really speak to it, as each parent has different attitudes on it and how they feel they should react to it. Suffice to say it isn't prevalent on earlier levels.
Music may not be age appropriate in all cases. The option does exist to lower the volume on the background music while keeping the SFX and dialog at a reasonable levels.
All in all, as someone who has played the Tony Hawk Games, Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure has surprising depth while being very easy for a 4 or 5 year old to pick up and skate around.
Enjoy!
