720 Degrees (USA, Europe) (GBC)

720 Degrees is a unique skateboarding game where players take on the role of a talented skateboarder, engaging in thrilling challenges within a large skate park. The main objective is to showcase skillful skateboarding, performing impressive flips and tricks to earn high scores and advance through levels.

In 720 Degrees, players freely navigate a 2D environment simulating a skate park, searching for specific areas to participate in various skateboarding events. These events can include: half-pipe competitions, where you must perform aerial tricks; slalom races, requiring agility to weave through obstacles; jump competitions to achieve maximum height; or even fast-paced downhill races. Each event has its own requirements and objectives, offering a diverse experience for players.

A distinctive feature of 720 Degrees is its time-based system. Players have a limited amount of time to complete tasks and earn enough "money" or "points" to unlock new areas or enter larger tournaments. If the objective is not met within the allotted time, the game ends. This adds pressure and requires players to be quick and strategic in choosing which events to participate in.

Players can control their skateboarder to move, jump, and perform tricks like ollies, grinds, and aerial spins. The more complex tricks you perform and the more smoothly you combine them, the higher your score will be. The graphics of the GBC version, though simplified, still aim to capture the dynamic atmosphere of skateboarding. 720 Degrees is a highly entertaining title, suitable for those who enjoy action sports games and want to challenge their reflexes.
