Razor Freestyle Scooter, known as Freestyle Scooter in Europe, is an extreme sports game released for the PlayStation, Game Boy Color, Dreamcast, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo 64.

Gameplay

Licensed by RazorUSA, a company that makes scooters and safety equipment, Razor Freestyle Scooter has player controlling one of ten characters though a series of three environments while trying to perform various stunts and aerial maneuvers (a total of 45 moves are available in the game). The game was unlicensed outside of North America and released in Europe as Freestyle Scooter.

Built using the Grind Session skateboarding engine, Razor tells the story of a group of kids whose friends have been captured by an evil giant robot. Over the course of the game, the youngsters will have to complete an assortment of challenges to rescue their pals. Once the necessary tricks and objectives have been completed, a special level opens up where players will have an opportunity to rescue one of the captured friends.

After accomplishing this, players return to the main levels, this time with a more difficult set of challenges to overcome. The game does not end until all the special levels are unlocked, and all of the friends, including Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tito Ortiz, have been rescued.

Reception

The PlayStation and Dreamcast versions received "mixed or average reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[28][29] David Chen of Next Generation said that the former was "Far too easy, but it leaves you wondering why the big guys can't come up with new stuff too."[16]
