"It has that pick-up-and-play quality and retains the essential just-one-more-go feeling right through to the very end." Review by Martin, 82%.

[3.5/5] Review by Marc Saltzman. "It's a refreshing twist on the extreme sports video-game genre, with plenty of solo and multiplayer modes, attractive graphics and a toe-tapping urban soundtrack." Includes screen shots.

"Airblade is a promising concept ruined by some lazy level design and infuriating linearity." Review by Martin Taylor, 6/10.

"Airblade's story-based gameplay, however, vacillates between too simple and ridiculously hard-some levels you'll breeze through, while others you'll have to repeatedly restart because of stupid mistakes." Review by Iron Monkey.

"Puts a unique twist on the current trend in skateboarding games. If you're a fan of the genre looking for something new, AirBlade fits the bill." Review by Ryan Davis with screen shots.

"Takes the extreme skateboarding genre to a fresh and interestingly new level...all of which fans of skating games will definitely find unique and tremendously fun." Review by Nick Valentino with screen shots.

"The levels and objectives lock a game that should offer an unprecedented degree of freedom into a frustrating series of linear challenges." Review by David Smith with rating.

"The levels themselves are nothing short of spectacular, and in freestyle mode, there's moments of real joy to be had tricking off everything and finding secret areas and high wires to grind down. But for us, the lack of skaters, levels, and actual fun in the Story Mode left us sobbing for Tony." Review by David Hodgson with screen shots.

"NAMCO is asking fifty bucks for the privilege of having our fingers sore and our pride hurt from playing a virtual masochist's dream come true." Review by J M Vargas.

"While the extra modes are nice, they really can't make up for the premature ending and aren't addictive enough to play again and again." Review by Michael Palisano, C+.

"Its mission structure. It is just... so highly structured. You have the freedom of movement that an anti-gravity board provides and a very strict set of rules to follow... surely we have a paradox here." Review by William Johnston.

"A classic example of style with substance to match, a 'cool' title if you will, that's bound to impress."
