I like games with levels that take you to actual ‘real word locations’. I can think of a few action sports games with some cool settings around the world, some of which are actually pretty similar to the real place. What are some of your favorite in-game locales? Are there any actual locations that you haven’t seen in any game that you think they should use?

For example, baseball games like MLB Slugfest do a great job of re-creating the actual baseball stadiums, although I haven’t seen all the baseball games out there. Racing games like Need 4 Speed and Midnight Club also have some really great cities and realistic recreations. Transworld Surf has some cool locations around the world too, like in Antarctica, France and Fiji. Anyway, you get the idea.. I’m going to add to my own list as I think of more. In the meantime, think of some of your picks and post em here.

Also, I played the wakeboarding game demo in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 option menu and it's an absolutely stunning recreation of a vacation spot - the lakewater looks and acts completely realistically. I'm going to look for a link to it so I can show anyone who hasn't already played the demo.

Here's that link; http://www.wakeboardingunleashed.com - I think the 2 player mode is going to be cool... driving the boat and trying to wipe out your wakeboarding friend has to be fun.

Geez people, c'mon - I won't bite, I promise.

People won't answer if you ask that question here. It's a general topic, you should ask it here.

But anyway, I've played the Tony Hawk's series long enough to know every places they included in their games. Some of them are real, just like real-life, the ones that actually exist, and they sure did a good job too. I've played almost all games you mentioned up there, NeedFSpeed and all, and yea, I'm leaning towards your statement.

But I didn't know MLB was an extreme sport lol.

Tony Hawk Series has great locations. I love most of their skateparks. Baseball games and Basketball games do a great job of recreating stadiums.

Tony Hawk Underground 2 World Destruction Tour has the best places EVER.So realistic.So fun and funny to watch what others do as it is kinda like a real life enviroment.
