720° was a popular 1986 arcade game in which you skateboarded around town to various parks and competed in events, all while dodging a swarm of angry bees when the dreaded "SKATE OR DIE!!!" message flashed on the screen.
So how's the NES version from late 1989? Ugly, boring, and a major disappointment.

On a good day, you'll do well at the events and be able to skate through the park, but completing the game and enjoying the game are two different experience with 720°. The graphics for the skate parks are disappointing and the poor controls can really hurt your performance when competing. This is especially true for the skate ramp portion, as I found this to be by far the most difficult.
With very little that made the arcade version so appealing, 720° was a major wipe out for the NES.
Grade: D-
