Started Classic Mode (well, it’s called Arcade Mode, but I know better) this morning, and completed it this afternoon – getting all the goals and racking my stats all up to 100%. It was certainly easier than Story Mode, with only a couple of COMBO lines having any real difficulty. At least it didn’t have the stupid “restrict your skating to a portion of the level until you unlock more” thing going on that Story Mode did.
Onward to GBA THUG2 now, then!
