Game description: Here's the deal with skateboarding: if you can't throw down your own tricks, you might as well either let your jaw drop or take off when real skaters are putting on a show. Be cool about it. But scratch that, these little ghostly hosers called Gawoo are getting all up on the city and trying to take it over. They ain't cool, and why? Because they can't skate. They're skater-haters, just like the rest of these street peds. But they still get wowed when you bust out boarding moves like a breakdancer, and that's the whole deal with Yanya Caballista: City Skater. Koei's new skating game is one part wacky Japanese-styled insanity, then another few thousand parts more wacky Japanese-styled insanity for some of the most bizarre and funky graphic design explosions on the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Skate the city collecting cash and other goodies to boost your trick bag, then go after the Gawoo and drive them off the block. Show some fierce moves, and they'll take off running from your godly skills. Yanya Caballista even comes with a giddy little gaming trinket--a fingerboard for pulling off your own ollies and aggro moves.

Test configurations on Windows:

Environment			Configurations			Comments	Tester
Region	OS	CPU/GPU	Revision	Graphics	Sound/Pad
NTSC-U	Windows	Intel Core i5 4210U @ 1.70 GHz Nvidia GTX 860M 2048MB	PCSX2 1.2.1.r5873	?	?	Playable in the Menu screens and anything that involves overlays. The moment it goes into a 3D environment, large maps becomes unplayable. Small maps, in this case, Ramp Mode, can be almost playable. Timing issues when playing on large maps. Timing issues scales according to map size. (Large maps = super slow, small maps = moderately slow).	tom_mai78101
NTSC-U	Windows	Intel® Core(T M) i7-8750H NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 Turbo	PCSX2 1.5.0-dev-2760	?	?	Large maps still becomes unplayable, but it is a bit faster. Introduction demo gameplay is running okay-ish. It's "viewable". Most likely same bugs.	tom_mai78101
