AirBlade (stylized as airblade) is a sports video game developed by Criterion Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It is the spiritual successor to the Dreamcast game TrickStyle. Namco Hometek released the game in North America.
==Gameplay== The gameplay is very similar to the early ''Tony Hawk's'' video games. Players have a limited time to complete all the challenges in a level (such as knocking out a number of henchmen or destroying searchlights), with small amounts of extra time awarded for each success. There is also an emphasis on tricks and combos, which fill up a Boost gauge allowing Ethan to move faster and jump higher.
