You can set up matches locally via single- or multicard play or hop online and challenge your friends or random strangers to a variety of games. Once you work your way through the campaign, which could take between 6 and 10 hours depending on how many of the extra challenges you go after, you can fill your time with the excellent multiplayer and skate park creator. Every now and then, the system will fail to recognize one of the more complex doodles, but overall the controls are tight and allow for some creative skate sessions. Thankfully, the margin of error is wide and the recognition is usually good. Drawing out your tricks is intuitive, but it does take a bit of getting used to before you can successfully pull off a long line of combos. You have dozens of tricks to experiment with, and most of them are easy to pull off. An upward slash will give you an ollie, while a diagonal slash will produce a kickflip, and so on. Using the bottom screen, you quickly draw your tricks on a picture of a skateboard. The stylus controls are remarkably precise. Without the cohesive open world, the game loses a little of its soul, but thanks to the unique controls, it still feels like a Skate game. Like the Wii game, this hurts the laid-back vibe originally established with Skate. After completing the required number of goals to move the career forward, you'll be whisked away to the next map for a new challenge. Though some of the goals can be tricky, challenging you to perform some precise moves, the single-player campaign still moves swiftly. Grinding is a little easier than in the console games, but it still requires good timing to line it up correctly. Each area has a variety of skate challenges including best trick, races, film goals, and more.
#POMELLO SKATEBOARD REVIEW PS3#
Instead of having you skate around an open world like the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, Skate It on the DS takes after the Wii game of the same name and splits San Vanelona and other skate areas into large chunks accessible through a map screen. There isn't much for you to do in Skate It other than win the challenges and move on. The slick controls and robust single- and multiplayer offerings make Skate It a deep, authentic skating experience worthy of the Skate name. The DS version features a stylus-intesive control scheme, and it works beautifully. The analog sticks did the tricks on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, while the Wii Remote or balance board handled them on the Wii.
#POMELLO SKATEBOARD REVIEW SERIES#
Each system the series has appeared on has used the hardware in different ways to replicate the feeling of flipping a skateboard. It's still a young franchise, but the Skate series already has two distinct features: its unique "flickit" controls and its realistic depiction of skating.
