SkateBIRD Review by ShrapnelStars

Very frustrating physics. I went into this game expecting the feel and control of the Tony Hawk games, or at least something close to that. The jump height is abysmal and barely allows you to get on top of anything to do tricks, and the tricks themselves are frustrating to pull off. Grinding is also difficult to do, too. The turn radius is also too wide to be able to navigate between set pieces properly, and you have to go out of your way to line yourself up for an edge or QP to trick off of.

The game seems very proud of the way you can constantly fall off the board, as if you are meant to gather most of your enjoyment from that mechanic, almost like Skate 3, but the falling animation isn't funny and you don't gain any form of points or progress from it.

The only thing positive I can really say about the game is the amount of customization options and the fact that they are all free.

I was really looking forward to this game. I'm sad it turned out to feel like a rough beta at best. If you happen to have a copy of any of the Tony Hawk or Skate games, I'd say you're better off playing any of those instead of getting this.
