What players say
I go on & off with this game but every time I get on it's like I never left, it's like taking a break from skateboarding and picking it up all over again. You never really do stop playing, you just advance into something better. Skate or die!!
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
best skateboarding sim, the difficulty and the challenge makes it very addicting and rewarding. I believe it's control and catch system is the most accurate to how real skateboarding feels- much more rhythmic than skater xl. The missions can be buggy but asides from that I really enjoy the skate-ability of the map, the customization, the physics of the board, the lighting, and the overall feeling of the game. Can't...
I have no idea why this game has so many positive reviews. Customization is nice, but main skating mechanic is janky. Also it looks like the game was abandoned
