5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative game for an innovative system, November 20, 2008
By Thomas Dudebroman (New Brunswick, nj United States) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Skate It (Video Game)
I purchased this game earlier today and must say that I cannot stop playing it. I have used it with the Wii Fit board and can say that the designers must have spent a lot of time configuring it. For any skateboarders this game is extremely intuitive and mimics tricks done on real skateboards. The missions get considerably harder as time goes on and as with real skateboarding, you cannot expect to get everything at once.

The graphics are reminiscent of Thrasher Skate and Destroy for PS1, but considering this is a Wii game, it looks great. As with all skateboarding games, there are many pros and real life sponsors to help with your look and deck in the game.

I would highly recommend this game to anybody who is interested. As with many Wii games, you can only blame yourself when you don't land that nollie 360 flip, as it is your fancy footwork (or not so) that is controlling your character. 9/10

5.0 out of 5 stars Get up off the couch and onto your skateboard!, November 21, 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Skate It (Video Game)
Used with the balance board, this is definitely the game to get if you want some great leg/ankle exercise and to work up a sweat without even realizing you're exercising. I just got the game and am already finding it very addictive. You can play it with just the Wiimote and nunchuk or just the Wiimote, but the realism of using the balance board is what really makes the game for me. There are six different areas of the board where you put your weight to move, turn and do different tricks. You use the board in combination with the Wiimote. For example, you use the A button to push your board along. I liked that you have the option of changing the sensitivity of the board. I have it on the high for now, but as the game progresses and gets more difficult, I may change that. For now, I like the way it feels and the way the board responds.

It takes a little while to get the hang of controlling the board to do different tricks, but once you get the hang of it, most of it is intuitive. And, like most games it gets more difficult as you progress through the game so no worries about not having enough challenge here.

The game starts in San Vanelona where a bunch of disasters have caused big time damage and an evacuation so you have room to skate without interference. Playing in the career mode, the first thing you do is to learn how to make the board go and do simple maneuvers. After that, you're taken to a bunch of different locations like London, Paris and Barcelona and hooked up with a video journalist who takes videos of your character. It seems like a pretty good story line and should add interest to the game as it progresses. There are challenges that you can either own or kill. Owning a challenge lets you progress in your career, but killing earns you respect and gets you new stuff.

There is a party play or multiplayer mode too. One of the side games is called the Hall of Meat. The object is to see how badly you can smash up your character. You can do things like go at racing speed and then make him plunge off a bridge spread eagle or head first. There are actually quite a few options of how to injure him. You get points for broken bones, sprains and medical bills. I know it sounds pretty sick but it made me laugh out loud. (Maybe I'm just a sick person.). I think I'll bring the game out after Thanksgiving dinner when everyone is getting ready to nod off on the sofa and get them to play in this mode. It should wake up the snoozers at any party. The only complaint I have about the multiplayer mode is that the board has to recalibrate for each person which takes extra time and is a little boring to wait. It would have been nicer if the game just held the settings in memory.

The graphics are good.. You have a lot of choices in the beginning, starting in the career mode, of how you want your character to look and dress right down to tops, bottoms and shoes in several different brands and logos. You also get to choose the design of your board from several different real life brands. Many of them are locked in the beginning. I like having lots of choices over the way my character looks. The locations look pretty good as well.

Even if you're a total klutz in real life and would never risk life and limb on a skateboard, you can look totally cool in this game. All in all, I think this it's well designed, is super fun, makes great use of the balance board and is good exercise. What more could you ask for? Two thumbs up for this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars great game! 3 control schemes = 3 levels of difficulty!!, November 21, 2008
By Michael D. Jordan (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Skate It (Video Game)
I love this game. I got it the day it came out, beat it 2 nights ago. It is easy to pickup and play, but hard to master. My 18 month old kid can hold the wiimote and shake it around and bust all kinds of fliptricks, but steering, executing speciific tricks is of course harder. The career mode was great, and I think the 3 control setups are really 3 difffernt difficulty settings. The easiest is the wii remote and nunchuck together, as it is really easy to steer and turn your 360s and backflips. Career mode was a breeze with this. Now I am replaying with wii remote only. Harder to get it to spin 360s in the air...but doable. Lots of practice required there, career mode is harder this way. Finally the balance board is touchy, and hard to learn, some tips are to turn the sensitivity down all the way and work your way back up..also go into your gear menu, and skateboard, then tune your trucks to be very tight. that helps with the steering. But after day 3 with it, it is getting better and is much more immersive... best in pools/halfpipes for vert if you ask me...I definately broke a sweat.

Graphics are a mixed bag, I like the art style and though they do have jaggies, they dont matter to me.
you are focused on the skateboard, and the wheels, and lining up your tricks, you dont notice or care that the avatar's legs are jaggy.

They focused on the gameplay and the graphics of the board, wheels, etc...rather have that then a beautiful looking game that doesnt control well.

Finally multiplayer is taking turns, which is cool, as events are usually short. THe best is the Hall of MEat, crash as hard as you can mode. My wife and I have spent hours beating the ^%$# out of our avatars.

Enjoy, if you are a fan of skating, this game is a no brainer.
