Skate or Die! It received a port to the NES where it sold over , copies and, with its catchy chiptunes, planted itself firmly in skateboard game history. In Skate or Die! Although the tricks are basic, the Skate or Die! Developers Easy Day Studios are the team behind the massively popular Skater XL smartphone game and, realizing the popularity and demand for a more substantive game, have brought Skater XL to more powerful hardware.
The difference in hardware shows, as you might expect. Skater XL uses a similar control scheme to Skate and uses input from real-world tricks. That means practice makes perfect, and you'll pick up and learn more tricks as you explore the Skater XL world.
Adding to that, the Skater XL world is filled with awesome spots, including some real-world locations that mimic their counterparts, such as downtown Los Angeles. At the time of writing, Skater XL is available on Steam Early Access and is scheduled to launch in the summer of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is terrible, and we would strongly advise you to avoid it.
Buggy, laggy gameplay, and no innovation within the game itself make THPS5 one of the worst entries in the series. An online hub, missions for skaters, strange decisions regarding the special bar and trick limitations, and some lifeless level design combine to assign this title to the scrap heap.
For us, Skate 2 remains the best skateboarding game of all time. It hit that sweet spot of freedom, sandbox play, a semi-storyline to guide you through, and heaps of tricks and spots to try out. Looking to the future, Skater XL looks like it could ascend the best skateboarding game throne, knocking all other competitors out of the way. Skater XL isn't the only skateboarding game on the horizon either, with the almost fiendishly difficult Session also under development and available in Steam Early Access.

Its been forever since i played it so i don't remember it that well though. Tony Hawk had some pretty good games this gen. Project 8 had good graphics for the time and an open world, plus nail a trick was fun, it was a bit unstable with the framerate though.
Proving Ground was kind of weak but i still had fun with it. Nail the Grab and Manual was probably the best thing added there. I thought Tony Hawk HD was awesome and still do not get the hate for it. All i ever heard people complain about it was barebones which i don't see. Sure you only get 7 levels, but for an Arcade game thats not that bad, i think people had unrealistic expectations wanting all the level from 1 and 2 back.
I thought it had enough content with the modes and levels put into it. What do you need help on? Cancel X. Topic Archived Page 1 of 2 Last.

The key is in the way it makes players not only pull off tricks but also perfectly time their landings, meaning a massive points-scoring run can quickly become a disaster with just one mistimed landing.
