Myself and skateboards have roughly the same relationship as whales and desserts probably best not put together. But skateboarding videogames were a whole different story, and the Tony Hawk series appealed to me on just about every level. There aren’t many games I claim to be great at, but Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Pro Skater 2 are amongst the few I’d say I’m bloody good at. And then EA came out with something different: Skate, a whole new take on skateboarding in videogames. Skate’s control scheme has you flicking the right stick to pull off ollies, kickflips and every other trick in the game. An ollie is as simple as pulling back on the stick and then flicking it straight up. A kickflip is the same, except on the upwards stroke you push the stick just a touch off-angle. Grinds are handled simply by the way you land on a rail, wall or curb.
In the original Skate I found this a nightmare at first coming from Tony Hawks games I couldn’t even ollie up a curb and ended up quitting the game entirely in a fit of rage. It took me weeks before I went back and patiently retrained my brain to Skate’s unique way of handling a board. It was worth the effort, though, because once you get good at Skate you feel like a king. The control system that once felt weird becomes intuitive and natural. While Skate doesn’t go as completely over-the-top with its physics as the Tony Hawk games, it’s still fairly arcadey. Skate 3 in particular can let you get away with some spectacular stupidity, especially as you learn the ins and outs of how it will try to automatically twist you into wall rides and such. But there’s a hardcore mode if you felt like something more challenging, tweaking the physics to be more unforgiving, taming the speed and being far less generous ollie height. The singleplayer story mode is worth playing and is enjoyable in its own way, and features a bunch of real-life pro Skaters, plus Jason Lee (former professional skateboarder) of My Name is Earl fame.
