Skate It - Nintendo DS

usually skateboarding games on a handheld console just requires u to pull a string of button presses together to do them tricks. well skate it makes full use of the ds' touch screen and stylus so that instead of button presses u need to swipe ur stylus to do a certain trick.

it kinda needs some getting used to at first. but u'd be grinding and flipping in no time.

the gameplay is straight forward enough. u start off skating at ur local park and then gradually build your skills unlocking real life skaters that u can use in the free skating mode.

you can also build your own skate park with items that u can unlock from playing the career mode.

i've yet to finish the game. been finding it difficult to get pass some of the challenges. its a fun game nevertheless.

u control ur skater thru the bottom screen..

overall i give it an 8/10
