SkateRide 1.0

SkateRide Alpha Demo is a low poly simple looking skateboarding game, but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in simplistic but fun game play where you can ride round the skate park full of obstacles and performing stunts.

In this alpha demo you can only use one map but it gives you a skate park with plenty of obstacles to try and tackle and perform stunts over or on although if you’re using a keyboard it can make it quite challenging to get to grips with the stunts and controls and wipeouts will be a plenty!

Although not the most original of games SkateRide brings back a genre that was close to dying out and even if it is a fairly basic game as skating games go it’s still better than Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5.

The game shows a lot of promise and should be interesting to anyone who enjoys skating and the skateboard culture, although once you have mastered the one map that is available it may not hold your interest for much longer afterwards, it would also be helpful if there was some sort of tutorial to explain how to do more complex tricks and stunts but you can still have lots of fun just skating around and doing simple ollies (jumps).
