Skate It

After the success with Skate, EA was ready for a new challenge. With the Balance Board everything was ready to let a skategame arrive Nintendo Wii. Electronic Arts saw the opportunity and took it!

Almost a half year later (released 20 november 2008) I am sitting on a PC and write about it. I have buyed Skate it, also got the Balance Board, and then tried to play on the Balance Board. You could set how sensitiv the Balance Board is going to be and do tricks around in the city. Sometimes it's easier to just take the Wii Remote and play with that instead, because sometimes there's could be a little difficult to handle the skateboard with the Balance Board. But, I must say that it is a lot funnier to use the Balance Board that makes it a little harder. I mean, it works great! The tricks can sometimes be a little randomly, but at all the tricksystem works good.

The game is set to San Vanelona just like in Skate, but this time San Vanelona have been damaged by earthquakes. So you have to use the rest of the city to learn new tricks and make cool movies to get to a new city. You will sooner be able to travel to cities like London, Paris, Shanghai and Rio de Janeiro.

This is a game that I recommend you to have a look on, especially if you own a Wii Balance Board!
