It feels as if Glass Bottom Games spent all their energy high fiving each other over the idea of putting tiny birds on tiny boards and making real world environments into skate parks. It isn’t that SkateBIRD is bad, there is just nothing there to make any part of it more than ok. Controlling the camera was harder than controlling the board, most times. Last but not least, there is a camera system that seems to have a deep desire to fight you every step of the game. Although the soundtrack can get meaty, if you really want to hunt for all the tapes, it is rarely anything more than background white noise on a handheld. Hitting a stall almost jarringly ignores physics with how it sticks. Board tricks feel so small that an ollie looks identical to a kickflip. The trouble is when you are looking for that last one or two but you keep seeing the same few you have already completed the missions for. Sometimes requiring you to aimlessly skate around a room until you happen to notice a bird standing idly by. Once the cute whimsy of tiny birds riding Tech-Decks through multiple makeshift parks made up of bedroom and office items wears off, and it quickly does, there isn’t much of a skate game underneath.įinding your previously mentioned feathered friends to hand you a mission can be a chore in itself. Unfortunately, the levels aren’t really all that fun.
Enjoying the level, rather than just going after missions, is key to any skateboard game. That, over and over again, is the root of SkateBIRD.

While free styling around levels, you also grab cosmetic items and sound tracks to add to your mix tapes, making your bird as unique as you want it to be.
Completing tricks and missions check them off your checklist, allowing you to access new parks. There is also a rotating compass below your avatar, showing you the way to the next closest goal, to make it that much easier. For the most part, all the missions are fairly simple and nearby so there shouldn’t be too much issue completing most. Once found, pressing the L button accepts the mission, giving you a time limit to perform one, or multiple, tricks or achievements.
SKATEBIRD PRICE HOW TO
You will learn how to traverse the area, perform basic tricks, combine them, and how to take on missions.įinding another bird and skating up close to them, you can view missions they offer. This area gets you acquainted with the movement mechanics and gameplay in SkateBIRD. As the name implies, it is a makeshift skate park set up in your “big friend’s” bedroom, complete with discarded laundry and cardboard cups and empty pizza boxes. After scrolling through a number of species and design choices, you are launched into your first room, Humble Bedginings. The game opens with you choosing your bird type and wardrobe. If this is also you and you want the opinion of someone in this mind set, gnarly. I can’t claim to be as enamored with the franchise as others so I won’t pretend to. They are the ones who started skating and listening to ska and punk because of the series. There is a love there that can not be replicated. I just know Tony Hawk people are DIE-HARD TONY HAWK people. I say this not to mean that I didn’t enjoy them, I did.
