  • Summary: Shaun White Skateboarding, a game that puts an innovative twist on the action-sports genre, is the latest offering in the award-winning franchise developed in collaboration with dual-sport super-athlete, Shaun White. The most ambitious installment yet, Shaun White Skateboarding brings all the sensations of skateboarding to a wide audience making skate dreams possible and allowing players to transform a dull, lifeless city into their own extraordinary skating utopia.

    As players skate, they add color, life and brilliance to the city by extending handrails into endless grinds, carving alleys into half pipes, morphing streets into ramps and much more. Players can skate their way, any way they want, to create their own customized skating world that can also be shared with friends. Shaun White Skateboarding empowers skaters to push the limits of what’s possible.    … Expand

    For gamers who don't enjoy the realism from EA's Skate, Shaun White Skateboarding delivers an enjoyable break from reality. However, hardcore fans of the genre may not find their fix here. Still, Shaun White Skateboarding adds its own unique twist as well as much needed innovation to the skateboarding genre.

    Ubisoft deserves credit for its effort to create a different skating experience. Bending rails and ramps in succession feels like being on a morphing rollercoaster ride, and the shifting cityscape is a treat for the eyes. Unfortunately the rest of the game plays it safe with missions and features one could find in any other skating title.

    Despite all its flaws and its ludicrously over-thought setting, this is actually a pretty enjoyable game. [Issue#198, p.90]

    Shaun White Skateboarding isn't worthy of your time, your patience or most importantly - your money.

    Plain and simple awesomeness!What is it with reviewers and people dogging this game.It is very different then skate and Tony hawk games making it a very cool alternative.This has replay value through the roof!The controls are more like Skate then like Tony hawk project 8 and proving ground.It's got the Skate feel but the game feel of neither one.I honestly don't like his other title,"Shaun White Snowboarding".My favorite is Amped 2 then SSX 3, to this day.Anyway,the graphics could have been much better and the sound is just sub par.But the idea,the concept,the game play,the entertainment factor.We say"oh,I wish there was something different",well here it is so quit complaining.This game is a game that stands on it's own and one that will be talked about for years to come.It's just the fanboys that are the one's that don't see past there own agenda.For being a professional snowboarder and skateboarder the fact that Ubisoft backs it and for good reason.It's brilliant in it's own way and a true gem, a true way to just kick back,play something different and enjoy the heck out of a super cool title!I'm giving this title a 8.9 for the lack of graphics that could of been awesome especially in 2010,and the sound is a little bit lacking,but besides that all I can say is WOW!… Expand
