Summary
Skate It has Nintendo players riding with the skate pros, owning the best spots in San Vanelona and pulling off the sickest tricks using the popular FlickIt controls. Loaded with all-new gameplay features, Skate It breaks new ground by introducing innovative support for the Wii Balance Board which gives players a fresh way to create their own signature skateboarding style. Skate It unleashes the FlickIt revolution on to the Nintendo platforms, letting gamers use the Wii remote or the Nintendo DS stylus to string together their best tricks for the ultimate skate line. The Wii remote becomes a skateboard and reacts to gestures that mirror actual skate flips and moves. Players can also deepen this experience by planting their feet on the Wii Balance Board. Skate It brings the Skate franchise to a new level of creative ingenuity and gameplay excellence. [Electronic Arts]

GameSpy
Skate It's fun comes from the using the Stylus in creative ways to pull off tricks that aren't really exaggerated at all. Sure, grinding is a little easier on this version of the game than any other console, but most of the other tricks could be seen on any standard skate video. The uniqueness of this game comes from how you play, not what you pull off. Skate It isn't perfect, but it's no poser either.

Skate It turned out really well on the Nintendo DS, and offers the same challenge and sense of satisfaction that the design did on the consoles. It also has an enormous amount of features to bulk up its list of things to do.

This is a great opportunity for boarders and the gamers who love them to learn an innovative control scheme, pull off some tricks, and design their dream skate parks.

Intuitive controls and a lengthy list of features make Skate It a good choice if you want to go skateboarding on your DS.

There's loads to do. [Feb 2009, p.77]
Jolt Online Gaming UK
If you know your laser flips from your rocket airs and don’t mind enduring a little hand cramp while you train your brain to skate and draw at the same time, then Skate It on the DS packs an impressive simulation of skateboarding.

Less accessible and trickier to control, but it offers similar satisfaction to the console Skates. [Feb 2009, p.82]

Skate It for Nintendo DS offers a fresh and successful take on skating controls. The story mode is not so deeply but the multiplayer mode has a lengthy list of features. The realistic skating action comes to the NDS.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
Your enjoyment of Skate It on DS will largely be determined by your enjoyment of skateboarding in general. The controls are fiendishly difficult but, if you're into the sport, they're rewarding to master.
Read Full Review >Pocket Gamer UK
Although it has a few rough edges, Skate It nevertheless ollies over the competition and triumphantly kick-flips its way to the top of the DS skateboarding pile.
Read Full Review >Gamervision
Once again, EA has managed to innovate in a genre that had grown stale and tedious. With its numerous graphical glitches, control issues, and overall lack of polish, it’s obvious that Skate It is a first effort. Still, pulling off big tricks (and even small ones) can be very satisfying, and there’s a real feeling that this is a series that will benefit greatly from further iteration.
Read Full Review >1UP
Solid controls, multiplayer options, and creation tools stand out, though some jagged textures and their frustrating side effects hamper an otherwise solid execution.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
You spend more time keeping a grip on the handheld than dealing with the game's challenges. [Jan 2009, p.90]
