Closing Comments
Skate It comes highly recommended. The original Skate rejuvenated skating games with a new control scheme and a real sense of freedom, and that success carries over to the Wii. If you already played the 360 or PS3 version you won't find much new here, but it's great to have it on Nintendo's platform. This is a big package, including a long story mode, a huge variety of challenges, multiplayer games, a great soundtrack, and balance board support. It's too bad the balance board controls aren't friendlier, but I'm perfectly happy just using the remote and nunchuk. Aside from the sleek menus it's not much to look at, but the gameplay is engaging enough to overlook the visuals. Scanning your environment, plotting a long line of tricks, then figuring out how to pull it all off is very rewarding. Buy it.

IGN Ratings for Skate It (Wii)

Rating	Description
out of 10	click here for ratings guide
8.5	Presentation Quite the package: lots of gameplay variety, multiplayer, balance board support, great soundtrack, and friendly menus.
7.0	Graphics The menus all have a sleek, edgy style -- too bad the in-game graphics are so bland.
8.5	Sound Great stuff from hip-hop to punk to classic rock. Your cameraman's constant encouragement and tips are nice.
8.5	Gameplay Skate It will demand something specific from you, but then hand over the keys for you to figure out how best to complete the task. Few other Wii games provide this much freedom.
8.5	Lasting Appeal A long single-player mode, almost endless possibilities for how to complete challenges, plus multiplayer should keep you skating for a while.
8.5 Great	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)
