A sporting game with a very clear reference to the "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" series. This time, however, we use rollers to perform tricks.

Technical aspects

Rolling, released on PS2 and Xbox, is a very dynamic arcade game, similar in many aspects to the cult Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. The game was developed by Rage Software. The company has also developed games such as Lamborghini, Rocky or Gun Metal.

Mechanics

In Rolling, we perform crazy tricks, exploring interesting locations, such as the most famous skate parks in the world. The main difference, however, is that we do not use skateboards to perform acrobatics. Players use equally popular rollers. This does not have a fundamental impact on the course of the actual game, although you can find some important novelties.

The player can, of course, create their character. Nothing stands in the way of playing the real champions of this sport. These include Cesar Mora, Fabiola da Silva and Jon Julio. Also, many hidden characters can be unlocked as the game progresses. The controls are quite complex. The list of available tricks includes about 250 acrobatics. Some tricks are also initially blocked.

Game modes

The developer has prepared 10 basic levels where you can compete. Just like in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, you have a lot of freedom. The player can also perform tasks in any order. It is also possible to participate in direct competitions aimed at selecting the best skater. They take place in real skate parks, located, among others, in the USA or Japan. The game also has a built-in level editor. Rolling has a simple multiplayer for two people.

Technical aspects

Visually, the game looks quite good. Maps on which tasks are performed are very large and they have been filled with a whole lot of interactive objects. The soundtrack consists mainly of tracks prepared by such bands as The Hives or Chuck D.
