Technical aspects

Skate City is an arcade game developed by Snowman. During the game, players travel through the maps, perfoming tricks on a skateboard. The game was created with Apple Arcade in mind.

Mechanics

Skate City takes players to a number of cities around the world (including Los Angeles and Oslo). The whole whing is shown in a side view. Players move on a skateboard, using the environment to perform tricks. A certain number of points is awarded for each trick, depending on its level of sophistication; however, one should not overdo it, as too much risk can result in a fall.

Technical aspects

A photographic mode has been implemented in Skate City, enabling us to take photos of the tricks we are performing.

GameSpew: 7 / 10 by Richard Seagrave

Skate City isn’t going to wow you. If you have the patience to master its awkward controls, however, it’s a game you can keep going back to, delving into it for as long or little as you please. With its action more grounded, it’s not as exciting to play as some of its competitors, but some will enjoy its more technical gameplay and showboating element that arises out of its video editing features.

PlayStation Universe: 6.5 / 10 by Sebastian Hawden

Simplistic, light on content, and if played in longer sessions, repetitive. However, when played in short bursts and after you have got to grips with some of the games nuances it can be fun and rewarding. There are better skateboarding games out there without a doubt but if you have played them all and want to shred, Skate City does have its merits.
