"Big City Skater" is a very interesting program. It has a decent speed and awesome graphics. The opening screen is a little weird looking, and it's kind of hard to make out the letters if you don't know what you're looking at. The little skateboard sprite, though, on the homescreen is awesome, and looks exactly like a rotating skateboard.
Some things I don't like about this program are that after you press a key on the homescreen, you jump right into the game - no instructions or paused screen telling you you're going into the game – nothing. You just go straight into the game and hope you know how to work it. Seeing as how this is a beta, this could be fixed in future versions of the file.
Also, when you perform a trick, you have to hold the combination as you jump instead of while you are in the air. This means to do a trick such as the “backside 180”, you have to press [2nd] to gain jump power + [Alpha] + [Left] all at the same time and release to jump. Usually, this results in not being able to jump, but doing the trick sends you head on into the next building. Also, this means no trick combinations.
Overall, though, this is a pretty good game with some awesome graphics:
Speed: 10/10
Graphics: 10/10
Originality: 8/10
Replayability: 6/10
Overall: 34/40 (85%) Good Job. |

“Big City Skater” is a worthy successor to the author's “TI-Sk8brd”. Even though it is only in beta, it a great game and it shows lots of promise.
Graphics - 10/10. They are really awesome. The tricks look realistic, and the scrolling city buildings look nice. The city skyline background is very well done - it moves at a slower rate to give the appearance of depth.
Controls - 7/10. The controls take a little getting used to. It not your natural tendency to have to hold down the trick keys before you jump.
Gameplay - 7/10. The random element is nice, and it can be challenging, but it gets boring after a while, especially without scoring. But the variety of tricks is nice.
Overall - 8/10. You should download this and try it out. |
