Manufacturer's Description
Shaun White Skateboarding, a game that puts an innovative twist on the action-sports genre, is the latest offering in the award-winning franchise developed in collaboration with dual-sport super-athlete, Shaun White. The most ambitious instalment yet, Shaun White Skateboarding brings all the sensations of skateboarding to a wide audience making skate dreams possible and allowing players to transform a dull, lifeless city into their own extraordinary skating utopia.
As players skate, they add colour, life and brilliance to the city by extending handrails into endless grinds, carving alleys into half pipes, morphing streets into ramps and much more. Players can skate their way, any way they want, to create their own customized skating world that can also be shared with friends. Shaun White Skateboarding empowers skaters to push the limits of what’s possible.
Key Features
TRANSFORM – Create incredible skate lines using city structures, stretch and twist handrails to dizzying heights, empty fountains to create bowls, make alleys into epic quarter pipes and so much more. New areas are revealed, better skate lines are created and buildings are transformed. Creativity is rewarded with points, gear and new skating opportunities.
INNOVATE – With 80+ skate tricks hand-picked by Shaun (including a Shaun creation called the “Armadillo”), enjoy a unique and fun gameplay experience where you can shape, influence and transform the city while pulling off authentic skate moves. Experience all the sensations of an expert skater – the big air, sticking a landing, eating it and more!
EXPLORE – Find or create skate spots you’ve only dreamed about. The city is stretched over massive districts with tons of challenges to complete, including race, collect, narrative missions and more.
ENGAGE – Jump online to challenge your friends in co-operative or adversarial modes: online or local split-screen. Create your own maps, play with friends and see how you rank against players from across the world using online leaderboards.

Fun:
I had great hopes for this game, having seen some good video clips of it earlier on in the year, i even pre ordered it.
First impressions, i must admit i wasn't overly impressed, when opening the box i found the manual consisted of a handle of pages, about 5, most of which just covered legal details, credits and half a page for the controller controls. There were no in-game details of anything that would make you hurry up and put the game in the drive and no trick list. I must admit i'm not a manual reader but i do like to have a little bit of info about the game structure.
Anyway, i Inserted the game and was really looking forward to a weekend of skateboarding, but how wrong was i?! The game was back in its box after 30mins and was now going to be collecting dust!
Why was it so bad - Well, the opening video and graphics are shocking for this "2010" game, which really surprised me seeing it was made by Ubisoft and its 2010, not 1990. In fact its so dated and badly done i thought i had been sent a pre release version and had to check the box! The skater design - well, what skater design, it feels like we have gone right back to the realms of the ps1. Hardly any boards, clothes, styles to choose from, and the haircuts have to be the worst part in the whole game. The world seems very samey, same cars, same people, same jumps, same rails.... There seems to be no free play or tutorials, and all you need to do to unlock the grey world is skate round doing ollies. The trick controls are doubled up, so you can ollie with the X button (which jumps ridiculously high and you constantly miss the rail) and the right stick, making it slightly confusing.
I definitely wouldn't advise buying this game or even renting it, its a real let down in all aspects - graphics, gameplay, design, feel, quality... need i go on!. I think the main let down are graphics, they are so bad, it feels as if it has just been rushed out the door ready to be on the shelves in time for christmas. AVOID!

Fun:
I am an 11 year old kid, who likes to play a skateboarding game every once in a while, and if the game is good, it can be quite addicting. But, as I saw a trailer of this game, which was an outstandingly exciting clip, I trailed all the way to Fareham to buy this thing from Game.
When I got home though, and put this '2010 thriller game' into my ps3, I was immediately unimpressed, if not devastated! The graphics: What? Is this what you call graphics? More like 1990 Nintendo, where there was no handheld games. The tricks: There are only 25 tricks on here, and another 5 which you have to unlock, and the controls are so confusing that you can only ollie and make grey people turn colourful and play some damn guitar. There is no beginning or end, the streets turn grey again, and the language- Well, it's not exactly for a 12 year old.
All in all, this game could make you cry. It is infuriating and annoying and stupid, with the main character being Shaun White who is actually a snowboarder. So I recommend buying Skate 3 or Tony Hawk's project 8. Don't waste your money!
