    Very disappointed. Coming from a huge THPS and EA Skate background. (I also skate IRL) I get it, you have to break old habits and learn a new control system, but that's not even what I'm complaining about. The game is incomplete in it's current state. The character customization is the biggest joke I have ever seen. You can have hair, or you can have a hat, you can't have both. I finishedVery disappointed. Coming from a huge THPS and EA Skate background. (I also skate IRL) I get it, you have to break old habits and learn a new control system, but that's not even what I'm complaining about. The game is incomplete in it's current state. The character customization is the biggest joke I have ever seen. You can have hair, or you can have a hat, you can't have both. I finished the tutorial challenge and didn't even get a congrats or a notification that I completed it. On top of that, I had to do it switch, because the game forgot to add a goofy version.

    The world/level design is nice, but it feels lifeless and blah.

    For today's technology, I would expect a lot more. This game would be amazing if it came out 20 years ago, but with the technology of today, this is pathetic. Not worth $40, maybe $10. (Even at that price, I still wouldn't buy it unless it went on sale.) This is not worth your money.

    I got a refund for the game. I'll wait for THPS and Skate 4.    … Expand

    A glitchy mess, with lifeless maps and horrible graphics. The very few maps that they offer get tiring very quickly, The character models look absolutely horrendous and there just is not anywhere near anough content to be worth paying full price right now.

    Garbage, DO NOT buy. Buggy, unfinished, unpolished, lacking content, terrible control scheme, barebones levels. Waste of money.

    Muito ruim! Jogabilidade esquisita, manobras com os dois analógicos é horrível.
    Espera algo mais parecido com Skate da EA e entregaram um jogo sem tempero nenhum fora os mapas feios e com texturas horríveis que só enganam o jogador. (Úse o modo de Spawn que irá ver o quão ruim é)

    I would rather eat glass than play this **** **** game again. There is not one good thing about this game. The music is so terrible it makes you want to dig your ****ing eardrums out with a fork. And why does your guy fall like he has rigamortis. This game wouldn't even been good for Nintendo 64 as its more like a mobile game.

Do yourself a favor and spend your money drugs because there even better than this godawful game. Dog **** is what i think of this.… Expand

    At the moment, Skater XL feels more like a skateboarding and lifestyle simulator rather than a fully fleshed-out game. There’s plenty to try and the difficulty level will keep enthusiasts glued to their screens in hopes of nailing those elusive combos, but as a gaming experience, it comes up short.

    There is a solid fundament in Skater XL, and there is a hit of a potentially formidable skating sand box. But there is a heavy layer of polish that needs to be applied before the game is noteworthy.

    Skater XL introduces an innovative and very satisfying control system, but that's all: it feels more like an early access game, still lacking any meaningful content like a story mode or challenges/missions. It's also in need of a visual overhaul, as the skate parks feel too empty and lifeless, skaters lack any expressivity and the overall graphical fidelity is quite low.
