Thoughts and Impressions: Shaun White Skateboarding (Episode 3)

Thoughts and Impressions: Shaun White Skateboarding (Episode 3) is the third episode in the Thoughts and Impressions series. This episode was released on October 1, 2015.

Review Summary
Shaun White Skateboarding is a skateboarding game that does not live up to the Tony Hawk game. It's not an open skate world like the EA Skate game. It's like you have to make the world. The game was like De Blob, but you transform the world instead of painting the world.

All the challenges in the game were basic with no challenging aspects. Instead, they were the basic like go get this or that, run through gates, run through that and score a whole bunch of tricks. However, there was nothing added that was interesting for the challenges.

The good thing is that the graphics look decent for a Wii game, and the characters look like cartoon people which was okay because the game looked still great. Also, there is a lot to do with challenges, and there were unlockable which were a plus.

In the game, you could do tricks pretty easily, it's a simple version. Sometimes it does not respond well, but the motion controls work well with the gameplay. However, tricks were not user-friendly as sometimes I felt like I was doing tricks over other tricks. It does not feel like doing real tricks. Instead, it feels simplified and does have ease with new users like the Tony Hawk or EA Skate games.

Also, I liked that the backgrounds looked nice and everything connects well. It even gives you tutorials.

Verdict
Shaun White Skateboarding was not the best skateboarding game out there. Also, it's not the best from Ubisoft, but not the worst. The game was not the best, not the worst, but somewhere in the middle. The game was received with the word Okay.
