If I bailed close to an edge the game would reset me in positions I couldnвЂ™t get out of.

To make matters worse, I experienced getting stuck way too much. The environments вЂ“ although original вЂ“ donвЂ™t look all that slick and the tricks often feel underwhelming because of the bird aesthetic.

A skatepark that could be fitting for a birdвЂ¦ДЄs a Tony Hawk Pro Skater clone, Skatebird doesnвЂ™t do a good job with making the skating fun. For instance, the rims on the halfpipe are made from straws, a toothbrush is used as a grindable object, magazines against a wall act as ramps, вЂ¦ The people of Glass Bottom Games used very original ideas to create a believable skatepark from everyday objects. Skatebird uses the setup most known from the micro machines games in which it makes a mini world from everyday items. You can вЂњdouble ollieвЂќ by pressing the ollie button in mid-air giving you some new options.ДЄlthough the novelty of playing as a bird is marketed as the innovative part of the game, the skate spots were the real star in my opinion. The advantage of being a bird is the addition of having wings. Luckily the layout is pretty much the same like it was in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. When you land these tricks the game shows what trick you performed which was handy because visually I couldnвЂ™t really tell. A kickflip, heelflip, and even the grabs look more or less the same. Your bird can do most skate tricks a human can do but due to the shorter limbs, it doesnвЂ™t really look all that different. The main disadvantage you have is in your limbs and how it transfers visually. With the help of other birds, youвЂ™ll discover different skate spots and learn the ins and outs of skating.Д«eing a bird comes with some advantages and disadvantages.

After getting a rad outfit and a sick deck you are off on you big day out adventure. Through skateboarding, you hope to solve all the problems you face and even help out Big Friend along the way.

Being a lonely bird with loads of free time, you decide to take up skateboarding instead.

The Skate dream Big Friend had is long over. The job takes up more time than anticipated leading Big Friend to be barely home to even take care of you. Skatebird is the pet of an unnamed human referred to as Big Friend. Yet the people at Glass Bottom Games thought it would be a great idea to put birds on skateboards in Skatebird. When I think about skating IвЂ™m not thinking about birds. Most attempts at making a new skate game turn out to be a watered-down Tony Hawk Pro Skater clone with less impressive characters.
