Thankfully, Glass Bottom Games has made something that feels wonderful to play. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, the likelihood of going around outside of missions isn’t appealing. Much of the controls are a carbon copy of THPS, but I was totally fine with that. Some places seem hard to reach at first, but every new mission gives you an opportunity to become familiar with the control system. These additional objectives give you a reason to explore every area. You can unlock new music tracks to have playing in the background, as well as items of clothing. Plenty to findĬollectables litter the world of SkateBIRD. It’s dumb, but part of what makes it so silly and enjoyable. The missions you get given range from getting a certain score within a time frame and collecting items, to falling into the clouds or screaming at the floor. Looking for NPCs with missions help you to progress to the next area. Instead, locations offer plenty of missions, given to you by the cast of supporting feathered friends. It’s the structure of the campaign that differs greatly from Mr Hawk’s outings. You can pull of some sweet combos by mixing grabs, flips, manuals, and grinds. It’s the one negative that does affect your enjoyment, and when you’re trapped in a soup bowl, it takes a while to get out.ĭespite some of the loose controls, SkateBIRD is rather satisfying. SkateBIRD isn’t quite as tight as THPS, especially when going from stationary. Every bird can double jump, providing a bit of extra height to get over long drops. It unashamedly pays homage to the Neversoft series, but throws in a few additional moves for good measure. Plenty of obstacles litter the various locations, meaning you can grind on stuff, as well as performing manuals and everything in between. Much like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, you can pull off a ton of moves my grabbing your board and flipping as you ollie at the peak of a ramp. SkateBIRD is ridiculous, but in a stupidly fun and self-aware way.ĬHECK THIS OUT: Astria Ascending has everything a classic RPG needs to be a success | Hands-on preview SkateBIRD: Fly like an eagle One that I never foresaw, was one featuring cardinals, owls, and kingfishers grinding on straws and pizza boxes whilst collecting blowtorches and duck tape. There’s a wide open market for skateboarding titles, especially ones that are easy to pick up and play. Perhaps it only found its feet after someone at Glass Bottom Games thought about the name Tony Hawk, and changed it to tiny hawk, thus setting this weird premise in motion.
