Reviews for Skateball (#4536)

Review by The Dean of Games on 08 Aug 2012 (Rating: 3)

1988 Ubi Soft Ltd (UK)
by Jonathan Medhurst, Roger Taylor, Nigel Kenward and JAM

This could have been a lot better with finer programming skills. Besides that the first levels should be a lot easier, because the speed of the game doesnt allow for any thought out moves, making almost impossible to do anything, even with lots of pratice. Of course after awhile you discover a key move and thats all you do in the begginer levels, like with beat 'em up games. But once you get to the advanced ones things start to fall and becames virtually impossible for any normal player to enjoy the game.
The idea is good but badly implemmented.

This game reminds me of Blades of Steel by Nintendo Ent. , only a bit more savage ,,,

I love Blades of Steel and I seriously tried to like this one too -I used to practice it in my younger years- , but the difficulty level is so high that I cannot help complaining about its nule playability and diabolical , maddening complexity ... after a while you end up just watching how the comp plays without a rival .


Almost unplayable ,,,


Ps - I´d swear this videogame is based on a film , but I am not sure . :(
