4 stars for concept
I love skating games and Ive been waiting for a longboard game for the 360 or X1 with basically this same concept. Downhill while wait hing your speeds and having to slide around turns. So definitely 4 or 5 stars for concept alone. Then execution is where it fails a little for me. After a few races, Im forced to watch a 30 second ad, which isnt terrible, but for a not-so-great game, its annoying. The graphics are the biggest pet peeve of mine. As Ive been waiting for one, assumed it would be better. But what can you expect from a cheap app game? Id love a few better upgrades for graphics as far as your character. And also more options. Hair, boards, wheels and clothes. Everything only has a few options and I definitely feel there are tons more board styles.
So overall concept 5 stars. Graphics 1. Gameplay 3.
UPDATE: I uninstalled the game months ago after the game deleted all my gear. I tried to send them an email and find out what happened and how to get it back and never got a response.
I reinstalled hoping it was fixed. My gear was still gone but Im giving it another chance. However Im still having this same glitch I did months ago. I do my crew race one day and then a few days later I play again and it says Ive already completed my race for today. No... I just got on. Id send to app support but they never contacted me so Im just changing my review.
