But if you happen to come across what he has been protecting his entire existence, then so help you evade his patrol and dodge his one-sided mission, before his fire-engine eyes spot you and his robotic, authoritarian voice shouts from the tree line: "TARGET SPOTTED." But hey, if you ignore him and let him do his job, he will not even acknowledge you. The first and most obvious example of this is that your bird can double ollie at any time. If you run, he could easily catch up with his wing span behind him and the pressurized air thruster on his back giving him the liftoff he needs to begin chase. Skatebird Review What I Like Gameplay While the gameplay in Skatebird isn’t perfect, it is precisely what you would expect from a game that features skateboarding birds. Above all else, skate birds try their best 19. ![]() Every bit of him was built to aid in authority. Grind on bendy straws, kickflip over staplers, and carve killer lines through cardboard and sticky tape parks. His entire body is a cell with his ribs act as the bars. Protect the crystal and detain anyone who apposes. Even the meme potential of this game feels heavily contrived, like this game only exists because "HAHAHAHA PIGEON ON SKATEBOARD SO FUNNIE XDDDDDD." Games like SkateBIRD make me thankful that Game Pass exists, because I think it's criminal to charge $17.99 for this trash.Cold, emotionless, and unintentionally sarcastic, Tutelar was constructed with ONE goal. But for all the things that SkateBIRD does right, it does about ten different things wrong. The Screm button is also a really good way to prolong combos that doesn't utterly break the game like the Revert trick in THPS3 and later Tony Hawk's games does. The FANCY meter, which bases your speed, hangtime and jump height on how many tricks you can perform without bailing, is a good idea. I will give Glass Bottom some credit though. Missions and NPCs aren't properly highlighted nor signposted and while the missions themselves would be easy with working physics, wrangling with the controls makes them far more difficult than they should be. Playing through the game's story mode is also an exercise in frustration. I have genuinely clipped (and bailed) through objects and have been stuck on obstacles. The transfer button doesn't work properly and just flings you away from a quarter pipe without standing you upright or transferring you to the other pipe. Your character controls with the finesse and precision of a drunk driver. The controls and physics are notoriously bad. Tape (Classical Goes NeoClassical, Dam, Empty Heavy, Find Your Way Out by Illicit Nature linktr. At the very top do a transfer and you’ll get the decks. Fill up your fancy meter and blast as high as you can. I don't know whether this is to mask performance issues or to give the perspective that you're playing a bird (which doesn't make sense since the game's in third-person.) This blur cannot be switched off, by the way - at least not on the Xbox One version. At the very top of the tall smokestack at the lowest level of the skatepark. Graphically it looks ugly and has nauseating amounts of blur on distant objects. SkateBIRD is a shockingly bad game for many reasons. Yes, even THPS5 is better than this trash. But their transgressions with the Tony Hawk's series are paltry compared to the turd that Glass Bottom Games plopped onto storefronts. I thought they were an utterly incompetent developer that couldn't implement working physics and good game design in skateboarding games to save their own lives. ![]() I thought they were an utterly Can't believe I'm about to say this, but I owe the workers and management of Robomodo an apology.
