    Skater XL: A Skateboarding Noob's Journey



    Even as a non-skating kid growing up, being introduced to the Tony Hawk series was life-changing...

    Shoot, if Skater XL was a problem that awaited rewards to be earned, I wonder how casuals will warm up to Session. It has a few more pains along the way of the dual-stick/trigger control scheme, but I love that hardcore aspect myself.

      I didn't even know about this title and I may try it out. Well written Rob, well written.
      Playing NBA 2K feels like a job that pays minimum wage and then cuts your pay when you get your Bill's right to make it even harder to succeed. I do not like this game but it's the only one in town.

        I picked this up after reading this and I'm sure glad I did. I got session about a month ago and I just couldn't do the controls. I played about an hour and couldn't land a thing so I gave up and havent touched it since. That experience really scared me off of skater XL. I managed to get the hang of the controls for this game instantly and just enough to make me feel like it's not a futile effort to land tricks.

        I used to run line after line in Skate trying to make cool runs so I'm good with the lack of direction.

        I will say I find it extremely weird to be skating downtown LA with no other people like I'm in the movie Legend but it's not a game breaker.
