As the name suggests, the new game from the EA Games, Skate It, is mainly intended for skateboarding enthusiasts, a continuously growing phenomenon, year after year more and more young people choose to become skateboarders.
Skate It will be the result of a collaboration between EA Games si Skater Nations because the version for iPhone / iPod Touch it will be a port of the one on the console, and the expectations of fans of this kind of games are high because the previous applications were a total disappointment, so all the pressure is on the shoulders of those from EA Games to produce a very good game both in terms of graphics and gameplay.
As before, Skate It it will be based on the accelerometer and swipe gestures, by simply pressing a button your character will be able to do all kinds of schemes with the board. Speaking of characters, you will be able to play either with characters representing big names in the world of skateboarding or you can create your own character with which you can win competitions/awards to increase your fame in the game world.
Skate It it will be available sometime around May of this year, when new details appear I will keep you informed.
