Information Review

Shaun White Skateboarding is a sports video game for Nintendo Wii, set for release on October 24, 2010. The game is developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.

The game puts an innovative twist on the action-sports genre. Developed in collaboration with dual-sport super-athlete, Shaun White, Shaun White Skateboarding brings all the sensations of skateboarding to a wide audience, making skate dreams possible and allowing players to transform a dull, lifeless city into an extraordinary skating utopia.

Players will discover a deserted city, empty except for a few holdouts who are thrilled to have the city to themselves. Through their skating players can transform the dull and gray city into a thriving metropolis by extending handrails into endless grinds, carving alleys into half pipes, morphing streets into ramps and much more. Forgotten plazas will turn into ultimate skating spots, and unlikely areas (like a train station or amusement park) will become skating playgrounds. Shaun White, with the help of our resident DJ, will guide players from the beginning, finding fresh spots to skate and spinning tunes. Shaun White Skateboarding empowers skaters to push the limits of what's possible.

Shaun White Skateboarding game features:

•Transformation, a creativity-driven gameplay innovation – Discover incredible skate lines using city structures, stretch and twist handrails to dizzying heights, empty fountains to create bowls, make alleys into epic quarter pipes and so much more. New areas are revealed, better skate lines are created and buildings are transformed. Creativity is rewarded with points, gear and new skating opportunities.
