Skate Jam - Pro Skateboarding

The game feels and looks like THPS1. the controls are difficult. the controls need custom positions. I can't swipe right because all the trick buttons are against the right of my screen and too close together. seams quite difficult for a skate game. I've played better android skate games with easier controls and better graphics. Did Tony Hawk actually agree to this cheesy game? The original TH games were ground breaking for its time. This game feels like 2005 in 2019. You stole from skate party2

was super excited when i saw this was coming out as Tony Hawk for PS 1 & 2 are some of my all time favorite games, however i do not like these controls that much.. its also really annoying that anytime you fall or when you start a session you have to swipe for them to start going especially cus they're timed.. maybe ill get used to it after a while, we'll see but for right now its really annoying.. also hope a paid version will be available because these ads aren't cool either

this is the only mobile game that makes me want to throw my phone. So infuriating how the game can randomly stop your trick when there is no clear reason as to why or it seems like it just decides "youre not going to finish this grind, off your board you go". the joy stick needs work as well. too easy to be turning and your thumb os too close to the edge of your phone so you lose control of the rider. Really looked forward to this game, but after 2 weeks, im uninstalling it.

Okay. So after giving the devs some more time to patch this game, its now playable. That being said, its still not as good as the proskater games. It doesnt help that the controls are still kind of iffy. If I want to grind a rail I should be able to land on the rail and grind automatically. Adding an unneccesary button to press midair just ruins momentum and make me bail more. Also, microtransactions suck. Overall, it still needs a lot of work. Go play Epic Skater 2 or OlliOlli instead.

You have to watch ads to even play, then more ads after each round. Ridiculous for a game that doesn't even work properly. Falling through the ground constantly, some controls simply DO NOT work as they should, heck even the tutorial is broken (that whole map is). Even without a toxic amouny of ads, achievements don't work, half the time you can only change your board and not your outfit, etc... Sad cuz Tony Hawk pro skater (what this game tried to be) was legendary.

I can't believe Tony Hawk is happy with this game. The controls are horrible. I didn't go into this expecting it to be as smooth as Pro Skater (from back in the day) however, I also didn't expect the controls to be absolute garbage. Do the world a favor and don't waste precious bandwidth and data downloading this game.

make manual double tap instead of double up joystick. it would help alot. the game starts out very difficult for new players. veterans won't have a problem but a noob would find the very first goals impossible. also it needs some smoothing, my character has to Ollie like thirty feet away from a rail to grind it without soaring over it. I think the object size is just scaled a bit too small. there could be more character customisation too. frankly this is limited in ways very similar to thps1.

Camera needs work. It goes crazy on ramps and tight spaces. Good luck if your character gets stuck between tight spaces. It'll just bounce back and forth like a ball. Give some setting to zoom out camera. I find it more intuitive to swipe down to skate and swipe up to stop on the controls. Give us that option. Also setting to have character start game on goofy foot stance as the default.

It could be better. It has some nostalgia to it since I played Underground 2 as a kid, but it doesn't really do it for me. The game itself seems very repetitive (soundtrack, gameplay, etc) and suchlike. I don't like how the time is limited to 2 min max for each session, and the score objectives are a little bit overkill, because you could only score so much in 2 min. The ingame currency is OK, but why do you have to pay for tournaments? And besides, If you want more than what they give, pay up.

So disappointed in this game this has got to be one of the worst ports I have played for mobile. played Tony Hawk's pro skater religiousness growing up and to see the state of this game now, even in beta was disheartening. In my opinion the controls are clunky at best.(I'm playing on a Note 9) the buttons are unresponsive making it very hard to pull of any real tricks. And the graphics have much to be desired. And a lot of these maps look like clones of previous game. I hope it gets better.

Plain and simple, it's not good. Unresponsive controls. Garbage controls in the first place. No sense of speed. You jump so high you barely need ramps. It's a poor man's Tony Hawk (despite being endorsed by Tony himself) and it's not good at all. When Tony said he was looking to make more TH games after the activision split, this isn't what fans had in mind. Don't waste your time with this.

could be fun, mostly frustrating... controls are garbage, way too difficult to manual, stop, turn. The skate parks are all taken from skate party with no added visuals or anything. Then there are the ads, it's free to play with the option to pay to progress faster but no option to remove ads, no guarantee if I buy 200 coins for 1.99 the ads will stop, not even in the starter pack for 9.99 does it say the ads will be removed. With the branding this game should be much much more. Fun but Overprice

This game desperately needs controller support! touch controls do not work for this type of game... as it stands right now the game is really really good for a mobile Tony hawk game. graphics, gameplay and features are all superb. But cannot recommend it until they get proper controller support the game will become outstanding at that point and I must have.

I think there is fun to be had here. Make sure to turn on tilt, or else the game controls horribly. Tilt seperates turning and board control, making the experience much less disjointed. The worst part of the game are the half pipes. They're clumsy, especially the camera watching them. I'm disappointed that the game requires grinding or in app purchases to progress i tye game ( your board is too slow to get high scores, and you need certain board types to achieve missions). Overall, could be wors

first impression is a three. I would like to move the flip trick and grab trick button configuration for controllers cause its throwing me off. I keep grabbing when I want to flip. also a no ads upgrade would be definitely appreciated. I'll look for that and maybe bump up the rating after I've played a bit more. the one star is not entirely indicative of my true feelings on the game but rather just to give a rating that devs might look at for suggestions. also as a side note.....no other pros???

Reading from other reviews I've noticed a problem with the controls and I've come across a suggestion, try an adaptive make of True Skates control system. Yes the format is fit for a no-rider type game, but that's why I ask for an adaptive formating of the control system. Along with the character build, this is often used in platform, distance, and small storage based games. Tony Hawk is none of what I stated use a character design with readable faces, not the common polygon from Minecraft.

Fun game with great gameplay but the amounts of popup ads before and after the mandatory video is CANCER. Then you only get 2 minutes of gameplay to complete crazy challenges and you have to teach yourself to play since the tutorial is broken when they force you to grind on an invisible rail in the span of 6 seconds or you fail
