Comments on: 'Skater Nation' Hands-On Preview with Video http://toucharcade.com/2009/11/21/skater-nation-hands-on-preview-with-video/ ... keeping in touch with the latest in iPhone gaming Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:35:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: TechSe7en http://toucharcade.com/2009/11/21/skater-nation-hands-on-preview-with-video/#comment-45270 TechSe7en Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:00:56 +0000 http://toucharcade.com/?p=25797#comment-45270 I don't think the issue is about this game being a "knock off". Of course it's a THPS style game, many iPhone games are inspired by console games and created by different companies (Payback). No one has done the THPS thing on the iPhone and it was obviously missing. TouchGrind is amazing but a different style, VANS game is O.K. This game is good. Notes: I think that the jumping is a little out of control, but it's fun to get big air right away. The camera is too close, there should be an option to change it. Falls and hitting walls causes a restart of your player, the player doesn't get up like in THPS, I don't like this. Free roaming is awesome, frame rate is great on my 3G[S]. I like the teleporting for sure. Overall it is a B+, fun gameplay but can be a bit annoying when you crash. It is a worthy addition to the 100,000 other apps.

I only hate the camera....Its too close...Sometimes you dont see where you skate....Thats the worst camera I have ever seen after 10 Years of gaming. I think I will continue playing, when this shit is fixed.But still best gameloft game :-) Yes...on my opinion it is the best gameloft game up now.

I could understand it more if the "original" titles were available, a higher quality and at a better price but they are not. Gamelofts success will encourage big name developers to eventually release the console brands - and in the mean time - we get to enjoy decent titles at a good price. You should be praising Gameloft.
