The game itself is quite bad and unpolished, but with mods you get a very realistic skate simulator that I have been wanting for years. This will more than likely be my skateboarding game until Skate 4 comes out.

A cuddly physique never seen before and animations, that was one of the main reasons for my purchase.A big challenge along the way has been the fact that Skater XL is the first skateboarding game to be entirely based on physics. The player is in control of the board at all times and can rotate, flip and adjust the tricks in any way they want, so unlike skateboarding games of the past, there is no 'canned' character animation that can represent a given trick.They developed a novel real-time animation system that can move and respond to player input moment by moment. This involved hand cleaning, cutting, and editing countless chunks of mocap animation for specific requirements that are then stitched together and mixed in real time so that the animation system instantly responds to player input and hits the character a realistic looking movement.The result of this system is a much more polished and realistic representation of the skate movement. We hope you agree that this new Skater XL animation system looks and feels like a new game, one that is incredibly smooth, responsive, and satisfying to play.Skater XL uses physics controlled by thumbsticks to power all movements in the game, which is a far cry from traditional 'canned animation' based systems. The precise movements performed through the thumbsticks will make your tricks look and feel different each time, adding a level of expression, customization, and style to the game.Undoubtedly thanks to the Mods the PC version is the best!!

Great game a little overpriced right now though. Gameplay is very realistic and very smooth. Can't do darkslides though but if you use mods you can.
