True Skate is a virtual skating game that uses physics on doing solid and genuine tricks. This simulation game uses touch screen controls to complete skateboard tricks on a 3D skatepark. True Skate successfully mimics the experience of skating by making you in charge of a virtual skateboard which is controlled by using fingers instead of feet.

With its 3D graphics, the game features realistic skateboarding obstacles with proper light sources that create shadows on a high frame rate display. Considered the most realistic skateboarding game on AppStore and Google Play, this app will remind you that skateboarding is hard.

Even with good graphics, the game has a set of limitations. You can only use a single skatepark, boards cannot be customized, and do not have a replay button for every trick done. Aside from gaming limitations, you need to buy the game before you can play it.

You will have missions in the game where you need to play out a series of tricks or follow a trick shown during the game. However, after these missions, some players choose to stop playing the game. Aside from the missions, there are also tutorials to enhance your skills in doing tricks.

As opposed to being a vigorous mission or a story-based game, True Skate is a game that is like a sandbox toy that allows you to play around a skatepark doing anything you feel like.

The view is from a third-person behind-the-board camera point which makes a huge difference that playing with a person standing on the skateboard itself. With this view, you can see where you need to go and what objects you want to hit with your skateboard. The third-person view also allows you to land on something in which you can simply continue doing a series of tricks.

On its recent update, the game incorporated a new skatepark called The Factory, a game on Realistic Mode that tones down the physics, a straightforward replay viewer, and a Crash Cam which is also a new feature.

In the new Factory park particularly, there are certain places where you could be falling off from something that would resemble two or three stories high. Crash Cam prevents you from falling to anything when you do the tricks on these kinds of heights.

The new skatepark is available as an in-app purchase which looks like an indoor park to try out your virtual skateboarding skills.

The Factory skatepark focuses on changes in obstacles and some street-style ramps all through. There is an enormous halfpipe which can be particularly fun to do tricks on, just like the two bowls where you can practice getting your speed rolling. With these certain changes in this update, some things are fixed such that you don't slide out easily.

True Skate is very realistic to the point that even all-out beginners will choose to get out and jump on a genuine skateboard. The controls are astounding and responsive, so nothing holds up when you choose to flip over slopes and rails. It is an ideal balance of simple gameplay and skill development that children and skateboard enthusiasts will enjoy.
