Skate or Die 2
Reviewed by Ty Massei
Graphics: 6 out of 10
Sound: 5.5 out of 10
Gameplay: 4 out of 10
Hardness factor: 6.5 out of 10
Overall: 5 out of 10
Graphics: The graphics are a step up from the original, though not by
tons. The color scheme is a lot like the first, but the characters and
enemies have a bit more detail and animation.
Sound: The music is pretty much the same. It sounds like surfing/Californian
music, but since it's on the NES, it's pretty bad. Sound effects got a little
better, which is nice.
Gameplay: They shouldn't have made a sequel to Skate or Die (and they
shouldn't have made Ski or Die either). They took all the fun from the
original (namely, not much plot and just a lot of fun mini-games) and
just made it a sidescroller where it's hard to move. There are still
mini-games at some levels, but most of the time they are just dumb
and they definitely messed up on the plot. Not nearly as good as the first.
Hardness factor: This game is pretty hard, but only because enemies
reappear and it's a sidescroller where it's hard to move. My only
advice for those who will get this game is watch your step.
Overall: 5 out of 10. Not as good as the original, but it's still pretty
good for the first few levels. Then it gets really boring.
