Skate City Heroes is an arcade sports game prepared by Zeroscale studio. As one of the six skateboarders, players must perform 100 tasks to free their best friend from the hands of the evil Lord Virus. The action of the game is set in a futuristic city, where talented skateboarders will find hundreds of objects helpful in the execution of breakneck evolutions.
Zeroscale has prepared another title combining a relatively deep skateboard system with colourful graphics. After productions on Playstation 2, the authors decided to direct the new game at Wii and take advantage of the unique features of the Nintendo console and its accessories (Wii Balance Board).
A futuristic city divided into five different sectors is at the player's disposal. In each of them several missions await us. In total, one of the six available characters has to perform 100 tasks to save our best friend from the hands of Lord Virus. Unlike similar items for other consoles, the authors implemented ten additional levels of multiplayer fun and the same number of interesting game modes in Skate City Heroes. Up to four players can compete at the same time in a battle for points, on time or in a race on a specific route.
The game uses the Wii Balance Board and allows you to control your character and perform various tricks with this device. For those who don't have a board, the authors have prepared a convenient way of control with the help of a vigour and nunchucks.
The graphics in Skate City Heroes are reminiscent of Japanese animation. The colours are vivid, the city is quite big and there are many different locations in it. Despite the fact that all the elements are built quite simply, and the characters lack details, in general, the game is pleasant to experience. In addition, gameplay remains fluid at all times, regardless of what happens on the screen.
