There are a
plethora of tricks
to learn and master as well as an interesting bunch of non-playable characters to flex your newfound skills on. Perfect Grind is also
well-optimized
,
quick
, and
responsive
, so any turns while doing tricks will most likely land well.
Perform tricks and score combos
With different modes to try, like the
Free Skate
or the
Campaign
, there is always something to do on Perfect Grind. If you want to be acquainted with the ropes first, there is also a
tutorial
that will teach you the basics and the controls. Learning those is quite easy, but mastering them and having absolute control over factors like speed and skateboard turning
takes a lot of practice
.
With every successful trick landed, you get to
score
points
. The more tricks you perform in a row, the better the
combo
you will get. Plus, there are different
skate parks to unlock
and explore, providing a variety in terms of setting and boasting well-animated surroundings. On top of that, you can
create and decorate
your own skate parks, too—allowing you to explore and skate in the environment you want.
Another aspect that you can customize is your
avatar
. There are different characters to choose from as well as a variety of apparel you can equip them with. Fully personalize your skater’s style—from the
headdress
to the
shoes
. However, as mentioned above, this game’s most obvious drawback is that you
cannot control the speed
or
improve the turning
of the skateboard.
Virtual skateboarding made achievable
Learning how to ride a skateboard does not have to be painful and stressful, especially when you can do everything in a virtual skate park. That is where Perfect Grind comes into play—with its intuitive controls and well-animated graphics, landing a trick or two is going to be fun and seamless. There are some rough patches when it comes to the skateboard speed and turning, though.
