EA’s game was one of the first to focus on skate culture, but is more about weird and wacky events than fidelity to the sport.

Review by: C. M0use
Skate or Die is almost a parody of various Olympic games, with six events centered around skating such as races and a joust. Initially it’s charming with its goofy sense of humor, 80s skater lingo and upbeat Konami tunes, but the controls in most of the events are just too sluggish and unresponsive to be enjoyable.
