The Simpsons: Skateboarding
About the Game
In The Simpsons Skateboarding , players take the four members of the Simpsons family plus Otto, Chief Wiggum, Professor Frink, Nelson and Krusty the Clown to ten skating locations around Springfield. At its core, the gameplay is similar to the Tony Hawk series , though the trick system is slightly different with some moves involving Street-Fighteresque quarter rolls of the d-pad.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Each level has three kinds of objectives. There are five untimed goals and a final timed goal in each level. In skatefest, players are assigned five goals per level. Each level has one goal where you spell a word, one where you collect items, one where you find clocks in something similar to a checkpoint race and two miscellaneous goals.
