Skater XL delivers a solid skateboarding experience similar to the EA Skate series, which is something that I have wanted for a very long time now considering Skate 3 was the last great game with these kind of mechanics. Although it is a solid game, it definetely needs more time, not only to fix the bugs within the game, but to add more content and depth to the game itself. I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy this. In fact, you should buy this, especially if you were a fan of the EA Skate games! Despite the small size of the single level that is in this game, I found myself to be immediately attached to the skating mechanics alone (The fact that you have the ability to hippy flip through railings being one of them, which is something you can't do in Skate 3, well done :D ).

Specific things that may have already been pointed out, but that I would like fixed are;
- Bumping even the tiniest things at low speed will make your character fall off his board
- when teleporting back to your respawn marker, it changes the stance of your player between regular and goofy, which sometimes threw me off when I was going to do a trick because each stick control a foot on the board, so i would be confused when my character wouldnt prepare for a trick when i held one of the individual sticks down. I would just give the player the option to choose their default stance upon respawning and when they first start the game
- the fact that you can't turn on the board when you're preparing to do a trick, making it mandatory for me to get my board facing the exact position when I want to do my trick instead of having the option to make small turning adjustments before executing a trick.
- some of the grass areas in the level act like concrete and asphalt, which doesn't slow the player down when skating on these surfaces like it should.

In conclusion, I really hope this game does well and that this game gets consistent updates, more levels, and has its mechanics and bugs fixed. This has potential to be a great game!
