Touchgrind Skate 2 Reviews

This game is not bad, id have to say it compares heavily to true skate but i enjoy this better. HOWEVER the reason in giving this 2 stars is because im comparing it to the first touchgrind game. Touchgrind was actually a substantial part of my child believe it or not but i gotta say, this game is kind of a downgrade. The first touchgrind game had way better handling and control. It was more free control you could say, rather this game limits what you can do and how you do it because of its auto correction. Example; you cannot do a dark slide because the game thinks you bailed. Flipping the board is not nearly as easy because the game is set to “help” you not bail where all this does is hinder my ability to play with fluidity. Ill be honest, im not the best at explaining things but in conclusion, touchgrind 1 controlled more freely and allowed for easier and more fluid game play. Touchgrind 2 limits what you can do and how you do it so in my opinion, it’s definitely worth the 4.99 to get the first game. If its fun and easier to handle control you're looking for, touchgrind 1. If its variety and trendiness you're looking for, touchgrind 2

This game is way to glitchy i try to do a trick and i get thrown to the other side of the map. When i try to do a kick flip it will not let me do it near a rail or when you try to get it to do a Ollie Or just to have get on to a rail it won’t even do it. Now there’s also the board not wanting to move all the time or turn either it would start doing a random trick that i didn’t even try to do like in the first one they had you had to use finger to push the skateboard and that was better. And that’s not the only issue with the game you have to pay for almost everything except for one map and some boards. The only good thing is that it has good graphics, and i haven’t had to deal with ads everything else is trash and garbage and needs to be tweaked and tuned. The first one was a lot better. But very good concept but needs a lot of work and a lot of issues. I would give it 5 stars but the bugs and glitches cause it to be 2 stars.

I downloaded this game about a week ago, and I learned it in a weekend, have been getting better and enjoying myself. 1 problem though, you can ONLY buy different maps, and can ONLY level up by buying more maps. Which has earned it’s name as the 5 star problem because if this game didn’t have this problem, I would rate it an EASY 5 stars. I understand that you have to make money some how but how about we make money from buying boards and removing ads! Instead of halting progress because someone won’t buy your maps. A way to counter the 5 star problem is by simply letting us earn maps, just like with boards and everything else. I love the game, but sadly it’s pay to win:(

This game is really really good, the point system is good, the customization for your board is great (many different options for all parts of the board) and the maps are good (although i do have a minor gripe that ALL maps have to cost money but $2.99 is a good price i have to admit), BUT i have one major complaint. After awhile of playing this game (and loving it to death), i’m experiencing this issue where every time i load up the game everything runs smoothly and i can preview the maps i haven’t bought yet, but every time i try to go into one of the maps i have, it goes on the loading screen for about a second and then completely kicks me out of the game, and every time i try to load back in or restart my phone or turn my internet off then back on, nothing has fixed the problem, devs can you help me?

I personally would play this game over most skating games because of simple yet complicated it is. So I choose to write a review about some things they can add and fix. So first off it would be great if there was more gamemodes lie a game can ”point scorer” or something where you play against other people to get as many points as you can and this leads into my next recommendation more customization options. So after playing game for a while I realize that there isn’t many customization options so I was hoping that you could do something like a battle pass for people to unlock different boards decks wheels etc. Another thing that I have been eating for is more maps or free maps now I understand that you have to get money but it would be nice if I had another map other than my backyard because after a while it gets boring playing the same map over and over again. Now let’s get into some of my personal problems. The game lags a lot I think I’m not the only one that has been experiencing these problems. I would also like to state another thing I started a string of good tricks I bumped into a rail and it says score lost.

Play TouchgrindSkate2 pretty regularly since it’s launch many years ago. It reminds me of EA Skate a bit in that it has much more realistic feel to it, especially compared to the other skate games for iOS. It’s also a bit buggy in spots, the board will drop through the map in corners and a lot of times you don’t get points for multiple combo tricks when pulled off in the air or you go into a late flip or underflip. The last map to be released “motel” is extremely uninspired and boring compared to some of their other maps. I hope their working on an a new and updated version of the game as it has a pretty great physics engine that can be quite addictive. Would love to see a Skate 3 where you have obstacles set up that resemble toys and other miniature fingerboard ramps.

TL;DR Is at the bottom

Ok, so this game is amazing, Controls are almost perfect except for some lag (it puts u in and out of riding position rarely) they are perfect. The maps are fun but you get tired of the first one after a while (My Backyard) so i bought a new one. Mega ramp is really good but there are no rails which is fine this map is for airtime. But on mega ramp there is a glitched quest. It says “Do any 2 impossibles in the same jump” which i did. I did a double impossible, i did a normal then a late, and i made it so i did two different impossibles in the same jump. But none of them worked. Also there are some glitches like being able to kinda glide if you put your fingers down in air while the board is at a certain angle. So my suggestions are to make 1 more free map that can be unlocked after you beat the first one (get gold in competition and complete all quests) and add S.K.A.T.E to that one (SKATE is horse) and fix some of the bugs. Overall great game and i will rate 5 stars if you fix the bugs. Thank you illusion labs.

TL;DR Very fun game but a little Glitchy sometimes will rate 5 if they fix. Highly recommend.

Overall it’s very fun. I loved learning all the tricks and getting better. But then the game gets boring. Once you have done all the tutorials and learned all the tricks then there isn’t as much to do. However you also have the challenges to do. Those were fun for a while until you finish them too. I finished all the tutorials and learned all the tricks. I finished all the challenges and am getting bored. I think that buying a new map would be fun. But I’m very free to play so I don’t know.

I’ve said this before, but I think that you should have 1 other free map, that only unlocks if you finish all the challenges. Or I think you should have more challenges or another mode. Maybe a S.K.A.T.E. mode. Kinda like horse where you play against a bot or player and you name a trick and then you have to do it. Then your opponent has to do it and if they don’t, they lose a life.

I think a game like that would be fun. You could add that, or a free unlock-able map. Either one would be fun. I’m hoping that there might be a skate 3 that adds some off these. Either way I had fun with the game.

Hi i do love the game so much but i wish there can be more setups for you’re boards and wheels and maybe and some trucks customization and for the grip tape and for the stickers. I already know i’ve said this twice but the office map wont load like no matter what i try doing competition did not work i did jam session obviously didn’t work i try doing S.K.A.T.E doesn't work please fix that and again i already know I've said that twice just to note that im already at 100% status and i do like the we love you sign when you reach 100% just to make sure to make the game funner if we can add objects by using wheel coins the coins look like wheels but there also entertainment secret because you can spin it just like the wheel map spinner and you have a rail a bench a ledge a ramp and also new stuff! Every month i still enjoy the game i just had some bug fixes and i also had some game ideas so i still like the game its great its a good game i just want to add some more details into the game.

Ok great game. I like the custom board and custom sticker options. But maybe add some different board shapes, widths, wheel shapes etc. because the popsicle shape gets boring. Go look at welcome skateboards, they have some creative shapes y’all could take inspiration from. And you gotta make a way to get other skateparks without paying because I’m getting tired of my backyard and its hard to keep being creative with a couple of rails a ledge and a few ramps. Maybe add a skatepark creator and you can post your own custom park and have others play it. Same things with boards, have a create a board and post it for other people to use. That would go in hand with adding more board and wheel shapes. I feel like if you add more customization features and things to do for people who don’t want to shell out money on parks you would bring in more players. As well as the ability to post custom skateparks and decks. Other than that keep it up! Cant wait for the next update.

First off i’d like to say I really enjoy this game and, like you claim, this is definitely the most realistic skateboarding games you can find on TouchgrindSkate2 store. Although it’s a solid game it does have plenty of room for improvement. Here’s a few things i’ve noticed:

Physical:
-When lined up for a tail or nose slide the board oftentimes drifts in mid air a good amount of space just to end up in a board-slide. This obviously takes away from the realism and can be frustrating for people who are attempting these more technical tricks. I get that devs might be trying to make it easier for beginners, if someone missed the perfect line up for a board slide this automatic mid air drift might help them out, but I really don’t think the feature is necessary or appreciated.

Cosmetic: (overall great maps, textures, and graphics)
-When board sliding on a ledge it is common for the wheels of the board to dip under/into the concrete or metal that is being slid on
-I really appreciate the fact that the board wears over time, getting scratches and chips out, but after a certain period of time the board stops wearing out. I think it would be cool if you just added a few more stages of wear and tear and maybe after skating a certain deck for a long period of time make it snap or crack.

Again these are pretty much my only complaints and the game is super entertaining I would recommend it to anyone looking to pass time with a fun skating game.

Board control in this game is great, with practice you can vary flick and pop to differentiate between tricks. You can tweak out varial flips to make them look like backside flips, stomp your tricks or let them float, shifty flip and late shuv to complete rotations, and so on. The game really allows you to do whatever you want on a board except... manuals, feebles and smiths. Some of my favorite grind tricks being backsmiths and front feebles, it's annoying having to go into a 5-0 or salad instead. Manuals would allow for so many more tricks too.

In terms of maps, graphics are okay, and having to pay for each map is pretty expensive for a mobile game. Some maps also have weird, random obstacles and lack of flow which make them clunky to skate. However, I like the creativity of each map and there are some good obstacles I find myself trying every trick on.

Small issues: Sometimes the board will freeze when going back to spawn. Replay camera angles are weird sometimes, they just focus on a wall or something while your board does the trick off camera. Nollie tricks should be popped higher.

All in all, still a very fun game that scratches the itch to skate when it's rainy. Has some potential to improve though.

I’ve played every map and have always liked “my backyard” the best. The game is most fun with simple rails, boxes and room for flat ground. I’ve disliked all the maps since “The Motel” there is too much going on and crazy fly out ramps for my likening. ▶️ dear developers (I would like to see a way to do 180s! I would do this by using the same flick you do for a kick flip / heel flip but not releasing your finger from the tail right away. It would be cool to control the speed you spin based on now hard you flick. Except it would make 180 trick combos impossible to do without doing a late trick after the 180 but I don’t think it wouldn’t change anything that’s already standing! I would also like to see a way to do feeble and smith grinds. 🔥If your looking for a good ideas for a new parks I would make exact replicas of popular skateparks and I believe it would bring in a bigger crowd of real skateboarders and be the dominating skate app🔥Maybe make a new map that you can create your own skatepark and use all of the existing obstacles that are already in the game. You should add another rank after legend to keep up with the new challenges that came with the new maps.◀️ this is the best skill based skate app you can get and it still has a lot more potential! 10/10 favorite app on TouchgrindSkate2 Store!

So I downloaded this game and it’s is so fun cause there are things called finger boards and if you like those download this game they reasons I call it cool are cause it has training and it tells you how to do tricks it’s hard at first but it gets easier and how it has line and you have to get a good score in a line the one problem is that it does not have free play what I suggest for a update is have free play where you can invite your friends say things in chat and same thing for your friends they can invite you to a game and chat with you I’m not saying you have to but it’s an idea and if you guys don’t do the idea then all players that see this go in training and do a trick you have already learned and do whatever you want

This game is just so good, I love how original it is, and how it’s got it’s own unique gameplay. I also enjoy how real-world skate tricks are incorporated. I love all the maps, they’re works of art, and always fun to explore and create lines on. I had some ideas for more exciting gameplay, such as S.K.A.T.E. but it’s played the real way, copying each others’ tricks. That would be a lot more fun than trying to get points because it’s way more realistic. I also really loved the recent update with the addition of more customizable additions to your deck. I also enjoy the video studio, but I have just one minor complaint: when viewing lines or saved tricks in videos, the screen will occasionally turn to black for no reason, and it kind of ticks me off when I’m editing because I can’t see the best parts. But thank you for the amazing game, I will always enjoy this :)

A tough learning curve. It took me some to to be able to hard flips on demand. But I got em now. I don't think I will ever be able to do impossibles. Still haven't figured out how to not do either a 5-0, nose grind, 5050 or board slide.I love this game and I really hope enough people support a the next version. Areas to improve. I think there should be a way to maintain more speed. Sometimes you bump into things and it's too easy to lose speed. Maybe you can push like you would on a normal board. Of course it would be cool to have manual tricks. Better flow ability in some of the skate maps. The docks doesn't flow well. It's hard enough to land on the board, we don't need to worry about running into obstacles or walls etc.. the car park and factory are great. Anyways, this has to be the greatest touch game ever made. Only skaters will have the patients to figure it out. THAT MEANS IT's GREAT!

First of all, this is a great game. It’s very well polished and easily one of the best skater games out there. However, I do have a few suggestions on how to improve this game. Please consider adding an option to create your own skate maps for others to play. It would add a new aspect to the game and give creators a platform to be creative. Another suggestion would be to add the S.K.A.T.E game mode to the playground map. This way, more people are able to compete against each other online, therefore increasing the amount of players that download the game. Last but not least, be more involved with the community of this game. For example, host community events for prizes or add a limited game mode to encourage people to play more. If you’ve read this, I hope I’ve given you some ideas for future updates for the game. Thank you for listening to my opinion and please consider these suggestions.

So basically, the game itself is really fun and I find my self playing it when I am bored. I also think my game glitched because one day I got on the game and I had every map unlocked and I had not bought anything. I beat all the challenges and unlocked everything and it was really fun. It was only a few day ago that I started questioning what my stance was. I used my right hand to play so I thought I was goofy. I also swiped right to kick flip just like irl on a real skateboard. But when I would go to do a frontside 180 on a mini ramp I would Ollie going left up the ramp and the trick name would say I did a backside 180. Also when I would do a backside power slide, I would swipe to the right. I just don’t think the trick namer thing knows what trick I’m actually doing. Otherwise, this game is awesome. It has good physics and nice graphics. Oh I also wish the game had more than a few grinds and slides. Like when I would go to do a lip slide, it would say I did a boardslide. I also wish there were some trick nicknames in the game as well. Like if i would do a double varial heel I would like it to say I did a daydream flip. I really don’t care though and I know this game is kinda old but yea, if you’re looking for a decent skateboarding game on mobile, then this is a good game for you.

I’ve been playing this game off and on for several years, and it’s slowly become one of my all-time favorites. There is a bit of a learning curve in the early stages, but once you learn how to do the tricks with relative consistency this game is a blast. It was totally worth it to buy all the maps and progress through the challenges in each (except The Office, which has plenty of thematic flavor but lacks in obstacle variety and feels a little too disorienting). That said, the physics are as perfect as you can get with a mobile sports game, and in my opinion, the lack of a skater/avatar just makes the game feel more immersive, unlike all the other skate games. The variety of tricks is extensive enough for me, though I’ve read other reviews asking for more and I certainly wouldn’t mind more! My only true hope for this game is that they come out with more maps (especially more mid-levels like Factory and Carpark) and more progression opportunities so I can keep jamming away now that I’ve just about finished the current version. Props to the devs and keep up the great work.

This is definitely one of, if not the best skate game(s) on TouchgrindSkate2 Store right now. Although, there is always room for improvement. I have been playing this game for over a year, and it is truly addicting. It flows well, and covers a lot of aspects within skateboarding. A couple ideas that I would like to see added to this game in future updates are: manuals (maybe swiping down or up on the nose or tail in mid-air to land into manuals), 180 tricks on flatground (maybe setting the direction and amount of spin before you pop with a button on the side), grinds where the board dips below the ledge or rail (ie. feeble, smith, willy), and lastly frontside and backside grinds (ie. frontside crooked grind v. backside crook). Thank you for making this game, and hopefully, it can improve.
