Aug 31, 2018 The Simpsons Skateboarding is known to be one of the worst video games of all time. In this video, I review the PS2 game and explain both how I came to play it and why I. In five game modes, you can choose from eight unlockable characters (each with 40 unique moves) to skate on or around various Springfield landmarks, characters, and objects. All the grinding, tricks, and competitive action from your favorite skating games are now in the wacky world of The Simpsons.

Plot[edit]
The Annual Skate Tour is taking place in Springfield and several residents are taking part in order to win the prize of $99. (Note: this is the plot described on the game's box. No plot is given in-game.)
Gameplay[edit]
Skillz School[edit]
The player has to complete six challenges in a section of the selected level which increase in difficulty. When completed the player will earn money which can be used to upgrade the character's stats.
Skatefest[edit]
The player can explore the level and gain points. There are a set of objectives in each level which reward the player:
- Collect letters in the correct order to spell out a word within a time limit.
- Complete two objectives unique to the level (e.g. knock over certain objects) within a time limit. One of these will unlock a secret area and the other will unlock a new level if completed along with the letter collection.
- Collect the clocks, each of which will require the player to earn a certain amount of points within a time limit. If done successfully, the player will earn money.
- Collect the items which are unique to the player character e.g. donuts for Homer. Each level has items which are classed as Easy, Medium and Hard. Once all are collected, an unlockable skateboard will appear in the level's secret area.
Timed Trick Contest[edit]
In a section of the level, the player must earn a certain amount of points within the time limit. If this is achieved in two levels, a new character will be unlocked. An alternate costume for each character can also be unlocked.
Multiplayer[edit]
Multiplayer allows for two players. One of the multiplayer modes is Timed Trick Contest, where each player competes for the most points within the time limit. The other mode is HORSE where a player completes a move which the other player must copy. If not copied successfully, the second player will get a letter from HORSE. Whoever spells out HORSE first loses.
Levels[edit]
Springfield Elementary is the only level which does not need unlocking.
Playable characters[edit]

The items listed are the ones picked up in the item collection task. The alternate costumes are the ones unlocked in the Timed Trick Contest.
Reception[edit]
The game received negative reviews from critics due to its clunky control scheme, bad graphics and for being an overall low quality clone of the Tony Hawk games. It has become notable in video game media outlets for its poor reception, with GameSpot describing it as 'a case study in bad game design'.

The Simpsons Skateboarding is a skateboarding video game based on the animated sitcom, The Simpsons that was released for the PlayStation 2 in North America on November 13, 2002. The game was developed by the The Code Monkeys and published by Fox Interactive and Electronic Arts. The story and dialogue were crafted by writers from The Simpsons, with all character voices supplied by the actual cast.
In the game, Springfield has been converted into a skate park for the Annual Skate Tour, full with skate-able objects and landmarks from the television series. Players are able to choose one of the nine characters available to compete for the grand prize. All of the characters' voices were recorded by the actual voice actors from The Simpsons.
Each character has over forty unique moves. Players can test their skills in either a two-player head-to-head skate off or in one of the fast and furious modes: Freeskate, Skate Fest, Trick Contest, and a game of skateboard H-O-R-S-E. Players can unlock additional characters, locations, and skateboards and can also choose to learn all the skateboard moves and tricks before they begin the actual game in the Skillz School mode.

The Simpsons Skateboarding Wiki Game
This Video Game Contains the Following Tropes:
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: For some reason, the Skate Fest and two-player variaints of the Springfield Gorge contain colorful rails that give the skater a tint of that color when grinding on them.
- Fake Difficulty: When the controls of a game are poorly implemented, this trope occurs.
- Hollywood Acid: The Acid Bath section of Itchy and Scratchy Land is a mini-skate park over a pool of green liquid. Falling into this counts as a regular bail.
- Licensed Game: This game is based on The Simpsons franchise.
