Alright, here goes nothing. (And I mean it, this might get a little bumpy.)
Dive back in! New Game+ is like taking everything you know and kicking it up a notch — hold onto those hard-earned stats from your first spin around the block. But guess what? Now you’ve got legacy goals from old-school classics. Remember those? Plus, some spiffy new stuff like Pro Goals and Expert Challenges thrown into the mix.
So, here’s what we got. Pro Goals are scattered all over every park. Yeah, everywhere. You’re chasing the Platinum Score now — not to mention pulling off these killer environmental tricks and snagging all those C-O-M-B-O letters in one move. It’s like S-K-A-T-E, but, you know, with a twist. Then you’ve got Expert Challenges daring you to master speedruns, crank out high scores, nail those gap combos. It’s a whole scene, really.
And then there’s Solo Tours. Remember everything? Yeah, toss it all onto your skater of choice. The stakes? Higher than ever. It’s all about hitting the base and Pro Goals in each level. More cash on the line, new tricks, and those S-K-A-T-E letters all get flipped depending on your skater’s style. Keeps it interesting, right?
Let’s chat multiplayer. It’s wild, with cross-platform magic letting up to eight skaters go head-to-head. Public lobbies, private matches — take your pick. When things get personal, jump into Local Multiplayer for some split-screen chaos.
Oh, and HAWK Mode. Ever play skateboarding hide and seek? Well, strap in. During the hide part, skate around, drop your letters wherever — like, that “H” on some insane grind, and the “A” at the peak of an aerial. Be sneaky. Then, race against time in the seek phase to snag your opponent’s letters. There’s a timer and everything. Rack up bonus points if your stuff’s still there at the end. Three rounds, top score wins. (Phew, that was a ride.)
And hey, don’t forget the classics are still kickin’. Free Skate, anyone? Modes like Trick Attack where it’s all about racking the highest score before time’s up. Then there’s Score Challenge, Combo Mambo… I could go on, but you get it. Change up the time or score limits — just pick your park and go nuts.
Quality of life stuff? It’s all there. Voice Chat with push-to-talk — we all know how that can save you. A couple of neat channels, adjust the volume and you’re golden. Streamer Mode’s neat too, skipping out tracks that might throw off your content. Swap in some originals and carry on.
Lastly, don’t forget Create-A-Park. Wait, did I almost forget that bit? Imagine your very own skate haven. Anyway, build away.
Okay, I’m done. That may have been a lot, but there it is. Go shred!
