Shaun White Skateboarding

Ubisoft are taking on EA's Skate series and Activision's Tony Hawk franchise this fall with Shaun White's Skateboarding. The game is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Here are a few bullet points from the fact sheet:

• Transformation - a creativity-driven gameplay innovation - Create incredible skate lines using city structures, stretch and twist handrails to dizzying heights, empty fountains to create bowls, make alleys into epic quarter pipes and so much more. New areas are revealed, better skate lines are created and buildings are transformed. Creativity is rewarded with points, gear and new skating opportunities.

• Explore and discover a world full of skateboarding potential - Find or create skate spots you've only dreamed about. The city is stretched over massive districts with tons of challenges to complete, including race, collect, narrative missions and more.

• Transform in mulitplayer, share your creations with friends - Jump online to challenge your friends in co-operative or adversarial modes: online or local split-screen. Create your own maps and explore them with friends. See how you rank against players from across the world using online leaderboards.

• Build a unique and authentic gameplay experience every time - With 80+ skate tricks hand-picked by Shaun (including a Shaun creation called the "Armadillo"), enjoy a unique and fun gameplay experience where you can shape, influence and transform the city while pulling off authentic skate moves. Experience all the sensations of an expert skater - the big air, sticking a landing, eating it and more!
