One of the most amazing third-party Wii games at E3 was EA’s Skate It. The game carries a lot in common with last year’s Skate for the 360 and PS3. The storyline revolves around a disaster that happens in the city from the first Skate. The entire city is now in ruins and your character gets to skate wherever they want. EA really wanted to emphasize an open environment where the players could skate virtually anywhere and anyway they want to.
The demo of the game consisted of one basic area in the heart of the ruined city. All the main elements for a skating game were there: gaps, jumps, verts, fun boxes, rails, and all sorts of skatable rubble. First, I got to try the game using just the Wii Remote. Every move and button can be mapped to only the Wii remote, and it basically controls just like a skateboard. To turn left, tilt the Wiimote left. To ollie, flick the Wii remote up. It’s very intuitive and easy to get used to grinding and performing tricks to string together multiple lines. The game’s scoring system is based on how many tricks you can do within a given ‘line’. There are all sorts of combo multipliers and linking varied tricks can lead to a lot of points.

*Pictures coming soon for these games…Internet is very slow here
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Wii) was my favorite of Namco/Bandai’s showings. The game takes everything the first Tales of Symphonia game on the Gamecube did well, and makes it 10 times better. The battle system is still very free-form and allows for a number of new combos and strategies. The addition of a complete monster capture/training system is a welcome one. There are almost 220+ monsters that can be caught in the game and each have their own evolutions and level up as in most RPGs (very similar to Pokemon). Every monster levels up just like your characters and can be assigned strategies throughout any battle.
Another huge addition is 4-player multiplayer support. Up to 4 of your friends can join your party at any time in the game and take control of one of your party members to control themselves. I didn’t get to test this feature out, but I’m really looking forward to when the game finally releases in the States.
