For those who need a little more direction, you can press the pause button on the top of the screen and choose from the available missions. Just like skating in the real world, much of the satisfaction comes from pulling off a new trick that you never thought possible. In True Skate, you are essentially just rolling around a skatepark pulling off sweet tricks. The game is also available for Android, though this review focuses on the iOS version. It definitely caters to skateboard fans, but it's fun and simple enough that anyone can enjoy it. This game brings much of the same experience as Touch Grind, but it does it with a little more depth, and a slightly different control scheme. While that game was good, it had some room for improvement, and for a long while it seemed that skating games were a niche that no one was touching on the App Store - that is until True Skate ($1.99) arrived. I've always been a fan of the Tony Hawk games, and even before that I loved playing with those Tech Deck finger skateboards, so the idea of living that out on my phone was awesome. When I got my first iPhone, one of the games that immediately set me on my App Store adventure was Touch Grind.
