Tony Hawk's Skate Jam Review - Square Eyed Jak

Since the previous Hawktober in 2018, Tony Hawk has gifted us a brand new game in the form of a phone app known as Skate Jam. It's finally time to take a look and see if it's any good; is this a true portable Pro Skater game or just a waste of our time (and money)?

"I guess playing Tony Hawk Motion on the DS has left me with permanent brain damage." This is my favorite line from your videos.

[@shukterhousejive]

I went to the local GameStop And said "please pierce my brain" They said I won't survive it So it had to be prepaid

[@caiorezei]

I was just about to write something extremely similar until I saw your comment. Yep, that's about it.

[@caiorezei]

@@shukterhousejive I had to put them in my will, I hope they're satisfied. They made me buy a Xbox Gold, they say it's suicide!

[@BugsyFoga]

Fun fact : Skate Jam was also the name of the cancelled Looney tunes and Tony Hawk crossover film .

[@j2k478]

Nathaniel Foga true he posted a picture of a concept of it on his Instagram, he kinda looked like a white Obama honestly😂😂

[@RedVelvetUnderground333]

That would’ve been fuckingvawesome

[@WestOfLee100]

*worlds collides starts playing* “What’s up doc, can you do a 900 on that half-pipe?”

[@Coreisus]

I would've loved that movie even more than i loved Space Jam as a kid! And I LOVED Space Jam as a kid!!!

[@bobafett4265]

So Space Jam but with Skateboarding, would've worked as a spin off for Space Jam anyhow, heck there was a cartoon based on that Skateboarding thing back in the 2000's i think it was called Boom Boom Skate Jam, i think....

[@fizzpeakgamer1318]

When the skip ad skit ended a real ad popped up

Thank you!

Agreed a true masterpiece of KZbin art!😍

[@JomasterTheSecond]

Man, Tony Hawk Simulator 2009 looks great!

[@hydralicmonkey6490]

Man that skit about the Ads was hilarious. I can't wait to see what's in store tomorrow. This is bitter sweet. We've seen all of the games and had some great laughs from your content. Rather than feeling sad that this could be our final episode of the Hawktober series, I'm incredibly happy to have been able to watch it. You've provided countless hours of enjoyment for me and others. Thanks for all your hard work, everything you put out is great in my book.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thank you for supporting the special and the channel. Also don't worry, still countless more hours to come before the end of Day 10! 😉

[@hydralicmonkey6490]

@@SquareEyedJak I can't wait! Excited to see what's in store.

[@natea8813]

Fun Fact: This game no longer has the Tony Hawk branding. Now it’s just skate jam.

[@noaharkadedelgado2318]

We know

[@GabeTheGrump]

I just started playing this again and they took out Tony and now this game has nothing to do with him anymore. Imagine spending 20-50 dollars on a board pack just to have the Devs delete it from the game now it's just all generic items. With all these ports and great triple A quality games coming out I don't understand why it's so hard for anyone to make a decent third person skate game on mobile we're not in 2006 anymore. Trueskate feels impossible to pull off a line or do anything realistic and touchgrind gets boring after a few minutes.

[@wahmaster2788]

Hawktober is hella fun, I've been binging it all week starting with the older ones. Keep up the good work and hopefully you will reach 50k soon

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers mate, appreciate it!

[@thegamingreaper0288]

Firstly, I just want to say great job on reaching 26k subscribers!!! And I hope the rest of Hawktober, and the rest of this year, goes by smoothly for you, mate! Can't wait 'till you reach 50k subscribers!!!!! 😀😉👍

[@LildawgBigbite]

I know it’s cliche to say this but, you seriously deserve more subscribers. You’re hilarious, editing is great, and you clearly put effort into these videos. I love em man, keep the badass content coming!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thanks!

[@XFS540]

lol I love how you incorporated the spring jump sound effect from Super Mario World at 11:09. Didn't see it coming and I got a good laugh out of it. Well done!

[@michaellovegrove9467]

Good lord... I’m going back to THPS1.

[@ChrystianDanucalov]

Have been watching this series in the entire quarantine, and now I have finally reached the end! Congrats for the content!

That $5 on Pateron is worth every penny.

[@RacingGamerJosh]

I laughed so hard at the advertisements part. 🤣🤣

[@dragon1998D]

Your Tony Hawk Level ranking video randomly showed up in my recommendations,three days later and I've binged pretty much all your Hawktober videos. Really enjoying your videos!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Thank you! We do a lot more here than just Tony Hawk videos so I'd have to recommend the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series review, but I'm stoked Hawktober is enjoyed by people, given how much work it is! :)

[@dragon1998D]

@@SquareEyedJak I'll definitely be checking out more of your stuff!

[@4iss.22]

I found myself playing Skateboard Party 3 so much that I've got the full version on PC (From the Windows store) and on mobile

[@BLRavenWizard]

The first ever mobile game actually got a score! Wow! Btw I pressed skip button at 15:30 and it actually worked! 😂 Great video man! 👍

[@SquareEyedJak]

I usually skip scoring mobile games because with java titles and looking at a lot of them, there isn't much wiggle room for scores. So to prevent having many "this is a good mobile game. 2/10" moments, so I usually skip it. But since we're only looking at one game here, it's all good!

[@BLRavenWizard]

@@SquareEyedJak lol yup I agreed man! Now that's all of the tony hawk games, I wonder what's happens at the last day of Hawktober?

[@SheriffDuncanFlynn]

Even though you might have put your faith in the wrong person (I hope you didn't), I think I've put my faith for quality content in the right person. You are a true inspiration Jak. You're vids are some of the most rewatchable game reviews on KZbin. Even though I've seen it like a hundred times, I still laugh at the Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly review. Please never lose your creative spark. Can't wait for the finale tomorrow. It's the #1 thing for me and it's Halloween over here when it releases, so, you must be doing something right!

[@SquareEyedJak]

Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words! We don't do Halloween but we'll be ending Hawktober 2019 with something really special that has never been attempted on KZbin before. Bring plenty of snacks!

Activision: You couldn't live with your own failures, and where did it end up? Back to me...

[@n1njahawkssecondchannel84]

[@Mickey_JR]

There's a phone skateboard game called Skateboard FE3D 2 it's really fun to play,it has a good soundtrack,a lot of customization,it has seven levels,and it has arcade mod,SKATE mod,and free mod.

[@awesomeferret]

"Whoever heard of having to unlock the freeplay mode?" Not Traveler's Tales apparently. Don't know about now of the more modern or older Lego games, but most of the early Lego Star Wars series has you play each level twice, because you have to play each level once in story mode to unlock freeplay. And in my opinion, it works quite well since you are barred from much if not most of the level in story mode, so when you unlock freeplay there's actually a bunch of new stuff. I guess that's the key here, this game sucks because of it because it's the same levels, where in Lego Star Wars, it effectively isn't.

[@therekounasshow7822]

And now there's a new Tony Hawk game coming out and just in time for Hawktober too!

[@JoseAGamez-ci9rt]

I'm late but dude this is really creative editing! Well done!

"Hey I'm making a new game you better all get hype" proceed to put the same content from three previous game from another series into a new one and just slap Tony hawk's name on it

[@Coreisus]

The funny part is that Skateboard Party was originally Mike Valley's Skateboard Party. Then SBP2, SBP3, then Tony Hawk's Skate Jam... Lol

[@ericjones6141]

I've seen many of your videos but this might be my favorite yet

[@BRZguy]

Part of me wants gaming to go back to the good old PS2 days. Games where gameplay came first and people didn't worry about graphics, no online modes, no loot boxes, no paid dlc.

[@eggnokio]

I had no idea Hawktober was going on, I'm about to binge watch this month's videos😁

[@NanaKyoto]

Tony Hawktober Merch Matchup sounds like a more appealing game in my opinion. Especially if it had an ad that's worth watching. But I don't even play games on my phone, let alone consider the thought, so I guess I still have some purity?

[@csurname]

16:38 what a set of characters. into the V Verse

[@DiamondProAlpine]

hi jak just wanna say that i love your videos especially the tony hawk ones :) I played Skate Jam and didn’t particularly like it i hate its controls mainly that ad skit was too funny it was so unexpected can’t wait to see whats in store for tomorrow’s tony hawktober also there was a port of tony hawks pro skater 2 for iOS and its really old for like iOS 3

[@TheKsax]

Wow, what a story. Three games turned in to one. What a twist. It was a scammy company all along. Great video, I am impressed with witty review and all the research you have done to bring us a great video. Good job Jak.

[@thecrazytheorist4756]

I've played all the skate party games and I would recommend them, there pretty fun if you want to play a skating game on the go

[@LakoIsFun]

Where do I download Tony Hawktober Merch Matchup?

[@HassanMostafaHassanAli]

Great video as always, I have always been wondering whether I should get into the kind of games related to skateboarding and Tony Hawk's older ones have always been on my mind and you got me into the series so thanks, Jak. With that said, I had a skateboarding game made by Disney (I believe its name was Disney's Extremely Goofy Skateboord game, pretty generic) and I remember it being kind of fun. I really hope you check it out but I also believe it is very old by now.

[@phyrexiancoffee6324]

That game is actually running on an engine taken from one of the earlier THPS games. I have it and it is actually a really decent title for being what it is.

[@vechirni_anbernic]

"You're not the same! You've changed!" This 8bit version is aweosme in the background.

[@jkon156]

This is why I am a huge proponent for the emulation scene, especially on android. I use a note 10, and it emulates up to gamecube (save for F-Zero GX) full speed. THPS2-3 on PS1 are flawless, and with a bluetooth controller (I use the 2nd gen xbox one controller), its just like the real thing, but mobile!

I'm glad I saw this video before I downloaded the game because I was actually gonna download it last night but I wanted to see the video first to decide whether or not to see if its worth my time. My decision: No I don't see myself downloading this game, I mean its actually just a game with re-used assets....No effort what so ever smh...Loved the video man!
