Thanks for reading my review of Skate or Die for Nintendo!  --kramer4077

Overall:  9/10--I just rated Ski or Die for Nintendo as well.  Skate or Die is very similar to that game since it involves playing a series of mini-games.  You skateboard around to enter the different games and there's a shop where you can buy and view things.  The mini-games all involve some kind of skateboarding.  There is a Half-Pipe, Downhill Jam, and Pool Joust among the games.  All the mini-games, especially the Pool Joust is very fun to play against a real opponent.  If you aren't playing with a real friend, you can have a computer opponent in this game.  Skate or Die goes very well with Ski or Die or Skate or Die 2.  I suggest playing one of those games after this one to add to the competition between you and a friend since you are limited to just a handful of mini-games in this game alone.

Graphics:  8/10--Comparing the graphics to other Nintendo games, they are all right for a NES game.  Not the best, but not terrible either.  You can see the images and numbers in the scores pretty clearly if playing on a normal-sized computer or TV.

Sound:  8/10--Sound and music are all very nice.  The theme song can get stuck in your head for days...skate or die, skate or die, die, die, die... 

Addictiveness:  9/10--Skate or Die is a very fun game, especially if you play against a real opponent.  It can be a great challenge against someone good.  My brother and I used to play this all the time as kids since there weren't many Nintendo games that allowed you to compete at the same time.  The Half-Pipe mini-game can definitely be addicting, since there are many different skateboarding tricks you can do to increase your total score.  As I stated before, this game is similar to Ski or Die or California Games.  If you enjoy the types of games that have a series of mini-games to master, you will enjoy Skate or Die for sure!

Story:  There really isn't a story since Skate or Die is just a series of skateboarding mini-games.

Depth: 7/10--Even though the game is really fun, there are just several skateboarding mini-games and not much else.  It is too bad there weren't more mini-games included in this.  I used to play this game back-to-back with Ski or Die or Skate or Die 2.

Difficulty: 8/10--Skate or Die is not that difficult of a game to play initially.  Once you get the hang of the games it's fun to try to get higher and higher scores than your previous games.  The Half-Pipe is a great game to try different tricks in to see what gets you the highest score.  The Downhill Jam can be a little tricky to maneuver, but it gets easier with practice.  In the Pool Joust you try to knock your opponent off the skateboard, so that one can take a little practice too.  Overall, the difficulty doesn't interfere with the fun of the game!
