Mix Tapes (songs), Socks (Clothing items), and skate parks all take too much effort to unlock, and most of the time I just found myself ignoring them because they were making me so angry. SkateBIRD does take a lot of tips from previous skate games before it, but there is just something about this particular title that does not feel right when it comes to earning unlocks. Unfortunately, you have to keep on grinding through this until it feels like forever, and then you finally move on to the next skate park. You see, you have to do these tedious missions from other birds, and just when you think you have done enough, they throw more at you. It is a simple concept that keeps the flow of the game going, but I do feel like the amount of time it takes to get through each skate park is brutal. The story is that a bunch of birds are building up their skating confidence, earning their spots, and making their way out to greater areas to prove themselves. You only have a couple songs, minimal clothing options, and just one place to grind the rails. When you start the game, you do not have access to everything quite yet.

At first glance, we do have ourselves here a cute skateboarding game with birds on miniaturized skate parks that have some funny parts to them made from straws, magazines, pizza boxes, duct tape, and more, and it is a nice little aesthetic that give SkateBIRD a unique look and feel unlike anything else in the skater game market.
