Introduction
Welcome to Shaun White Skateboarding. If you have played Shaun White Snowboarding, the skateboarding version of the game will seem very familiar. Before deciding to 1000 this game, make sure you have a boosting partner lined up. Nobody plays this game online, so a boosting partner is required to obtain the 12 online achievements. Other than a boosting partner, Shaun White Skateboarding is a fairly easy 1000.
Step One: Single Player
Playing the single player first will teach you the ins and outs of the game, which will make the multiplayer easier when you get to that point. During the story you will learn new techniques such as rail shaping, which will help with certain achievements during the game. You can also use these skills to make accessing collectibles easier. In most games I recommend saving collectibles until last. Since the collectibles in Shaun White Skateboarding are easy, I would suggest grabbing them as they come up. You do not have to go out of your way to find collectibles, however grab any collectible that comes across your path. Any missed collectibles can also be picked up after the Story Mode ends. During both the Story and Free Play Mode (Unlocks after completing the Story Mode), you will be able to complete all 32 offline achievements. Any achievements relating to challenges cannot be completed until after completing the Story Mode. Once the Story Mode is complete, you can pull up your city map to access the challenges in each district. Clicking on each challenge will give you a directional arrow to help locate the challenge.
Step Two: Multiplayer
Again, a boosting partner is required since there are no players online. Boosting the 12 online achievements should take between 1½ and 2 hours. I recommend using the “Ministry Rooftops” map for every online achievement. This map is small, and has excellent places to gain flow and power-ups. The best place to boost achievements is on the pool side of this map.
Conclusion
Shaun White Skateboarding is a very easy 1000, and doesn’t take too long at 10-15 hours for full completion. The controls are very easy to pick up, and most tricks are easy to land. Overall, this is not a bad 1000, however the game does get boring after a while. I think we all can admit to having played worst games than this to boost our gamerscores.
