    I reviewed the new game Skate It for Wii on the Wii Balance Board. You play as a skater with a sidekick videotaping you to get noticed. The game controls are simple—you can use the Wii Remote or the Balance Board—and your profile is completely customizable. If you compare it with other console games, the graphic are only okay, but they're pretty good if you compare with other Wii games. Skate It is good and bad in equal measure; the career mode can be a bit confusing and difficult, but sticking with free skate all the time can be tedious. If you're able to follow the career base, then it's a great game for you. If not, than hopefully you won't get too bored doing free skate over and over again.
