Mike V: Aggro on your iPhone

Mike V: Do or Die has been out for about a week now. Reviews are mixed, some people love it, while others are perplexed by what appears to be a driving game grafted onto a skateboard title. Which begs the question, if you can drive around the city, can you stop off at a hockey game and fight some fans? (Cue Rimshot) But seriously folks… One of the things that lookspretty cool is the fact that you can play as Mike during different points in his career, including the Powell days, complete with licensed Bones t-shirt in the graphics. Actually, the developers made a big deal about the fact that there are licensed products in the game. What does that remind you of? As a pacifist, I’m waiting for the less macho lite version tentatively titled “Mike V: Live and Let Live.”

  • i never understood why would people like to do something on the computer (or iphone) when they can do it in real life where it is much more enjoyable. Kinda like those virtual sex games people were buzzing about ten years ago…wait, gotta check updates on Youporn…ahhhh, now i get it.

    skater nation is a much better game for the iphone, the control on this mike v. game is not very responsive and so the game is pretty frustrating and not fun

    In the still above, Mike V. looks more like Chuck Liddel with shades. BTW why aren’t you a Devils fan Mike? Aren’t you from NJ? They killed those faggity-ass-marks, The Sharks the other night haha.

    Hey, everyone! Thanks for posting this, Mr. Kilwag. I’m very flattered and want to thank everyone for taking it easy on me after I stomped that guy at that Ducks game. I did it for my young daughter. Hope you all enjoy the video game, and I hope to see you out skating sometime. Namaste!

  • tuck knee tail grab? i thought mike v. only did one foot japan airs?
