We've been talking about it and recently played it too, but probably the easiest explanation of just how the controls in the upcoming Skate It will work has just been released by EA in the form of a 'basic controls' guide.

Unlike Tony Hawk's Motion, with its recently announced accelerometer and tilt controls, Skate It uses the slightly less revolutionary system of drawing lines on a virtual skateboard on the DS touch screen to pull off moves in the game. Less revolutionary maybe, but when pogo comes to shuv it, if they work better then who's complaining?

Skate It is due for release this autumn in the US. A UK date hasn't been announced yet, but we'd expect to hear news of one soon. Click 'Track It!' to be kept up to date on all the game's latest news.
