One mission had me landing manuals on a small platform. This was fine at first, until the manuals eventually got more complicated (I, for the life of me, could still not tell you what defines a switch manual). My time was better spent skating around, ignoring missions, and just discovering things for myself. Therein lies one of the highlights of Session. Just skating around looking for spots to pull of tricks. At the time of this review there are nine maps spread across New York and Philadelphia. Players can easily access each map in the menu or travel there via a bus stop menu or your board. Maps vary from parking garages to parks and bridges. Crea-ture highlights some maps as legendary skate spots (such as Black Hubbas and FDR park), but to the untrained skater eye, these can come off as just another set of stairs to ollie and rails to grind. Don’t get me wrong, the maps are great and offer enough variety across them, but at the end of the day I just wanted a set of stairs I could pull off flip tricks on for my camera. Session fully embraces the clip aspect of skating. If you’ve ever wanted to create a skate clip, but can’t skate to save your life, Session is your best bet at skateboard clip fame.
