We all have very fond memories of the arcade action gameplay of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games that we've played over the years. Then when we got our hands on the Skate series which brought an element of realism into the world of skateboarding video games. But where's the happy medium?

Well your prayers have been answered in the form of Mike V: Do or Die; an awesome new skating game for the iPhone and iPod touch. Not only do you get to play as pro skater Mike Vallely, but you can follow his entire career, customize his avatar, and even drive around in his '77 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird. The controls are intuitive and fun, similar to the Skate series, but you can still grab the big air like you used to in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Check out what Mike Vallely had to say about the game in his interview with G4, and be sure to check out Mike V: Do or Die in the iTunes Apps Store. Skate or Die!

    Have any of you actually played the game? it's for sure the best skateboarding game out there for the iPhone. I was sick of playin cartoony sk8terboy games with bad controls... I am having so much fun with this, this is as close as it gets to THPS.

    Mike Vallely is a horrible skater and person. The guy is a giant tool. He should stop doing anything in life. Hey mike...become a hermit would ya.

    Wow I just purchased this game and its amazing!

    The game is a bit tricky at first, but very challenging and once you are used to the controls you can really pull some crazy tricks and combos. I compare it more to EA Skate in terms of gameplay.

    The controls look intuitive, but the gameplay looks terrible; he's in the middle of a huge air and his character is just standing there!
