X-Bladez: Inline Skater is a 2002 sports video game developed by Vision Scape Interactive and published by Crave Entertainment for the PlayStation. A version for the Game Boy Advance was developed by The Code Monkeys. Upon release, X-Bladez received negative reviews, with critics citing its simplistic design and the difficulty involved in completing tricks.
X-Bladez is an extreme sports game in which players compete in aggressive inline skating races over thirteen tracks based in five different countries. Races are held in Tour Mode, involving a series of races, Time Mode, timed races, and a free-form Practice Mode. Players perform flips, spins, and grinds across slalom and circuit courses to finish in the first place. Players can collect and use power-ups across levels, including boosts for speed. The game features a Shop for players to upgrade their skates and wheels to improve performance in acceleration, top speed, balance and cornering.
