    Quote:

    Following on EA's breakthrough success with the innovative original, this follow-up to Skate promises to once again push the envelope for skateboarding fans.


    Quote:
    ...According to the skaters in the clips, five years have passed in the gameworld -- Skate's fictional city of San Vanelona -- and large corporations have spearheaded a big-time crackdown on skating. They talk of harsher punishment than mere tickets and how obstacles have been put in place near rails and other prime trick spots to discourage skaters. Still, the second clip shows a skater and his board perched defiantly atop a concrete block with a "No Skateboarding" sign affixed to it. So, skateboarding is a crime after all -- at least in Skate 2 -- and it looks like you'll be sticking it to the man (in this case, big business) a la Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.

I played the beginning but found it too frustrating (or I'm too bad for it:P )

I remember the first one getting good reviews but never tried it, would it be fun to play even if I don't care about the skating culture (moronic if you ask me Razz) at all?

yes it is! but as the controls are very different, it can be frustrating if u don't "get it" fast.
I think the game is great, I just wished I knew how to play it properly Smile

Man, I was going to play Skate last night. But, I put the disc in and nothing happened. So, I took the disc out and at first what looked like a scratch from the center ring to the outside was actually a full crack.

Dammit! I must have bent the case when I took it to a friend's house.

Inz, YES!!! I don't care about the skating culture and I love this game. It's so easy to play and now that they are implementing the get off the board feature, it's not going to be as frustrating to get back on the sidewalk.

This game is nothing like the Tony Hawk series where the skating is insanely over the top. Of course, it's not completely realistic, but it's damn closer than TH.

I will now be purchasing a used copy of the first Skate to replace my broken one. Pisses me off!

Also, Gamestop shows 3/3/09 as the shipping date. Sad

yeah but I'll miss my 1080s Sad Wink

I only tried skate for an hour or two... it's hard compared to Tony Hawk ... I'm so used to TH universe/controls (been playing since THPS 2 on PC) that it's hard to imagine a different control mechanism.

Skate is one of my favorite games of all fucking time. And that's saying alot Razz

And nouse, you can still make 1080's, but they are hard, just like in real life Smile Wich makes it even sweeter when you land one Very Happy

1080 to 1080 in the X-games mega jump & ramp is awesome!

Yeah, it's always tough adapting to new control schemes. But what I really like about Skate is that you don't press a button to automatically hit the rail. You actually have to time your jump and land it yourself.

I went to the store and it's $35 used and $40 new. This was the first game that I blindly purchased and felt I definitely got my money's worth. Not many games are worth $100 (paid $60 the first time), but this one just might be. I am very upset that mine is broken and I will probably be picking up another new copy. Besides... the devs deserve it for this game.

Looking forward to this. Played Skate one hell of a lot last year.

The controls are tricky but once you get the hang of them it, the game is awesome. So open and you can pretty much do tricks anywhere. Makes Tony Hawk look so arcadey and childlike.

Potentially my game of the year 2009 and considering we're in january, thats saying a lot.
Roll on tomorrow (or later today actually)
