 A game all it's own July 25, 2008
This game is such a breath of fresh air from Tony Hawk. I've been playing the series since Pro Skater 4 but EA's skate really does an awesome job of breaking free from the button mashing of Tony Hawk and makes it a whole new experience. It's much more laid back and down to earth than any skateboarding game before it. I highly recommend you rent or purchase skate and be on the lookout for the sequel coming soon.
Thumbs Up:
- use of real life brands and magazines make the game more realistic
- the new flick-it controls are unbelievably fun to play around with
- graphics and sound are nicely done and the overall presentation matches the skateboarding culture
- the instant replay is a blast to use, you will crash and crash and love ever single minute of it
Thumbs Down:
- for those like me who are use to pulling off 50 tricks in a single line in Tony Hawk might have an early learning curve as the new controls and camera angle might get you frustrated in the beginning
- Some of the music is a little off and weird, luckily you can choose to turn off any songs you don't wish to hear
- Some of the loading times are randomly long especially going to watch a saved replay
- you cannot delete any photos, videos, or profiles from within the game, you must navigate to the saved game directory in the cross media bar
 virtual skating July 15, 2008
If youd like a game that mimics real life skating, this is your game, but if you just want to acid drop off skyscrapers and grind forever go buy a tony hawk game.
Another Best Ever July 10, 2008
DO NOT PLAY TONY HAWK AFTER THIS...you will be disappointed, this is the most fun I have had playing a skate game, some of the tricks are tough, but they are in real life too. LOTS to do, huge open map. Lots of pros, big time sponsors, buy it right now.
Best Skateboard game yet!! May 10, 2008
This game blows all the tony hawks out of the water!!! The only thing that I didn't like is the background is a little choppy sometimes and the game could of been longer. highly recomend this game if you like skating!
Best Skateboarding Game! April 20, 2008
This game is revolutionary! THe control scheme is amazingly better than Tony Hawk and is much better in general. Because of this game, I will never buy another tony hawk game again. I highly recommend this game.
