Mar 27, 20115this game is compleatly awsome and amazing up until the point where it gets so hard it is impossible to continue in the career. the graphics the game play and everything about this game is amazing but i cant give this game a high score because there is a point in the game where it is impossible to go any farther in the game due to the difficulty.

ValC.Jan 27, 20108Okay, the game is great, and the best skater game in many, many years, but it's ridiculously difficult to beat many of the challenges and goals that the middle of the game brings. You think you're doing one trick when you accidentally do another, so it's not really the best control scheme either.

MattL.Jul 2, 200810This game beats tony hawks by far. It takes time to learn the tricks instead of 5 mins. Some of the challenges are insane but it all is worth it in the end.And video/screenshots is a nice addition .One of my favorite games of all time.

MichelS.Feb 25, 200810The best version for the game: the PS3! It has better floor textures than the 360 version.

MasJ.Jan 13, 20088Fun for 10 hours or so experimenting on tricks around the city. Graphics and physics are great. If you think a trick should be possible, it probably is thanks to very detailed modelling of surfaces. Instant replay of great tricks is fun to watch. Once the thrill of landing a great trick wears off, there isn't much to keep it from being a trade-in.

RickardH.Jan 7, 20089A nice refresh of the Skate genre after playing alot of Tony Hawk's games. They are also good but this sets a new standard!

BradleyB.Oct 7, 200710Far better than the worn out & overplayed Tony Hawk franchise of games. Far less poseur gear (I.E. no Element) & also showcases some pro skaters that are worthy of the press.

LordXellosSep 21, 20079I think this is an awesome game for people who like showing off,i also think the graphics are pretty good 2 :-) the main thing i liked about it is the tricks are more of a challenge to do its not just button mashing witch is very stupid cuz all the Xbox,ps2,ps3.... games come with a manual telling you how to do all the tricks.

88As a brand new IP, based on an idea that could have completely blown up in EA's face, skate is an amazingly complete experience. Those who choose to relax and skate leisurely -- looking for cool lines and taking on the occasional challenge -- will likely find the most enjoyment.

90Built around utterly convincing physics and animation systems and a unique control scheme that's equal parts challenge and reward, it manages to be realistic without being discouraging and feels completely different from not only the competition, but from anything else out there.

These controls feel great, and they really need to since the game isn’t in the slightest bit forgiving. When you go for a grind, you won’t magically be transported onto the rail. You have to line it up and pray that you time your jump and adjoining trick correctly.
