FIrst thing i must say is that i LOVE the gameplay. I haven't spoken to anyone who agrees with me on that point but if you want to create those moments you see on youtube which skaters do, this is perfect. The replay editor, in which you can edit your movements of the last 30 seconds into a stylish personal film, is surprisingly rewarding and simply a wonderful addition. However I must say i think the story is terrible. I won't go into what it is but it isn't worth the effort. The pedestrians who seem do take time out of their lives to go into your skating path get very annoying, as does the traffic for simply being there. Don't be deterred though because the gameplay alone is so sweet none of this matters. RENT FIRST though because it is an ACQUIRED TASTE and you dont want to waste money!… Expand

Love it. The game play is epic. The fact the it's easy to get use to is good. I like that you can unlock nasty hall of meat spots and after you complete a set of challenges like the Danny Way Challenges you unlock a bunch of spots. Overall I would give this game a 10/10

The best game in the series; Skate offered a fresh and original alternative to the Tony Hawk franchise, and Skate 2 is the game that put the final nail in Activision's dying series. Literally double the amount of tricks of its predecessor, a finetuned flickit system and the ability to get off your board and move objects around are just a few of the dozens of improvements found in Skate 2. There are a few niggling problems; the storyline is pretty underdeveloped and there are quite a few bugs (especially when walking around off-board) but overall this is simply put the most realistic skateboarding game of all time.… Expand

Disappointment. This game is bad in just about every sense of gameplay aesthetics. Wonky controls, horrible camera, shotty frame-rate, horrible level design, poor online modes, and the fact that the game just does not work. You can do some complicated flick only to have your skater perform a shuv-it. Grinding can be nearly immposible because the camera is so low to the ground that you have little depth perception. The challenges are retared, also. Racing, which is the worst, is downright bad. The camera, again, limits your turning, and your sight of oncoming cars, pedestrians, and other skaters. I really wanted to like Skate.. I really wanted to like Skate 2. However, both of these gamesa re garbage, and the fact that people buy and cream over these games just means that EA will do nothing to fix such huge issues and put out the same crap next year.… Expand

All I'm going to say is this, the game has crappy challenges which some are glitchy with no button registration and glitches through moveable ramps that prohibit from moving on, its a pain and this game is sorely a fucking miss compared to the first skate.

"Overall the development team should be commended for making another excellent skating title. Everything runs really smoothly and it seems to have come together really well. The new features add on to what was already a fun experience with the original. " or..... EA can just lay them all off.... Good call.

I liked it at first but then when I played it more, it got frustrating and boring. Disappointed with this game. It just wasn't getting me to play more.
