    For long time fans of the franchise, Skate 3 will seem very familiar, however it's hard to argue with a successful formula and this formula has worked like gangbusters so far.

    This latest chapter improves on virtually every aspect of its near-flawless fundamentals, while delivering more modes, missions, and multiplayer components, proving to fans that its days of resting on its laurels aren't here quite yet.

    Ultimately, it's all about the online: if you have an active social life on Xbox Live then Skate 3 is near-essential, but otherwise you might as well stick to last year's version.

    This game is fun to play with many great features. Graphics and audio effects are great too. I think skate 3 is most realistic skate game now in market. But big minus is that game gets boring and repetitive.… Expand

    Because Skate 2 improved on many of the shortcomings of Skate 1, I expected that Skate 3 would do the same. It does not. It actually feels and looks like they dumped their entire graphics engine. The player movement is less realistic, particularly in bails, where the crashing bodies lack the articulation so nicely rendered in Skate 2. The option for a high- or low-camera angle is frustrating because the up high looks boring but down low you can hardly see what's in front of you. The multiplayer adds a lot of team activities, and I'd say that these are a necessary component of the new game. Large multiplayer reliance obviously has ups and downs though. For example, as this game gets older less people will be playing it online and it will be harder to find teammates to do the challenges. Online multiplayer is a great idea in the start, but as a game gets phased out or eventually replaced by Skate 4, it will become obsolete. One of the most annoying changes is the lack of shared-controller multiplayer. In Skate 1 and 2 you can pass a controller between players (or just play 4 times yourself). This was great for playing in groups greater in number than my controller stock. The nuts and bolts of the gameplay is far inferior in Skate 3. Skating isn't as much fun, it doesn't look as cool, and it has loads of glitchy moments. The expanded multiplayer modes and park editor don't make this version a worthy upgrade. Get Skate 2 instead.… Expand
