Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you've ever played any of the tony hawk games from the past. You know how it felt to be a big time skate boarder. But in this game you have all new thoughts about that! This game brings a whole new way to play with its one of a kind flick-it controls. Its probably the best way to do tricks instead of pushing random buttons to do tricks. this game has a fantastic story line. You start out as some punk kid trying to go pro like any game. But along the way you get sponser for your board,trunks,shoes,and wheels. You do gnarly shots for skate board mags, and become one of the best skaters of all time. The game has a huge map and great locations like the X-Games and downtown (just to name a few). The online play is real fun. There is something for everyone from rookies which can use freeskate and unranked matches, all the way to the pros with ranked matches. There are about 7 events. S.K.A.T.E, Best trick, and all the way to Death races. If you dont have this game yet, I must insist that you go out and buy this game now! Its will a game that you love and replay for a long time.

Great new skateboard game. It can be difficult getting used to the controls especially if you've been into the Tony Hawk series for the last decade. But the options of board contol and manuverability make up for the hour or two it will take to overcome it. If your into skateboarding you will be amazed at the similarity to real life. Manuals aren't just forward-backward-balance. You have to find the "sweet spot" in between riding four wheels and leaning far back. The point system is nothing like Tony Hawk games. No more 2 million combo runs. Common lines are a few thousand. Video editing is just another perk in the game. Peice together skate photage and many different camera angles with many filters to make completely unique videos to share and store. Start from the bottom with playing S.K.A.T.E with locals to being a full sponsored skateboarder in this next generation real life skateboard game. Skateboard through the winter, purchase SKATE.

I have not played the game as much to review about its storyline/challenges, but this is a great game for Tony Hawks fans and Skateboard fans. 1 thing I hate most about Skate is not choosing a gender; I love Tony Hawks because I can make myself, a female, and the story would still be the same. Another thing i find irritating is that you can't get off your board to walk around and explore; you skate forever. Which gets annoying if you want to just walk up some stairs instead of jumping. Overall It is a fun game and price is nice and cheap, but I am not sure If i would get Skate 2, which comes out next month; I may go back to Tony Hawks.

Skate is the best skateboarding game ever. it destroys tony hawk because its very realistic. You cant pull of a quad kickflip with no air like in tony. The controls are sweet and they make every grind and flip exciting because its not just pushing one button. Theres a lot of customization. My only complaint would be that a lot of tricks have been left out. A lot of grabs and flips are not included. Still a sweet game that i would play over and over again.

i played the demo of this game and the demo of TH proving grounds. this game was so good that i had 2 go get the whole game. and TH proving ground is the worst game evr. DO NOT GET TONY HAWK PROVING GROUNDS. I REPEAT DO NOT GET TONY HAWK PROVING GROUND. DO NOT GET IT. GET SKATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best skate game ever. I bought it for the ps3 a month ago. It is so worth the money. The graphics are incredible and its very realistic. The flickit controls might be confusing at first, but once you figure it out, it just adds to the realism. The onlineline is great. You can upload your own footage to the web and view others. It is so much better than tony hawk.

i have only had this game for one day and it's already tight. the game is so sick.iy may not have as many tricks in it,but it is more realistic and mature. i skate in real life and i think the game is real.like when i did a tre flip to frontside fakie switch crooked grind.

Skate is a game that pushes on the realism of skateboarding. So that means no 40ft jumps of ramps, no 1080 degree spins, no traveling without pushing the board etc. I feel that the hardcore skater will love this feature added on Skate. The only reason I see that's a downfall for skate is the lack of story (Mission here a mission there and your done). Something that's been through at least 2-3 Tony Hawk's already. Graphics, gameplay and controls feel very smooth (I was confused for a little while pushing the A botton to jump instead of the analog stick). But I feel that the controls are batter than Hawk's once getting use to the game. I personally love the game and found it a lot of fun (but I am judging for everyone here). I can see it getting 7.0-8.5 but nothing really higher than that. I feel that Skate is worth the $59.99 unless you really love Tony hawk games....

everything about this game is amazing except for the map it makes it kinda tuff to find your way around

i have heard of this game for awhile and i couldnt care less until i saw the trailers and seen the screen shots. i played the deom at my friends house and this game blew me away. not only are the graphics amazing but the skate world is huge. you can pretty much go anywhee you want with no limitation. if u are looking for the next gen game for your playstation 3 BUY SKATE YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

So it is a great game, no button mashing or anything. the tricks are no longer just a button, you have to work on getting a trick. the gameplay is great, its like watching a skate movie. there is vinetting in the corners to make it look like a wide angle or a fisheye lens like it is through the eye of a camera. AND you can edit clips and make your own videos. This is a great game. Plus it supports 1080

I originally Bought Tony Hawk Proving Ground, until I got home and read the reviews...I ran back to the store and exchanged it for Skate. I couldn't be happier. After 5 min of playing, my friend and I couldn't stop laughing at the different crashes we had. It DOES have a free Skate option unlike Tony Hawk. This game is perfect..especiallly at the $39 price...get it!!

If you like a button pusher game, this game isn't for you. Setup every part of your trick starting with the jump to your landing with the analog sticks. I think this may be the most realistic skate board game out there. A lot of diffrent challenges keep you hooked for hours trying to get sponsors to sign you. Great game to have...

SKATE. is the best skate game i have ever played. It is so realistic, you cant grind on high tension wires, or get hit by a car and nothing happen (like in some other skate games). This game gives you a chance to express yourself as a skater even if your not one. Everything is customize-able, your face, your hair, your body build, your hat, your shirt, your pants, your shoes, your deck, your trucks, your wheels, your skate style, everything. And the coolest part is the fact that to do a trick your not just a button combo, you have to actualy move the board a certain way to do a trick as if your skating in real life. And when you finaly nail a trick, it gives you a feel of acomplishment. The only thing i dont like about this game is the online, it sucks, but every thing else about the game rocks. I would recomend this even if you have never stepped on a skateboard in your life.

Skate is much more of a "groove" type game where you are immersed in the laid back attitude of skateboarding. The controls primarily use the two analog sticks to do the board work, and while this takes an hour or two to get used to, it's amazing to work with once you're used to the controls. Nice NEW idea in a stale genre. Also, now that Sony has announced the Dual Shock 3, hopefully they'll offer a patch for this that supports rumble on the PS3!

I have been waiting for this game for a long time. No kidding, almost 2 years now. I saw this game on the tv show Rob and Big during the first season of the show. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this game. My friend has the game for 360 and he says it is awesome. You have 20 something pro skaters in the game and the graphics are sweet. I know many of you reading this may understand the controls of this game, so I wont get into detail about them. Although I will say that if you search "Skate video game" on images on google, you may recieve a very helpful image of almost all of the tricks you can do with the controls. This can be very helpful because it can be hard to remember all of the tricks. That is all I have to say about skate and that I am so excited to be able to purchase it in less than a week!

This game is great. Hours of fun. Cool tricks. Awesome skaters and tricks. Huge maps in storymode. Great graphics. Cool Music. Get it will it's hot. Very realistic. A lot better than the Tony Hawk seris. only bad thing is that you can't get off your board and walk around, and the storymode challenges can be tough at times.

This game is def.. one of my favorites. There is a huge world to explore. It kinduv reminds me of Grand Theft Auto of skate boarding... It's awsome.. the new controls are awsome.. Somtimes the camera angle is kinduv annoying because you can't (directly see the rail comming up ahead). I wish that there was a way to look around to look at some of the area your in.. It would be help.. there maybe a way to do it. I don't know.. I guess the freedom you have in this game is what I like so much!!! I prefer the feel of this game over tony hawk any day lol!

ea's (skate) is the best skateboarding game of all time. the new "flick-it" control is amazing,its kinda weird at first but just practice for like 30 minutes and you improve. its not like TH where everything is so easy and there is no skill at all. "skate" challenges the player with a gameplay that test the players skill. tricks are clean, grinds are smooth. story mode is pretty cool actually. but remember, the sponser you choose will be your sponser for the entire story mode.graphics are really good, sound is amazing, and the gameplay is stunning. you could be cruising around for hours finding hundreds of spots that you can just own. -gameplay=4.5 -graphics=4.2 -sound=5 -online=3.8 -overall=4.5

i love this game i just got it for ps3. i think it is the best skating game out there. I have been with tony hawk for ever and i have all his games except proving grounds, witch i dont think ill be buying because i dont think you can get much better than skate. the only thing is it dosent have much of a story line to it. other than that this is a realy fun game. i wonder what skate2 will be like? all i can do is wate. i hope all of you have as much fun as i am with this game.
