A company called Mongocorp is spearheading the reconstruction effort, intending to restore the city to its glory days.

Now, after five years in exile, you must return to the city where you once made a name for yourself. Only by reviving your own career and working with a band of determined locals can you reinvigorate the local skate scene and take back San Van for the skaters, one spot at a time.Get ready to show off your sickest tricks as you prove you have what it takes to own every spot in New San Vanelona.

Great and fun game. My Husband loves it! There is a lot of profanity in this game. I don't think that's necessary. I wouldn't want a child playing this game and learning these words!

This game is amazing. If you skate it is a must have. THe map is huge and just skating around is always fun. the only things i dislike about it is the walking controls aren't very good, no multiplayer freeskate, and some challenges are very difficult. Overall best skating game ever, and you should definately get it if you were considering it.

Best Skateboarding Game

This is a great skateboarding game. The skateboarding tricks are realistic, unline the Tony Hawk Games. In this game, you really have to fine-tune your skills to pull off hard tricks. In Tony Hawk, you just mash several buttons at the same time and you do flips and spins over buildings. The replay feature is great!! You can create your own realistic skate-videos.

This is the BEST skateboarding game... ever!

This is by far the BEST skateboarding game... ever!!! If you'd played the first SKATE game, you would know what this game's all about. Its even better than the first. For people that likes the Tony Hawk series of games wherein you push a single button to do kickflips and grinds, this is not even close to that. This is so much more realistic. Controls are not for kids! lol. If you skate in real life, this game is a must have!

I bought the first skate when it came out and I really liked it. I bought skate 2 he first day it came out. I'm impressed. The map is a lot easier now that you can transport really anywherwe you want. It doesnt show the streets, but thats not a big deal to me. The graphics are so much better now, ecspecially on my 1080p hdtv. The getting off the board controls are a little wierd, but its not too bad. I love how you can move stuff around, i figured out that if you move something it stays there until a pedestrian moves it, even if you restart it will still be there. The bail controls are really neat because while falling you can do a dive, spread eagle, cannonball ect. This time you can actually get money by doing good bails. There is a much faster cash flow in skate 2 which allows me to buy more. There are twice as many tricks you can do now like handplants, hippie hump ect. There is really no story like the first skate. Its a sequal to skate because it actually talks about what you did in skate 1(being skater of the year).
Over all this game is awsome and there is really no reaso not to buy it, so buy it. Its worth it!!!!!!!!!!!
