Skate - PlayStation 3

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. My Ratings: Gameplay: 5.0 Graphics: 4.2 Sound: 5.0 Entertainment: 5.0 Quality:5.0

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....
