yeah its true the Tony Hawks games got stale but it was not the controls/acrade feel fault, it was somthing else that i cant think of. But here comes skate.I personally dont like the right stick controls but seriously, is that the reason why ppl loved the 1st skate?

8.3 is a flop? i haven't played the skate series but i think it's the realism the game gives off, not the ridiculous 2000 foot fly into the air in a trolley and then smash through a window, landing perfectly on a moving truck that tony hawk has become.

I don't think many people were rating skate AAA. So it is not a flop.

If it doesint come up with something new to make it feel fresh by the 3 or 4th game it will start to see the tony hawk syndrom. Its still a fun game. I played the demo and had a good time. I would get it if there wasint games I wanted more.

I didn't even care about the game to begin with, I grew tired of skateboarding games so it wouldn't bother me much.

8.3 was a score I was expecting from the game. This isn't a flop at all.

I actually didnt like the demo. I loved the first SKATE. I still play it to this day but SKATE2 just felt different for some reason and I didnt find it as enjoyable. Anyways, 8.3 isnt a flop unless its hyped AAA. Which it was not. So good day.

I was expecting a 6.5 or something because of the title. Though playing the demo, the only two thing i disliked about it was the time limit the demo had (which won't be on retail) and that counter that comes up when you fall and break your legs or other part of the body. That felt a little like tony hawk. I will probably get this if i can find it for 19 pounds /25 euros or if i still have money after i bought Street fighter 4 + fight stick and Killzone 2.

You fail to note the sarcasm. My God, this is such a fail thread.

It didn't flop, it in fact did very good. Get over it.

Seriously calling a 8.3 rating a flop is pretty silly. Heck it even says "impressive" under it >.>

I'll be picking up this game for sure, it looks fun, the demo was pretty annoying because of the timer but of course that won't be in the final version.

The demo was pretty fun. I live doing tricks with the analog, LOVE the soundtrack, and the customization is much deeper than I expected. I may just buy the game. Would be my first skateboard game in years.

8.3 a flop hmm....Seeing as the PS3 and 360 versions got equal reviews that should mean there are no frame rate problems for the PS3 which is good.

You don't know CJ. Anything below 8.5 is barely above renting on quality scale. :P

Skate wasn't different just for the sake of it. The controls weren't the main reason why it was so good; the realistic feeling gameplay and easy to use community features went a long way to boost it above what would otherwise be an average but original game.

I played the demo, and the controls were really innovative, but the characters were awful. I hate the skateboarding stereotype... It's the most annoying of them all, and the one most frequently applied.

the game was barely being talked about. the game is great game. i like the skate game it feels like it is actually really skateboarding. i like how the review saids the controls are the same... there are barely any other tricks to do. if u look at any skateboarding video all u see are spins, kickflip healflips, varials, 360 flips, shove- its.

i like the skate series more then tony hawk series the older hawk games are better then the current ones.

Who are you trying to fool? First of all, 8.3 is an "impressive" score. Second of all, the Skate series craps all over any Tony Hawk game. Getting this day one.
