I think you can. I'm not sure though. I was playing the game when my friend bought it and it was pretty good. Too complicated for my liking but overall its still a good game. You should watch some reviews of both games if you're unsure.

Ya i can't decide either. I've played the skate demo like 50+ times. I love halo too even though i haven'treally played halo 2 that much. And I'm going to buy one of them in a few days so I'm kinda frustrated :?.

All depends about spoilers. Halo 3...you come online when more and more play, you will be caught off guard when spoilers are part of normal talk, cuase most have played. If you don't care there is no rush for either!

If I was you, I wouldn't even ask myself if I should buy skate. or not...do it! The only reason I'm not playing it right now is because my power cable fried (damn you extra cooling fan).

Yeah, although I wanted Skate more, I bought Halo 3 so I can grow along with the online community and play with my real life friends while it is fresh. For me, Skate will be just as enjoyable when I buy it in a month or so, Halo 3, not so much.

How did it fail? For the first game in the series it got really good reviews, sure not Halo 3 great but much better than any recent Tony Hawks game but I still think Jeff should ammend his review as it just sounded like he wasn't very good at teh game and blamed teh game rather than himself.

I didn't base it on Jeff's review though, im just saying Halo 3 will offer more, But at the end of the day its what ever tickles ur Pickle....FPS or Skateboarding........?

i dont understand being confused between the 2. it's halo3 msn. but to put your mind at ease skate is an ea game, it would be monthly if ea thought you would buy more than 1 a year. ea is about quanity, not quality.

I had the same kind of decision to make as you. I decided on buying Halo 3, and just continuing to play the skate demo. You can do a lot of cool stuff in the demo level, and it seems to be fulfilling my skating desires until I can get the whole game. Plus it helps me realize that I shouldn't play for too long (timed demo)since I have to get up for work in the mornings.

Edit: I just saw you made your decision like 2 hours ago, but I'll keep this up anyway for anyone else who might have the same question. Have fun with skate.

i've bought only two games since summer, skate and halo 3. halo is incredibly overhyped, i laughed aloud during the last level. the game's true merits lie in it's multiplayer, which, is great.

but, i play skate A LOT, and i don't see that dying anytime soon. also, the learning curve is so great on skate, i feel like I need to play it to keep up with the best for we all know, there will be sequils.

+ for skate

Skate is a very fun game. It hasa lotto offer and you could spend hours or mins and still have fun w/ it.I often find myself trying and retrying jumps off spotstrying to make the bestvid or highest scores, not even paying attention to the main missions. It does suffer from some glitchs,tech issues and freshman woes, but over all the game is well done. The game is missing a park editoror tricks selection that Tony Hawk has but it is a much more satisfying experience.Online is pretty good their are a good amount of options available and is a blast w/ a few friends. Over all i would say its prob an 8.0 - 8.5.

its a hard question because halo is a long awaited hyped up game where as skate is game that you know you will be able to pick up and play once u learn how to play like project 8 for example.i spend about an hour a day on that sometimes 2 becuase i can just play it whenever i want where as halo i would have to sit down and be prepared to spend a certain amount of time on it. oh and im in the same situation lol.

I myself couldn't decide between Halo 3 and Skate so I bought both.

Basically I'd get Skate but that's just me, I enjoy Skate more than Halo 3, for some reason I don't know why. I play Skate more and Halo 3 is same old, But its Halo, so.

Heck Its confusing...

If you want to play Halo 3 for Multiplayer, Graphics and the Story, get it, but basically thats all thats new.

And for Skate, its new, but Frustrating, If you don't mind shouting at the TV when you can't win a competition, Get Skate, because its much more rewarding when you finally do it.

First you have to Unlock the X-Games, Then Yes I think you can do it anytime you want, Although I haven't unlocked it yet, I think its obvious as you can Skate what you like in Skate.

Yeh getting off your board would be pretty cool, Hopefully it'll be in Skate 2 (if they make it, which they probably will).

Yer, There's alot of Skateparks, the whole city is packed full of Skatespots too, Such as bowls, Pipes, rails, Basically if you think about it, the whole city is a skatepark.

But there's a nice Skatepark called "The Plan B Warehouse" which has a halfpipe and a couple of other things.

The city is about 5 times the Size of Tony hawks project 8, Maybe bigger.
