Skate 2 is really really bad! Its resembles Tony Hawk in many ways and these changes do not suit Skate! Danny Way has a challenge that you cant start intill your on a rooftop well good luck getting up there. The Session Markers are BROKEN in Skate 2, you can nolonger place them wherever you want which was really useful for Online Multiplayer. The problem is you cant gain huge air anymore and many of the challanges require you to get huge air to complete them and you will spend 45min to 3 hours trying to complete these challenges its very frusterating. The rotation speed is anougher huge problem its too SLOW! EA rushed this game and the end result is a Tony Hawk type game. Im very disappointed with this game. Skate 1 should of got a 10/10. But Skate 2 fails in so many ways. If EA would of just kept everything the same and made Skate 2 like OG Skate than many gamers would be satified. This game will make you scream and yell at the T.V. I have over 100 hours logged into Skate 1 and I have 1000 GS it is my favorite game. If you are skepital on whether to buy Skate 2just read my Review and stick with OG Skate its way better.
