If you played Skate 1 and liked it you'll most probably want to pick this game up. This game adds to what was already a great game. But not all the new features make this game amazing. The off board controls are the worst I've ever felt playing a skateboarding game. Some other things that may irritate players is that the security guards are all over the city now and they also out run you while your skating at top speed. And although some of the rails have bolts over them so you can't grind them they do let you call a person in to have him take them off. Another bad thing was that I think the game was to short and a lot easier then the first Skate. I finished this game about 2-3 days after I got it. One thing that a lot player might notice is that during jams and races, other skaters will run into you and it almost seems like it's on purpose. But besides the bad things, the create-a-spot feature is fun to play around with and is pretty easy once you get used to it. If you played Skate 1 you might not of liked the camera angle, they let you have an option now of zooming it out or you can keep it like where it was in the first Skate. Overall, this game is pretty good and does deserve a chance with all people who like skateboarding games.
