it was extremely boring, all the animations were whack, the new city "new san van" (real creative name...not) wasnt authentic and was depressingly lacking good spots unlike skate 1's city which was extremely authentic and had great spots that you would search for for hours and still have more to find, like skate 1 the physics are lame and unrealistic and also make the game extremely unrealistic contradictory to the devs who claim the game is the most realistic skateboarding game and is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually getting on the board, the story was cliche and repetitive, total letdown. doesnt deserve the hype. skate 1 was alot better. hopefully skate 3 will be realistic or another company will start some competition. as a skateboarder i find this game to be very unrealistic and it doesnt represent skateboarding.
