Cons: Has frame rate issues. Fairly often it bogs down but the only time it is a major issue is right when you need a stable rate in order to pull off a trick for a challenge. Pain in the rear. Pros: Everything else about the game. It feels like a cross between GTA and Tony Hawk. Been playing for a few days now and I find myself jsut skating around the city wasting time for a good number of hours until I remember I am supposed to be doing challenges.

I recommend Skate to anyone that is even remotely interested in a skateboarding game. Grab the demo off of the PSN and give it a shot if you aren't sure. Hell, grab the demo for TH: Proving ground as well. Put them head to head and then go buy Skate.
