Skate is one of the few great games to come out before the holiday season. With an innovative idea that no other....(well Tony Hawk mainly) hasn't tried. Press X then square and right at the same time...it won't be a kickflip. The idea to use the analog sticks for an entire games trick set is pretty crazy. The gameplay it's self favors timed precision rather than relentless mashing. If your proned to anger fits please do not pick this game up SixAxis controllers are not cheap you know. This game will frustrate you at times, heavily so. The new controls are hard to do and with little satisfaction afterwards. A good 360 nollie Laser Flip to a grind is hard. Really hard. And you will have to do tricks like this throughout story mode. The game is somewhat short compared to my avg. 40 hrs per game. Online lacks alot of cleanup and sheer game. Not alot to do and too crowded when all you have playing is 4 players. Graphically this game is a master piece. Besides the weird camera angles and blatant ads this game is super pretty to look at. If you like skateboarding at all or want something new from Tony Hawk, try this....it won't disappoint. Gameplay 8.5 - good but needs cleanup
Graphics 9.5 - truly top notch
Sound 7.5 - good song list yet bad professional skater dialogue Lasting Appeal -7.0 it will last you but once it's over...theres no reason to go back.
