Skate is EA's entrance to the skateboarding world, and they made a great game while at the same time making a frustrating one. Skate brings a whole new level to the meaning of a realistic game. Every push and trick of the board makes you feel like your actually on one. It's pretty hard to get use to the way you move around on your board, and just when you think you know what you are doing, they throw a bunch of very complicated tasks and goals to accomplish. The goals can be easy if you get lucky, but for the most part they are very hard in my opinion. The graphics and visuals for Skate are created very nicely and look great, but the frame rate can really upset you. When you have difficult goals and an inconstant frame rate, things can get pretty frustrating. Doing tricks and grinding rails are a lot of fun since you have to actually land on the rail or move the analog stick for a trick. Most of the time you actually have more fun just skating around and playing online then actually doing the career mode. In my opinion, Skate was worth the money and change from the Tony Hawk series. I enjoy skate a lot, but it can get me pretty stressed. If you like skateboarding games or just need a game that can kill some time, Skate is a game you might want to purchase. It's 1-4 players offline and online for multiplayer, which is a good addition since most games from the PS3 are only one player. In conclusion, Skate is a revolutionary game that will change the way you play a skateboarding game forever.
