Its really hard to improve on skate games because theres very little new to add to them. Until you see a really, really, really good Wiimote skate add-on (Wii Fit, perhaps?) its the same game again and again

Wow, couldn't disagree more. Firstly, Skate was a huge advancement over previous skate titles. It was completely innovative and smashed the competition out of the water imo. Up until then I would agree that there had been very little variation since THPS.

Plus you could apply your argument to virtaully every other game franchise - Madden, Halo, Virtua Fighter etc etc.

I'm more than a little biased, because as an ex-skater I know I get much more out of this game than non-skaters would, but the additions they've made to the sequel look siiiiiiiiiiick.

cant wait for this!!!

hopefully they keep it real and don't try to make it like tony hawk games! i hate those games were you can ollie 20ft in the air, and all that other fake **** tony hawk throws in.

SKATE. also had a sick roster and create a character, maybe they can throw in a park editor, that would be sick

Don't know about a park editor, but you can move stuff like kickers and picnic benches around to create new lines.


I think the last thing they are going to do is make it like the Tony Hawk games, that's what made the first one such a standout title.

yeah im looking forward to being able to move benches and picnic tables.

i was always pissed off at THPS games because they are so fake and i was a skater who wanted to do real lines and tricks, when this game came out i was in heaven, i actually had to "learn" how to do a 360 flip, which took about a week lol

march is way to long to wait for this gem

For someone who LOVED THPS 1, but lost interest afterwards is this worth checking out?

Most definitely. Rent the first one or something, you won't be disappointed. Gameplay is completely different to Hawk games.

Skate >>>>>>>>>>> Tony Hawk

Skate is by far the best "I'm bored/drunk/stoned and want to **** around and listen to music game" EVER. Can't wait for the sequel.

When I'm playing other games I practice trey flips on the right stick during the loading screens.

I'd buy Skate 2 if the only change they made was the ability to get off your board.

I loved THPS2 but found Skate really boring. Realism is overrated.

i also love THPS2, but skate is not boring, unless you are not a real life skater

Just read on IGN that the demo is now on Xbox live. Anyone tried it yet? (i'm not online).

Also, release date seems to have moved forward from March to 23 Jan. Get in!!

Skate, easily the best demo ever available on Xbox Live
Skate 2 Quote

Yep, I see it available to download right now in the demo section. Downloading now!

1.51 GB though, pretty big for a demo. Strange that they bumped the release date up almost two months, but I'm not complaining.

it's out today? DAMNIT! i keep telling myself i need to slow down on buying games and movies =/

*edit* wtf there are no camera special effects included out of the box. you have to buy that feature via DLC, that's not cool! just read an IGN review with my IGN app on my iphone =/

What do you mean by camera special effects, for video editor? This ign app intrigues me, Is it n the app store or only for jailbrokens?

it's a regular app found in the store, free IIRC. by special effects? by default you won't be able to switch to black & white or that hue that looks like you're in an old western movie. haven't powered up my xbox to see how much it costs but that is super lame IMO

I'll check that app out. Not that big of a deal about FX, **** them for making it DLC though...it may not be out in Canada yet, not sure on that, everywere I look hAs a dif release date. I can't keep playing this game for 7 minutes at a time though

Edit: LOL apparently I already dl that app though I don't remember doing it. Drunken iphonaments ftw
