The Real Skate
Ahh but once you get use to it the controls are your feet!
Skate tries to give you the real feel of skate boarding, and it does a pretty good job.
You wont see ten thousand metre grinds and five hundred foot airs that the tony hawk series gave you, it will slip off a rail when tring to hold a grind on for to long or full flip you out if you are trying to launch yourself into the sky.
Many other skate game start out tring to give the real impression of actual skate boarding but then usally get a bit unreal somewhere along the line.
Skate seems to keep a hold a the real skater story rather than the Wow did you see what i just done on that rail.
Two thumbs up in my book to EA for this release... good stuff.
Mostly I play game to get unreal, as do most other gamers, but being an actual skater myself the tony hawk UNREAL series lost its Wow when it got to unreal and way to technical.
I hope that if they bring out a secound edition they keep the same feel to the game without getting to much so called Wow
