After The Fact: Reviews Revisited

Update: Premium DLC
Posted: Feb 2, 2009 5:12 pm PT
The recently released "Filmer Pack" not only adds new replay camera options and new gear to Skate 2, it also lets you upload movies that are up to five minutes (as opposed to just 30 seconds) long. The asking price of 600 Microsoft points isn't crazy, but this stuff seems like it should have been included in the box.

    What a horrible reviewer. Most of his criticisms are useless (e.g. the litter thing) and he missed a lot of more valid criticisms e.g. the dysfunctional and buggy video editor.

    * There is no option to turn off collisions online. Collisions are automatically turned off during freeskate challenges, but are on at any other time.

    * You CAN switch the camera view.

    * Controls for fliptricks are supposed to be difficult to master. Just like in real life. However, as someone who has mastered them, I can confirm they can be. It's not the game's fault, it's your fault if a trick you attempted doing came out wrong. It's just that you haven't developed the skills necessary to see what the fault is.

    buy it, it's an excellent game that is REALLY fun. it's dropped in price and you might even be able to get it used for half off or better.

    No worries Nike, that happened to my friend and he got the game back a week or so later in the mail

    So the day after I bought skate 2 my PS3 decided to take a dump on me with skate 2 still inside it...I really hope the guys at Sony don't steal it when I sent it back in. Otherwise, this game is both insanely frustrating and fun at the same time, a weird feeling.

    Pretty awesome! Just played it today... the whole getting off your board thing was a little whack to me though. Tricks and movements seem a heck of a lot smoother which is awesome. Better than the first skate of course, but not by much.

    It looks fun and they have put in some great things (like giving you money just for falling over?!) i'm going to invest in this

    Loved the first game and am 3/4 through this one. Sad that the DLC was in the first game but they took out for second... It is ultimately one of those games that you either love, or frustrates the living daylights out of you. I enjoy though
