A great addition to the skateboarding game genre!
First off, starting the game up, you get to customise your character. This customisation is very extensive and you can completely change the look of your character. Also, there is a very large selection of clothes and accessories to choose from.
Having played the original Skate, I was familiar with the controls, but new players will find the control system takes some getting used to (especially if coming from Tony Hawks games). However, the controls aren't that difficult and you will be doing varial kickflip 360 backflips in no time!
The story in this game is very fun and you can mix it up by completing some of the pro challenges along the way.
All in all, Skate 2 offers a great, enjoyable experience for hardcore skating gamers and everyday gamers alike and once the story is complete you can still skate around anywhere you want.
