  • Abstract:  Players are immediately introduced to all the famous skateboarders presented in Skate 2 in EA’s very fashionable live-action cinematography, where we see our protagonist leaving jail. Then to molding avatars through the character creation, a robust sys...

  • Same great controls; loads of challenges to tackle; an authentic representation of skateboarding culture.
  • Off-board controls are sketchy; moving objects around the world isnt that polished; intimidating controls.
  • Skate was an innovative game in that it did away with the "Jackass" crowd and instead focused on capturing a more realistic approach to the sport, delving deeply into skateboard culture. Now with Skate 2 we get more of the same, which isnt bad by any ...

  • Abstract:  Skate 2 follows the “bigger, better, more” sequel mantra to a T, and the result is a game that is better than the original in most respects. The city is bigger, you have more moves, and there is a bit more spit and polish in the presentation. We aren’t...

  • Abstract:  When Skate was released in 2007, it took a fresh new approach with a control scheme that made tricks feel more realistic and satisfying than in any previous game. Skate 2 refines this system somewhat and, impressively, adds a wealth of new features and...
