The editors didn't like

  • The camera becomes your worst enemy while walking feels unnatural.
  • Minor design issues cut into the fun. Level designs need work.
  • Off-board controls are sketchy
  • Moving objects around the world isnt that polished
  • Intimidating controls.
  • Onfoot movement is clumsy at best
  • Pedestrians get in the way and leave litter
  • AI of other skaters is questionable.

  • The first Skate was a refreshing take on virtual skateboarding, so expectations were high for this one. Maybe they were a little too high: Skate 2 doesn’t quite deliver the revolutionary skating experience that we were all hoping it would be. It&rsq...

  • Creating and skating spots is worth the cover-price alone. Looks incredible and has great depth if you want it.
  • The walking/running is not animated well (that’s the politest way I could describe it). Hard to generate enough speed for some tricks.

  • Abstract:  The original Skate came out in 2007 and changed the way a lot of players looked at skating games. It offered a more realistic approach to what was, by comparison, an arcade time-waster filled with cheap thrills and spills. The Tony Hawk series was kno...

  • TrickStick works well, varied challenges, fitting track list
  • Awkward off-board controls, stupid AI, lack of a story.

  • You can now get off your board!, Organise any objects to form your perfect playground, Upload and share your creations online
  • Stupid default camera, but you can alter it, Walking and running feels clunky, Harder than a roasted tortoise shell
  • Youll be crying into your Pepsi Max like a baby every five minutes, but its strangely worth it.

  • Skate 2 edges closer to Tony Hawk's tomfoolery than the original, but thankfully never crosses the line. With a more interesting environment and some enjoyable new features, it takes Skate's place as the best skateboarding game around....
