Anyone agree?  It's basically a better version of Tony Hawk games with more style.  Anyone play it?

no, lol.  Way too obvious a pick and not the same.  I'm talking about the hugely popular tony hawk type ones with challenges, etc.  Jet Set Radio is obvious.
And by skating, I mean skating, skateboarding, etc.  --> the challenge extreme sports ones, not skaitng itself

Great vid lol, and for it's time it might of been.  But skate1 & 2 have completely surpassed my expectations of a skating game.  Hopefully they'll try the flicstick idea with inline, though I'm not exactly sure how well it would work.

Aggressive Inline! Yes! I love that game and still play it from time to time. It's too bad Z-Axis went out of business.

Way too obvious? You are on roller skates. And its a fucking amazing game, that makes it imo the best SKATING game.

The best in any genre is hard to categorise, because if there are better games you can often say "THEY DONT COUNT," meaning this thread is kinda confusing.

Jet Set just doesn't fit in with these types of games.  Agressive Inline/Tony Hawk aren't comparable to Jet Set in any way at all.

I put in over 200 hours to the original Skate and just didn't find Skate 2 anywhere near as enjoyable.

I really liked Aggressive Inline, even though it seems barely anybody had even heard of it.
For my money, it's this, THPS 3, or even that Shaba Games skateboarding game back on PS1.  What was that called?

I think the first Tony Hawk was the best.  Also Smug, why do you always post in the General Discussion thread?

I have yet to play Skate 2, but my answer is usually Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. It is amazing, admit it.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is still the best, no other skating game comes even close to its perfection.

I would say Skate 2, I loooooove that game. 
Or Matt Hoffmans pro BMX if that counts.  That game took much of my mid teens from me.

Skate is where the genre is now, but back when it was in that Tony Hawk style Aggressive Inline was a great game.

Haha, no don't think so.

Skate 2 is probably the best skating game around.

Though THPS and THPS2 were amazing for their time and in their day.

I've always loathed and despised skating games, Actually all sport games except maybe Tennis because they have Maria Sharapova in it.

Skate was the best Skating game ever followed by THPS2. Skate 2 was kind of crap but the original was the best. I don't see a roller blade game being much fun though, skateboarding is so much more fun.

I'm yet to play either of the Skate games but Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is the best skateboarding game I've played. It had a good mix of skating and ridiculousness.

Aggressive Inline was alright. It stood out about as much as Grind Session or Evolution Skateboarding.

The best skating game, in my opinion, goes to Thrasher: Skate and Destroy which was Skate before Skate even existed (and then some).
