Reviews: Skate 2 Review

FIRST COMMENT!!!! I LOVE GB!!!!!!!!!!!

Word!!!

I'm going to say something bold. Great review. I know you didn't see it coming.

Nice, I want to buy this.

Is there a hole in the greenscreen?

Oh lawd, is that some bulldog hoverboard?

Mario Van Peebles? In T-shirt form? Awesome!

Are you guys gonna add a feature that allows you to download videos off the site

Seems like a fun game. Keep up the good work with the reviews!

This game is sooo fustrating but also sooo addictive... Its a love hate relationship..

I am so in love with this game. I skipped on Skate 1 when it came out and picked this one up as soon as it came out. I agree with jeff that the game has its frustrating and infuriating moments but when you finally pull off that challenge, man it is so rewarding!! Great Video Review, wasn't sure you guys would make a video one for Skate 2, glad you did. Keep up the good work guys!!

Holy shit Jeff you got so much better compared to the quick look video.

Kudos.

Really nice review. Well done, Jeff, well done.

Now onto more important matters. Who is this? For some reason I feel like I know them.

More video reviews please.

Nice review Jeff. I might want to play skate this time around - I hate trial and error frustrations, but I might like this anyhow!

At last, nah im just messin. Wow you push a lot in bowls Jeff :p

I was fairly good at Skate, but i must say that i'm even better at Skate 2, i can pull off any trick with no off vaiations (except Nollie 360 inward heel's and Nollie 360 hardflips!) my thumbs got skills now! i got blisters from playing the first game though...

Also i KNEW you guys would make a joke of the board throwing part, to me it always looks like he throws it in the face of th guy with the afro...

And wasn't that old school Brad?

You've improved a lot at skate Jeff.
Good review regardless.

Great review, but here's a little note for the editor(s). You can kinda see a bit of the greenscreen that wasn't keyed out, to the left side (right in the middle of the footage). As Jeff doesn't move into that area, you should just create a matte around Jeff, so that the other stuff doesn't show up. Just a heads up for ya.

I have that jacket !

Great review.  I've been on the fence about this game, but, as usual, you're even handed view on what you're playing makes it clear.  I'm looking forward to more video reviews.

Nice video.  I still think the first Tony Hawk is the best skateboarding game out there.

2:51 - excellent

I love the ending, hilarious.

The guy with the long hair is Brad... when he had long hair.

Yeah Vilhelm and McCheese, looks like the crop settings didn't take across all the clips, just the first one. Bummer. Fixing now...oh render times.

Thanks for the review guys. Good vid.

I have spent some time with this game, and I must say i'm quite impressed. It was this review that convinced me to buy it, though. Great work!

Man, that ending was crazy-funny and unexpected.

Good review - I definitely have to get this game someday.  Someday...

Great video review, Jeff!  I missed the first skate but after playing the demo of skate2 and watching your review i'm completly sold on it.  I think it's the combination of the refined trick system and the online freeskate mode that really sells it!

A video review! Hooray! I'm liking the return of video as content. More please!

Skate 2 is rad!

If I cared even the slightest for skateboarding games, I would pick this up. The "spot" feature, in particular, sounds amazing.

Nice "Ahh! Real Monsters!" sound clip at the end.

Is it just me or does this video seem really low res? I have the GB flashplayer set to hi.... 

Here's the thing that's missing: what score did you give it?

This game DOES get frustrating. Can't seem to nail that Ramp to Footplant to Ramp. Guess I just need to play more like jeff says.

Great Review, im probably picking this one up

GGGGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh

That was a great ending. Jeff, great review and I liked how you balanced the "professional" and humorous aspects of yourself to make a very effective review. Good job.

terrific review, all in all

I give this review 5/5, great job.  As for the game, I think it's amazing.  I love freeskating with friends, doing deathraces, or my favourite, hall of meat, where you see who can crash the hardest.  The game is super. 

Is that a Mario Van Peebles T-shirt???

I was totally thinking the same thing. Sorry to get off track, but I need to know more about this about this Mario Van Peebles t-shirt.

This site is awesome, you guy's just do the best reviews in detailed fashion.

I love this game. Such a great sequel to Skate.

Anyway, thanks for the awesome video review! Really appreciate it!

coolio

Does it bother anyone else how jeff always pushes when he is in a bowl or after he gets off a quarter pipe?  Pushing at that speed doesn't do anything and you don't get any faster, gotta stick to pumping.

"You really gotta watch out!"
