    Breath of fresh air

    I wasn't realy sure if i new if skate was ganna be a good game. I first saw gameplay for it online and i felt it looked to much like a sim and was going to be a tony hawk rip-off. I also thought that it would be to simy but I can tell you i was sadly mistaken....

    The presintation... From the first opening seen in skate i could tell that i was going to be in for a ride the rest of the story flows like your typical rise up from the tops but after the tutorial you fell like in your in a real city...

    The graphics in skate are realy nice the hole city has realy great designs in the older looking stone part of the town called Old town just looks beautiful and reminds me of my town in a way, and even down town has just a great look to it and is just beautiful to look at.The character models are prety good but when your character himself bails of his board its rather funny and laugh able....

    The sound all the voice acting is good and i love the sound track in the game its your tipcal type of skate game sound track wich always has those songs that you here for the first time and love.

    The gameplay.Its self differs from the tony hawk series it uses the analog stick its self .you flip the stick and it will do a tric but the game is missing some tricks wich is said but you won't realy mind yourslef. some anoying thisngs tho is that the game has the view of some guy filming you and it can be just anoying to try to land a freaking ral.the stroy mode itself is kinda like tony hawk you will have to score a certain amount of points in certen time wich is kinda anoying youll skate in some events get sponser and it jsut like tony hawk but its so much more fun and feels new. some things i realy loved about trying to land something was in old town i was grinding a rail and i landed in the road and just got smacked buy a car wich is just great and the parts of town themslef were just realy fun to skate in...
    the downside tho is the character creation models i wish were just a little better ...

    The multiplyaer is fun you can play skate or you can free skate. race your friends and other things its fun but you will be playing single player alot and its nothing realy you need to check out ...The skate real wich is this things were you can make your own videos in carrier and upload them for your friends to watch

    value skate is a fun game and should be checked out buy all skate board fans and especialy if your tierd of the tony hawk games...

    The presentation 9.0
    The sound 9.0
    The graphics 8.5
    gameplay 9.2
    value 8.7
    over all a 9.2

      One of the Best Skating Games Out There 0

      Skate(PlayStation 3) by theartofbalance1 on April 06, 2009

      Let me start off first by saying, I love skateboarding and I've always loved the videogames that are associated with it. I've played Tony Hawk for years now and once I picked up the game, Skate, I was deeply surprised. Skate completely changes the mechanics of skateboard games that I once knew. The right stick controls your board and the left stick controls your character. By flicking the right stick in various ways, you can pull off ollies, kickflips, nollies, and a large amount of other trick...

      Skate(PlayStation 3) by jimbo_n on August 20, 2008

      First off. I´m not very into skating. I occasionally put on the Extreme Sports channel to enjoy some tricks, I can name most of the tricks you can do on a board, I listen to some punkrock and skatepunk and I find some of the clothing connected with the skateculture kinda nice and consider it stuff I could wear on an everyday basis. But thats about it. I have never tried to learn riding a skateboard and I find the Tony Hawk games to be some of the most frustrating games you can play on any platfo...
