“Mommy’s all right. Daddy’s all right. They just seem a little weird.” Every time I hear it, the song brings me back to the two or three glorious weeks playing skate on my 360. By far on of the best sports titles of 2007, skate was everything I didn’t expect it to be – fun.
From the free roaming sandbox-style play to the mini-games, this game is near perfect in my opinion. The only thing that holds is back is the controls. Some of the challenges and missions demand specific tricks that can be difficult to duplicate and perfect. This adds to the game’s difficulty. That being said, the environments are superbly designed, and skating around San Vanelona while ignoring the single player “campaign” is a blast. 4.5 out of 5 stars, easy. Improving the controls for skate 2 is a must.
