DESCRIPTION
EA's plan to challenge Activision's reigning Tony Hawk series for skateboarding supremacy proved to be a critical and commercial success, and the once original IP Skate officially becomes a franchise with the release of Skate 2. Players return to the mythical city of San Vanelona after a five-year hiatus, only to find security forces from the Mongo Corporation heavily patrolling a landscape drastically altered by earthquakes. Gamers must help restore the city's reputation as a skating Mecca by shredding around town and meeting up with 25 different professional skaters, including longtime vets Danny Way and Eric Koston.
The game once again makes use of a control scheme that relies heavily on the shoulder buttons and analog sticks, and Skate 2 doubles the total number of tricks available in its predecessor. There are more than 20 different areas through which gamers can ollie, rail slide, and kickflip, and the new option to roam freely on foot and manipulate more than 100 different objects means players can put together an infinite number of unique skating lines. The "skate.Reel" replay feature returns, once again letting gamers relive all of their best tricks, and a new graphics creator means skaters can outfit their gears and decks with original designs. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“I think im pushing it by giving it a three, this game is poor, un-fun, and probably the only game i can say i wasted time with. i disliked this game, alot. Bad physics, you would be stopped by even the smallist thing, tricks were poorly done, the only fun thing to do was hurt yourself over, and over, and over...oh wait....that was basically all you did.”

“You cant get much more fun than having over your friends and attempting to break every bone in your skaters body by throwing him of the top of a smokestack. A lot better than the Tony Hawk series.”
