DESCRIPTION

Sessions of Skate take place in a fictitious world called San Vanelona and are designed to offer gamers a realistic skateboarding experience. Players pick from a roster of characters that include Danny Way and PJ Ladd, and then explore the city while using the triggers and analog sticks to perform a wide variety of tricks and jumps. The goal is to become a famous skater, unlock hidden skating areas, and anger the security guards in the "no skate" zones. Gamers must draw from their real-life skills as a way to improve their avatar instead of upgrading a character through missions to increase their abilities. Rather than placing ramps around the environment, EA invites gamers to explore the ledges, dropins, funboxes, and rails around the urban landscape. Because the game is intended to challenge players, a full replay mode allows gamers to view that sweet backside bigspin they finally landed. While reviewing their moves players can adjust the speed and camera angles and then save them for others to download. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

“More realistic skateboarding because of the new control. Better than any Tony Hawks. ”

“Control revolution! It makes more realistic skateboarding more satisfying than Tony Hawks ever was. Controls are all analogue sticks really which is better although it takes a while to get used to.”

“A great game with innovative controls. Excellent, especially given how stale the Tony Hawk series has become.”

“I don't actually own this, it was lent to me by a friend. He thought I would like it because I have a couple Tony Hawk games. While it is more realistic, in terms of what is possible to do in the game, the controls are a bit convoluted.”

Skate (X360) by: WalterMondale

“An enjoyable game all-around. A nice change of pace from the Tony Hawk series of skateboarding games. It comes off as realistic at first, but becomes increasingly over the top but maintains some semblance of reality, particularly due to the city.”
