Well this new skating game by EA is coming out this September, but the demo is out now on the market place. It's 1.09gb of awesomeness, and will easily give the Tony Hawk games a run for their money ;) KJ and I played it for 4+ hours straight and it never got old even on the same map :p This is 10x's better than any Tony Hawk game, and the main reason is because it's not some cheap arcade skating game with unreal tricks and stuff. You don't press A to ollie or X to do a flip trick. You control how your board moves with the right analog stick. To ollie back then forward, and to kickflip back then up to the right. Also, unlike crappy TH you don't have to "unlock" tricks or "buy" them, in SKATE all you have to do is be creative and try new things. Everyone can do every trick right from the start, but you have to learn them. They teach you the basics ~ollie-kickflip-heelflip-pop shuvit~ but with some creativity you can learn all of the others. KJ and I have already found out how to 360 flip, 360 shuvit, Laser Flip, Hardflip, and many others cuz it's just as much fun learning the tricks as it is to use them in game. And in SKATE you can't get 40+ ft. of air out of a ramp, because this is as realistic as it gets for skating games. I would suggest everyone here who has played TH and liked it, to try this and you will love it. Same goes for everyone who hated TH, because it is 10x's better and will get you hooked! It also has online multiplayer (full version not the damn demo...) where you can play compete against others, or just do some free skate and chill. KJ and I are both already getting money together to buy it, even with H3 coming out :p So if you do download this game and you see me on (I will be on all night tonight) send me a message or voice chat and we can have some fun on this kick ass game!



*damn this was a long post :p*

I really really want this game.
As a skater, this seems cool because it's so much more realistic than the Tony Hawk games. I'll definitely be playing this instead of H3.

If any of you follow MLG at all, you know who Cloud is.
He threw away my trucks and wheels a few months ago. So I haven't been able to skate lately. I have three decks in my room, but no wheels or trucks to skate.

Sooooo, this game will be as close as it gets for me, until I get that chance to steal my friends board. Which is at my girlfriends house right now.

I played the demo, seen you playing it too rehab. The controls are pretty creative, I never got into sports games at all though.

hey rhaps, is it ok to cuss as long as its saying something is awesome?

EX: Skate. Is so ****ING AWESOME!

I too skate. lol which concludes to me buying this game, cuz i seen the preveiws and it looks so badass

well i dont skate cause personaly i think i car is 20 times better
so this game just like all tony hawk games will be bad to me
so when H3 and this game comes out i will still be playing H2 and RSV

Lol well this game is the greatest game ever. Never got old even after 9+ hours. And I hold records for most bones broken!
