Not as good as the first skate but still way better than any Tony hawk made after 2001. Physics do kind of suck though!!!

the first one was fun, but got pretty boring really fast. i don't think I would bother with a sequel. EA already gets me on some of the sports games.

i don't know... i still like to just do free skating in the first one for fun to get my skateboarding fix when i can't physically go out and do it... i think it's inevitable that Ill end up getting the second one.... was hoping to hear some more positive things about it though... tell me something good dammit!

You caused me to quit my job, move out of the haunted basement and eventually sell my xbox.

ALL BY PLAYING THIS DUMB GAME.

I tried the demo the other day. It seemed a little easier than the first. Overall I think the main downside to the game is that it's not as genre redefining as the first. The first one didn't have to do as much to blow people away especially since it came from EA which at the time was looked at as a pretty half ass company when it came to putting out their titles.

from the reviews i've read of skate it, you have about a 10% chance of doing the trick you intended to. is that the case?
