This game is Awesome. Very very fun to play (Once you've figured out the controls). Much like the first Skate but with some more added tricks.

You can now get off you're board and move objects so you can nail a perfect line, jump cars.. Whatever you want to do. Only annoying thing is the walking/running. Its hard to get the skater to walk/run straight without veering off in random directions.

Also some of the challenges in this game are very hard to complete.. Which is a good thing i guess but to me some of them are just too gnarly.

HALL OF MEAT!.. You get awards and Points for breaking bones, doing tricks in the air (Whilst Bailing), Air Time, Rotations. This is very fun.

Overall this game is Excellent. So many good features.

Skate 2. Absolutely the best skating SIM by far. The controls, though not quiet realistic, provide a far better gaming experience than that of the button-bashing Tony Hawk style. The game simulates tricks far better than the previous version, and the trick list has more than doubled to include more street and vert tricks, whilst still keeping the speed skating key. It's a great alternitive if you can't get a lift or it's raining to go to the skate park!

Don't buy this game if you own Skate UNLESS you're a huge Skate fanatic – this game, while a marked improvement, is still fundamentally the same game. The graphics are a bit nicer, the colours pop more, hand plants have been added, and you can move objects.

If you enjoyed Skate, but felt it was missing something, give Skate 2 a try – it could end up being just what you wanted. All in all, a solid game.
