Skate (PS3) Reviews

Introduction I love to skate. I love to game. Skate seemed perfect. I had some spare cash and a game or two that needed to be traded in so I picked up Skate. With my wallet empty and some room on my games shelve I but Skate in and hope I wouldn't get bored with my board. Plot You're a nameless skater hoping to get ...  Read the complete review

Now I am like I think most people are a fan of the Tony Hawks skateboarding games but I found that all Tony Hawks games were pretty similar and there was no real variation in gameplay or characters or just in what you had to do to complete the game, so I thought for a change of direction I'd try something new and that was Skate. I must admit ...  Read the complete review

A new skate game is just what this genre of sports games needs, and is a refreshing break from the old Tony Hawk games. I really like the unique and innovative controls that this game offers and honestly it seems to fit the game a lot better than using buttons to ollie and do tricks. The flick-it controls let you use the right analogue stick ...  Read the complete review

Skate, finally an alternative to Tony Hawks Pro Skater. I first tried this game when Sony released the demo for Skate 2 on the PSN. you only get a few minutes of game time in the demo, so I then moved onto trying the now old Skate demo. I really liked it so I bought Skate second hand for £10 (I couldnt justify paying £40 for Skate ...  Read the complete review

When i first heard of skate i was a bit sceptical and thought that Tony hawks would still be the better game. Even though I am a fan of Tony Hawks I downloaded both the demos to compare them and found out that Skate was a much better game. The Flickit control system is very clever and origional and gives the game a much more realistic feel, Unlike ...  Read the complete review

After Tony Hawk had dominated the gaming world for skating games I was very happy when EA brought out Skate to put some pressure on the Tony Hawk series. However, after playing Tony Hawk: Proving Ground, I gave Skate a try. After playing the demo on the Playstation Store, I took a chance and brought the game. It is very enjoyable and I prefer ...  Read the complete review

As a fan of the skateboard industry i was very anxious for the release of this game. Having played the demo for the Xbox 360, i soon got used to the gameplay which i found to be absolutely spot on in terms of realism, and, although it was yet to be completely finished, i was very impressed by the quality of the graphics and physics of the game. ...  Read the complete review

I was a bit dubious about playing this game as I have to confess to being a bit of a Tony Hawk Fan! I wasn't dissapointed though and have had endless hours of play out of this game! There is quite a long learning curve with this game where you have to start from scratch and master all the basics like the ollie. Some of the tricks are ...  Read the complete review

If you are expecting a new take on the Tony Hawk's series then think again, Skate takes skateboarding games to a new high and knocks Tony right off the leaderboard. First up we have an entirely new control system, the old push the button to ollie is out and it's in with analogue stick controls that allow the user to control the body, hands ...  Read the complete review

This game is an original addiction to its genre in terms of graphics and controls. Many gamers in previous games such as Tony Hawk's series were able to pull of ridiculous tricks with very little effort. At least in this game, there is a learning curve that is satisfying and challenging at the same time and still able to maintain fun and realism. ...  Read the complete review

What can I say, I am once again reviewing a medium-not so good game. I remember when I got my PlayStation1 for christmas, and opening to find Final Fantasy 7, A JamPack disk, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. Ah yes, THPS2. The next great skating game did not come untill Tony Hawk Underground, which I still tip my (non-exsistant) ...  Read the complete review
