Want to see Skate 2's debut trailer? Are you ready to learn a ton more about the most realistic skateboarding video game ever created? If so, you're in luck, as the game has finally been revealed to the public.

First off, the new details. As you already know, you'll be able to dismount from your skateboard in Skate 2. Getting off the board provides a lot of new opportunities. You can, for instance, get off of your board, drag a picnic table into the perfect spot and session it.

Additionally, a "Grab the World" mechanic has been implemented as a simple yet versatile control. Using this button allows you to perform such tricks as inverts. Some other news tricks include finger-flips, no complies, bonelesses, hippie-jumps and the like.

    It seems like EA is starting make more quality games again. With competitors like Ubisoft and Activision making solid games, I think EA is trying to make a comeback!

    i perswonally hate 90% of EA's games but the 10% would have to be SKATE 1 & 2 and a few others but i admit out of all the failed awswome ideas that EA has come up with.. they have spoiled us with this one and gave themselves a fairly decent name (i still hate them,but some of their ideas are allright)

    Loved the first one and this one looks even better, though playback value want great.....hopefully this will have more features and an even longer story mode!!!
    it would be cool if in your rucksack you had drinks and stuff and you had to eat food and the right food and drink you eat makes your tricks better
