Skate Review

Posted on October 19th, 2007 at 06:23 EDT
Skate is the best skateboarding game to date providing realistic simulation type gameplay.
Pros
  • + Revolutionary controls that work perfectly into gameplay
  • + Lifelike physics to portray a more realistic skate boarding experience
  • + Great art directions and stylized graphics
Cons
  • - Soundtrack can become annoying at times
  • - Online lags like crazy
  • - Not quite up to par with Tony Hawk in terms of features
  8.5
Awesome

i love this game but i have uploaded numerous vids to their site which i can only view from the PS3, as soon as i try to access them via the skate.reel website i just keep going around in login circles, even though i have updated my gamertags etc. Come on EA sort it out. its not just skate either its all EA games, as tiger 08 can never connect to the EA servers to get my previously uploaded game face. and when ever im playing any of my EA games (skate, fifa08 or tiger 08) it randomly pops a message saying that i have been disconected and loged out.

Ill tell you why i like this game so much. Being that i skated for so much of my life up untill i just got tired of fracturing multiple bones. Having to use the analog stick in different motions to do tricks gives it a very realistic feeling to me. It reminded me of doing everything all over again. I thought it was a awesome feature.

I thought E.A stated that all their games 4 ps3 would now run @ 60 fps what a load of bollox.They might aswell just make games 4 360 cos no ps3 owner in their right mind should buy their inferior s**t they keep producing 4 the playstation.So E.A i beg u sought it out or f**k off
