CVG Reviews Skate

Skate is a nightmare to review, but a joy to play. However gushing the description, you can't explain the feeling - the physical sensation of relief, exhilaration and pride - of nailing a perfect trick on your anguished 37th go. In Hawk games, you 'divine' complex moves into life via a rapid-fire test of memory and reactions, in Skate you caress your moves with direct analogue fluidity and grace. Put simply - it feels like skateboarding.

I've got this pre-ordered from the US (avoid overpricing in the UK lol) and played the demo which is great, can't wait!

It's truly amazing. It feels so much more rewarding when you land big tricks in Skate than in Tony Hawk.

Played the demo on both systems and they both were awesome and played it a bunch. Bought the game yesterday for the Playstation along with Halo 3 but it goes without saying that I didn't get around to playing the full game yet ^.-

chester6073d ago

it will take some people a little while to get into it, and there's a pretty steep learning curve, but it is a fantastic game and will most likely make you never feel the need to go back to tony hawk again. just an awesome, awesome game.

oh dear god, please let it be good.

These guys are pretty cringe. Also the look of the new skate looks boring compared to games like Skater XL and Sessions. I'm not a fan of the arcade skate Sims

Can you please share us an image depicting the issue?

boing1667d ago

I kind of like the idea of free, social skateboarding game in an open world.

sourOG667d ago

Lmao of course… that blows

Inverno667d ago

I mean it could work. They could easily sell branded cosmetics which could pull in quite a bit of money if done right, but I can't say I'm not a bit disappointed. I'll try it cause I really like the series, but it'll suck if this fails cause I really like the series lol

Kornholic667d ago

"If done right" lmao. The only way to do that right is to make them unlockable via in game progression.

Inverno666d ago

If done right they can do it like how Minecraft has done it for years and people don't have an issue with how MC does it. I wanna hate on EA just as much as the next guy, but I'll wait until after they ruin Skate to have a negative opinion on it.
