Manufacturer's Description
Skate is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually putting your feet on a board. With innovative controls that take advantage of the dual analog sticks, the power of the next-gen hardware, and the ability to sculpt tricks that define your own style, Skate delivers an authentic boarding mecca like no other videogame.

Individual styles combined with physics-driven animations promise that no two tricks will ever be the same. And there’s plenty of room to pull off those tricks - San Vanelona challenges you to explore, find, and own the best spots. You can even capture footage to create and show off your style with friends across the worldâ€"because without footage, it's fiction.

Get ready for all the fun, creativity and culture of skateboarding without the hours of practice, broken bones, and hospital visits.

Finally a game by skaters for skaters
Don't get me wrong, I've always loved the Tony Hawk's games but they now seem average because I play Skate. As someone who skates, this is the most realistic skating game I've ever played. Tony Hawk's games are fun but their lack of realism means they are not pure skating games. Skate on the other hand is different. It's difficult and you can't always do tricks like 360 flips. The flick it system means you have to get it right to do a trick and the game itself is just completely addictive. This is certainly the best skatebaoarding game ever made and I would call it one of the best games I've ever played. If you skate or ever have done you must own this game.

A new way
A new way of seeing skateboarding games. Forget everything you've learnt from the genre and prepare for skateboarding

Wonderful Game!
I for one, am not into skateboarding, nor have I ever found myself playing any skateboarding games. However, one lazy evening, I decided to download the demo for this game. I was shocked at how much I got into it.
Having such fun playing this demo, I decided to go out a buy it from my local store. How glad I am that I did that. It has given me endless amounts of gameplay, whether it be from the cleverly crafted career mode, or to just roam around on Free-Skate or even (for me personally) lose miserably when playing online.
To perform tricks, there is a system called "Flick-it". It's great. Who'd have thought that you could create so many tricks and combos from one little stick.
The graphics are generally good, apart from the odd graphical glitch or two.
Soundtrack is perfect as it pretty much caters for anyone with it's variation in genres.
Unfortunately I cannot compare this game to the Tony Hawk games as I haven't really taken the time to play it them, however, I can tell you how wonderful this game is to play.
I highly recommend it to skating fans and non-skating fans alike.
