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.

Customer Reviews

Overhyped and out of control
The control system for this game makes absolutely no sense. Half the time it doesn't perform the 'flickit' tricks anyway. After a couple of the most infuriating hours of my life trying to get to grips with this control system I have given up.

I'm sure some of the other features are great but i'm not going to get to use these because the control system is unfathomable and infuriating. I won't even trade this in as some poor other person who has heard the ridiculous hype might waste money on it!

I would recommend spending the time you would have to invest actually learning to skateboard!

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
