Sick Game!
This game is awesome
I owned the original Skate and this is by far an improvement to such a great game.
The only complaint I have with this game is that it gets very, VERY frustrating when you get stuck on certain career challenges. But persistance allows you to exceed...
Many a times I got too frustrated to continue and had to take short breaks haha.

On the plus side, the new skate.reel provides and incredible community and adds endless possibilities to the gameplay.
It is the online community that will keep me hooked on this game for a long time, I only got this game 2 days ago and already i have more than 10 videos uploaded! I even have friends who own skate 2 on their xbox and i can watch their videos too.

I highly recommend

Great game
Hey, I'm realy injoyed this game, it's better than the 1st one.
If you love skateing you should buy this one.
grafics are great en the sounds are realy good en the controls are good, but you have to learn 1st the couple of hours.
Realy this game is the best skate game.

Great improvement on orginal
This game is brilliant, great gameplay and the new grabs and finger flips are awesome. Find this one a bit harder than Skate. This game is the greatest skate game ever.
The new Tony Hawks has got to pull out something special.
Only thing i don't like about it is there is no Bam Margera, but that's just me probs.
