Review: Skate 2 requires an investment, but pays off in the end

By Ben Kuchera (arstechnica.com)

Skate 2 brings its own sense of style, and crushing difficulty, to the world of Skate games. An improvement over the first game with more tricks, a city stocked with vicious law enforcement, and of course "buttery" tricks, Skate 2 is worth the ...

Still, it's hard to find fault with the game if you're willing to put in the time to get good. There is plenty to do, the city is huge, and if you master everything there is to see and do you'll certainly have gotten your $60 worth. The ability to ...

Skate 2 - PS3

By Chris Pickering (pocket-lint.com)

Does this slap down Tony Hawk?

Intuitive control method, huge game world, real sense of accomplishment

Very tricky to get to grips with, aesthetics not the best

It might not offer much over the original Skate, but this one easily claims the crown as best alternative sports title

"One of the best reasons to buy a XBOX 360"

By az_skater360 (cnet.com)

If you're a skateboarder you need to stop bro... 

Feels like you're actually skateboarding, Great Controls, Large Environment, New Thrasher System for Bails, New Replay Editor with a ton of new features, Good Voice acting, Great new spots for spot challenges.

Environment in certain areas feels too similar to the original Skate game, tough learning curve, some challenges get frustrating, I can't beat people/security guards with my skateboard when they attack me, may be too realistic for non-skateboarders.

Really awsome game!!

By andyman256706 (bestbuy.com)

"I bought the first skate when it came out and I really liked it. I bought skate 2 he first day it came out. I'm impressed. The map is a lot easier now that you can transport really anywherwe you want. It doesnt show the streets, but thats not a big deal...

Graphics, customization, bailing controls, different overall setup then the first skate

A little confusing, but after a little while you can understand
