The Tale Continues
Skate 2 is set five years after the events in Skate It, where many earthquakes had devastated the city leaving it in ruins. Instead of the skaters’ paradise that the city used to be, the new city dubbed New San Vanelona, has stepped-up security, thanks to Mongo Co., in order to protect the best parts of the city. This is the setting for you to rebuild your skate career and revive the city’s skate scene.
Whereas you started the last game by learning the basics of skating, with Skate 2 you’ll be immediately challenged by find a couple huge ramps. You start out at Slappy’s, and while there are some tutorials, veterans will be able to blaze owing to them in about a minute. New players, on the other hand, will find Slappy’s park to be inviting and easily accessible, and can get a taste of what’s in store for them before taking on the entirety of San Vanelona. And once out there, you’ll find that people you run into remember you and what you did five years ago, and are excited to see you back in action.
Exciting New Features and Capabilities
While the controls will be instantly familiar to fans of the previous game, there are loads of new tricks to go. Skaters can now do footplants, crail slides and fingerflips. Or show off with a lip trick, an Ollie North, and the long-sought ability to Skitch (grabbing the bumper of a moving car) to gain alacrity.
New to Skate 2 is the ability to get off your penetrate and walk around. While on foot, players can go certain objects in the world, making their own shape with nearly 100 different objects. Changes to the environment, huge or small, will stay place in the game regardless of how long you play. Should you choose that you no longer like your giant stack of trash bins or some other madness you’ve set up, one touch of a button can return the items to their original position. This means gamers can make their own epic spots and challenges, which can then be uploaded, shared, and experienced by others around the world.
Loads of Splendid Improvements
Skate 2 expands on the original’s well loved Reel editor, allowing gamers to place a follow camera or a fixed tripod camera wherever they want, recording their wicked tricks and brutal crashes. And speaking of crashes, skaters will now experience, and be able to highlight, hurt to their threads. Clothes get dirty and become torn, and players get cuts and bruises depending on their actions. And if you crash huge enough, you’ll see a bail score pop up and increase as you take hurt, culminating in the Thrasher Hall of Meat screen that tells you how well you’ve done crashing, and gives you an x-ray view showing your broken bones.
Skate 2 also features the choice of making either a male or female character, rather than just male, and will offer an in-depth graphics creator. The role of cash increases, allowing players to buy up pieces of property and turn them into a full-fledged skate parks. And there is a splendid new Goofy vs. Regular competition variant, where two teams of three skaters compete in the same park at the same time.
In small, Skate 2 ups the ante in delivering all the grit, creativity and culture of skateboarding, with all-new tricks and capabilities that allow players to truly skate it their way, on and off the penetrate.
The make-a-skater features lets you personalize your player.

I got this game never playing skate. The opening is cool and that’s really it. I suggest you go rent this game and never buy it.

I really do skate in real life, and the thing about this game is that the ea creators got bone idle. They just took ancient san van from the original Skate and place more things in it. And the challenges are too rushed, youll see what im talking about when you get it. But don’t get me incorrect, its worth the cash. The physics are better and theres more tricks and stuff.

I’ve been around the Skate series now since the first game came out. I played both and I also, more than anything, witnessed my companion play it probably more than anyone else have ever played this game. The amount of hours he has logged is disgusting. The only thing bringing him back day after day is the fact its skateboarding, and well he likes skateboarding.
Let me start by saying that Skate and Skate 2 capture skateboarding itself, best of all sports meeting so far. The flick-it controls and tricks are showed well with stylishness. If you look at this game solely for the skateboarding aspect but not anything else that makes a game excellent, you’ll delight in it.
First of all…
1) They kept WAY too many spots from Skate 1 in this game. You grow bored of the spots pretty quick as most of them are just rehashed with some new textures and lighting from the first game.
2) The game seems extremely rushed. BUGS, BUGS, BUGS! I feel like I need a 12pk of RAID. No I don’t mean creepy crawly critters. I mean how the heck did the testers not notice all the stuff that’s broken in this game? Often you’ll find dumpsters flying owing to the air, areas you can’t grind, cement-like water, broken ledges and other things you’re supposed to be able to skate, foot getting stuck in the penetrate, wheels going beneath the surface of the ground, random sounds out of no where, random falling out of the sky or being spun and thrown like something from inside a food processor and you chose to remove the lid. The list can go on, and on, and on, and on, and so on. This is just a few that stuck out immediately. Oh, and the off-penetrate controls, to place it nicely… are terrible. Tanks and trains have better controls.
3) They make the game seem like there is a tale-line, yet character development and the tale-line is done pretty terribly. First, your character apparently doesn’t have the ability to speak or cooperate with other characters in the game what-so-ever. Every time you’re seen in cut-scenes or no matter what, he appears to be a lifeless caveman. Always just staring straight forward with mouth closed. Could they not animate some emotion at least? C’mon, who that skateboards doesn’t hang out with friends and at least have some fun?! The tale-line is pretty pathetic too. The management of the game allows you to pretty much do what you want in no matter what order, but its not structured enough to really have fun with it, nor challenging enough either. Also, which brings me back to the bugs… Sometimes you cannot even complete the tale part of the game, because of the bugs… Missions will either not show up, or the icon won’t disappear of the map after you’ve completed them.
4) Over-all the city seems bland. There is not anything really going on in it. There are a few people walking around here or there, but not anything is going on. It seems overly fake. Cars driving around take right turns from the left lane with no matter what blinker they choose, the models look like they’re from a PS1 game but with reflective windows…and this brings me to another thing to add, is that the AI (artificial intelligence) is laughable at best. Other skaters seem to have no knowledge of your where-abouts. Normal people in the city seem like lifeless drones, something you’d expect out of a game made 15 years ago. As mentioned already, the cars is pathetic, guide only in the most linear manner, take incorrect turns, blinkers are chosen randomly(and not always the way they’re turning), and they seem to have no knowledge that there are people in the street… they run into anything.
Anyway, I could go on. I just hope they make Skate 3 better. Perhaps we have noticed more negatives about this game than many because of just how many hours has been logged onto it. Who knows… but these things are pretty simple to notice. If you’re used to well developed sports meeting, this will stick out like a sore thumb. I still give it props in the actual skateboarding category, where it destroys Tony Hawk, but, isn’t always as fun due to the plethora of negatives this game has to offer.

It’s been one awesome trip in New San Vanelona! I have really loved my time. I have place many hours into this game (currently have 890 of 1000 Gamer Score points). Career mode is really well done. The new tricks add a ton to the experience. And online play is incredible! This is a must buy if you liked the original Skate.

I agree with the other reviews completely. I like this game, but it is exactly the same with some improvements. MOST of the missions are sort of realistic situations but the giant ramps and stuff are a small much. Moving objects is shaky but really really awesome. If you liked SKATE at all, you have to buy this game.
Later.
