Skate 2 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

As an old time Tony Hawk fan I was curious about the skate games since they came out. I finally rented this one and was severely disappointed. The over complicated controls made me frustrated and the game unplayable. The rest of the game seemed good from what little I was able to do. The mission structure was well defined and graphics were acceptable at worst. There are trophies to track your accomplishments and feature that rewards you for impressive bails. If you have 3 extra fingers on each hand or find some other way to get around the control scheme this could be a good game.

Man, I really tried to like this game, but the controls are so annoying. I read somewhere how this was a better game then T Hawk and the controls were better. Maybe I am just to used to T Hawk, but this game has way more buttons and controls. Pulling off cool tricks is almost impossible. And they are not forgiving whatsoever. I don't know how anyone could even play this game ebough to get good at it. I wanted to throw my controller at the TV. No thanks.
