Skate 3 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I'll jump right into this one.

Pros of Skate 3
~ New and improved tricks, including dark slides and under flips.
~ New actions, including drop-ins, attacking pedestrians and being able to clear spaces packed with pedestrians by pushing down on the d-pad.
~ New Career mode, which is all about creating a skateboard brand and creating your own team. As you progress and sell more boards (board sales are what you receive for completing photos, videos, own the spot, etc) you're able to recruit more members for your team. Also, as you progress through the career even further, new create a park locations will open up to you. Which brings me to the next point.
~ The ability to create your own skate park. The possibilities are endless with this feature, and will be downloadable like Skate 2's create-a-spot feature.
~ Rails aren't "magnetic" like they were in the past two games. If you just ollie randomly near a rail, you won't "stick" to it. It makes the game more challenging and more realistic.
~ New physic settings (difficulty) Easy mode, for young children, Normal mode, for the average Skate player, and Hardcore mode for those who like the challenge of realistic skateboarding.
~ A whole new city, Port Carverton, teeming with sick skate lines.

Cons of Skate 3

~Graphics have improved, but only by a bit. No drastic changes in this department.
~The view can still be REALLY inconvenient and annoying. It still rotates and flips and goes up and around and down. If you've played Skate games before, you know what I'm talking about...
~ This may just be a personal thing that other people don't find annoying, but I find it funny how you can manual for 5,000 feet and your character will never "balance" himself on the board. He just cruises and cruises.
~Two players are now only supported online. There is no party-play.

I'd recommend anyone who is interested in buying this game to rent it first and give it a few days of play before you jump into purchasing it.
