If you played Skate 2 then expect the same sick street sessions full of insane flip tricks and gapping 30 stair sets. You also have a fully customizable song playlist with tons of songs, you can choose to skip songs any time you're playing. Gameplay is very fluid and smooth, once you customize your character's truck stiffness and so forth, to get that perfect feel you want.
Controls and gameplay are basically the same as Skate 2, with some minor tweeks which were all good. You still rock the R stick to do all of the flip tricks and ollies with RT and LT for grabs. Something new was the ability to go to options and see why you're missing tricks as it will show you what you're doing wrong with the R analog stick--- that's tight.
I thought the career mode in this game was way better than Skate 2 since there were just cooler parks and courses and more to do. The whole point is to start your own clothing brand, and you add skaters, filmers, and other members of the team as you progress. You do photo shoots and film clips on the street while you attempt to hit the commands on the screen. You try to get magazine covers, and sell as many boards as possible.
Online play in this one is a bit more confusing to get started, but once you figure out the learning curve it's very rewarding. You get cash (boards) even just playing online and doing events. There are more modes, more parks, and more of everything to keep replay value very high here.
Tips - Use the command trick list in the menu since you'll get no manual from gamefly. Use manuals to link tricks. Line up early so you can flip trick onto rails/ledges for more points. Nollie into tricks to get more points versus ollie. Play on Normal. Do all of the tutorials right away, even if you've played Skate 2.
This game met all my expectations, and will keep me away from playing MW2 for awhile, thank God. This game blows away any Tony Hawk sellout game- all about the street!
