Pros: graphics, realism, online
Cons: none

"This is the best skate game ever. I bought it for the ps3 a month ago. It is so worth the money. The graphics are incredible and its very realistic. The flickit controls might be confusing at first, but once you figure it out, it just adds to the realism. The onlineline is great. You can upload your own footage to the web and view others. It is so much better than tony hawk."

Get it!! 08/24/2008
By LWalk from Colorado

Pros: Pure Entertainment
Cons: to be determined.....

"I originally Bought Tony Hawk Proving Ground, until I got home and read the reviews...I ran back to the store and exchanged it for Skate. I couldn't be happier. After 5 min of playing, my friend and I couldn't stop laughing at the different crashes we had. It DOES have a free Skate option unlike Tony Hawk. This game is perfect..especiallly at the $39 price...get it!!"

A MUST buy for ps3 08/06/2008
By Drumk1ng from Chicago, IL

Pros: Flick-It controls--Whole game
Cons: Online gets laggy (rarley)

"If you've ever played any of the tony hawk games from the past. You know how it felt to be a big time skate boarder. But in this game you have all new thoughts about that! This game brings a whole new way to play with its one of a kind flick-it controls. Its probably the best way to do tricks instead of pushing random buttons to do tricks. this game has a fantastic story line. You start out as some punk kid trying to go pro like any game. But along the way you get sponser for your board,trunks,shoes,and wheels. You do gnarly shots for skate board mags, and become one of the best skaters of all time. The game has a huge map and great locations like the X-Games and downtown (just to name a few). The online play is real fun. There is something for everyone from rookies which can use freeskate and unranked matches, all the way to the pros with ranked matches. There are about 7 events. S.K.A.T.E, Best trick, and all the way to Death races. If you dont have this game yet, I must insist that you go out and buy this game now! Its will a game that you love and replay for a long time.

Better Than Tony Hawk 07/05/2008
By Roderdod from RSm,Ca

Pros: super fun controls
Cons: a lot of tricks have been left out

"Skate is the best skateboarding game ever. it destroys tony hawk because its very realistic. You cant pull of a quad kickflip with no air like in tony. The controls are sweet and they make every grind and flip exciting because its not just pushing one button. Theres a lot of customization. My only complaint would be that a lot of tricks have been left out. A lot of grabs and flips are not included. Still a sweet game that i would play over and over again."

best skate game of all time 04/17/2008
By thatduuude from LA,california

"ea's (skate) is the best skateboarding game of all time.
the new "flick-it" control is amazing,its kinda weird at first but just practice for like 30 minutes and you improve. its not like TH where everything is so easy and there is no skill at all. "skate" challenges the player with a gameplay that test the players skill. tricks are clean, grinds are smooth. story mode is pretty cool actually. but remember, the sponser you choose will be your sponser for the entire story mode.graphics are really good, sound is amazing, and the gameplay is stunning. you could be cruising around for hours finding hundreds of spots that you can just own.
-gameplay=4.5
-graphics=4.2
-sound=5
-online=3.8
-overall=4.5"

Hands down best skate game to date 03/27/2008
By AZAERO from AZ

Pros: This game is extremely realistic, fun, and large.
Cons: Cant get off of the board and walk around spots

"This game is a tremendous improvement from the tony hawk series. No disprespect they started it off but this game is much better in my opinion. I have skated for 4 years and this game made a great simulation if you want to play it that way but it also gives you the option to get crazy if you want to thats what I like. You can control everything. Definetely buy this game if you like skateboarding at all."

AWESOME!! 03/10/2008
By kr12 from Boca Raton, FL

Pros: everything
Cons: n/a

"I love the game! I'm not really a fan of skate boarding games or any sports game, but this one is an exception. The graphics are awesome, and it's so much fun! You can't stop playing, it's addictive. I'm not a skater, but this game makes you feel like one. I was a little disappointed with PS3 'cause they only had shooting games and boring sports games, being a GIRL I'm not into those types of games, but this one and Rock Band are the best!!!"

Best Skate Game Ever!!!!!!! 01/07/2008
By Rockstar0001 from Cogan Station,Pa

Pros: Freedom to do anything
Cons: Hard to do the Tricks

"This game is way better than the tony hawk games. After THPS underground 2, the games started to suck.This game may have hard tricks but you will get use to them. The best thing is you have more freedom than the tony hawk games. I recommend this game to everyone that loves skateboarding games. It is well worth the money."

best game ever 01/06/2008
By punkstar25 from Phoenix,az

Pros: Never gets boring, realistic, graphics
Cons: curbs, charachter selection

"Start to finish this is the best skateboarding game ever. The only comparison's that the tony hawk series has a one up on is you can pick your board up and the professional skater selection is better. Other than that it makes tony hawk look like skate or die for nintendo back in the day. This is by far the best game that came out in 2007. 2 thumbs up"

the tony hawk era is over 12/30/2007
By mac04

Pros: graphics,controls,video editing,huge interactive levels
Cons: camera angles difficult sometimes on setting up a trick

"Great new skateboard game. It can be difficult getting used to the controls especially if you've been into the Tony Hawk series for the last decade. But the options of board contol and manuverability make up for the hour or two it will take to overcome it. If your into skateboarding you will be amazed at the similarity to real life. Manuals aren't just forward-backward-balance. You have to find the "sweet spot" in between riding four wheels and leaning far back. The point system is nothing like Tony Hawk games. No more 2 million combo runs. Common lines are a few thousand. Video editing is just another perk in the game. Peice together skate photage and many different camera angles with many filters to make completely unique videos to share and store. Start from the bottom with playing S.K.A.T.E with locals to being a full sponsored skateboarder in this next generation real life skateboard game. Skateboard through the winter, purchase SKATE."

Awsome game 12/29/2007
By CFinch

Pros: Great feel, awesome graphics, huge world to explore
Cons: camera angle (somtimes) and no looking around to view surrounding areas.

"This game is def.. one of my favorites. There is a huge world to explore. It kinduv reminds me of Grand Theft Auto of skate boarding... It's awsome.. the new controls are awsome..
Somtimes the camera angle is kinduv annoying because you can't (directly see the rail comming up ahead). I wish that there was a way to look around to look at some of the area your in.. It would be help.. there maybe a way to do it. I don't know..
I guess the freedom you have in this game is what I like so much!!! I prefer the feel of this game over tony hawk any day lol!"

AMAZING 12/13/2007
By UCbearcats from Cincinnati, OH

Pros: Amazing Graphics, Huge Maps, Lots of Skaters, Very Amuzing

A lot better than the Tony Hawk seris. only bad thing is that you can't get off your board and walk around, and the storymode challenges can be tough at times."

Blows Tony Hawk away!!! 11/29/2007
By TexasRaised

Pros: Awesome graphics
Cons: None

"If you like a button pusher game, this game isn't for you. Setup every part of your trick starting with the jump to your landing with the analog sticks. I think this may be the most realistic skate board game out there. A lot of diffrent challenges keep you hooked for hours trying to get sponsors to sign you. Great game to have..."

GREAT! 10/11/2007
By Butka from Detroit Area

Pros: New game play. No More Button Mashing!
Cons: Nothing Yet

"So it is a great game, no button mashing or anything. the tricks are no longer just a button, you have to work on getting a trick. the gameplay is great, its like watching a skate movie. there is vinetting in the corners to make it look like a wide angle or a fisheye lens like it is through the eye of a camera. AND you can edit clips and make your own videos. This is a great game. Plus it supports 1080"
