NostalgiaLots of memories playing this outstanding title. It blew me away by being way ahead of its time. A truly realistic and representative skating sim experience that gives hardcore skate fans and novices alike to see the appeal. Great graphics, awesome core gameplay, a game I can never put down years later.

Its AWSOME DUDE!!!!!!!!This game rocks. But I wish it had blood like Tony Hawk. I play with my friends. Another thing is that you can't do 2 player on freestyle. So, we have to play hall of meat of S.K.A.T.E. Any way, its cool how you can do alot of tricks to do either on the ground or in the air. I would totally recommend this to a friend. Get this game for sure.

Decent, But Could Use Some WorkOriginally when I bought this game, I was worried about the control scheme being analog only, and at first, I hated this game. After working with it for a day or two, I warmed up to it and it turned out to be a decent title. A few things that could be worked on are: controls, if it had a normal "Tony Hawk" style control, it might get a higher rating in my book, and a better storyline, because it was very stale and hard to follow. In total i'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.

One of the top 5 games EVER, in my opinion!Amazing, it cant get any better than this! It may have a few glitches and graphic problems but a great game! You get to use the new flickit system which makes it easier to control. Another good thing is the crashes, you can jump off of the parkade 4 stories up, its hilarious! The best part, they screwed tony hawk! Finally, a game without him! Thank you EA:D
