Skate 2 Impressions

I don't understand how this game is not a sim. I've played TH and those games bleed arcade. It's not like that at all.

Can someone tell me how this game is not a sim

i tihnk you can do some pretty wild stuff for tons of points that arent possible in real life...

BUT you can play this game as a simulation of real skateboarding because the foundation is based in reality...

In Tony hawk the speeds and heights you got off jumps and ramps was just so out of control you could try to play it as a simulation but it was just an excersise in frustration.

I'd say the best way to learn sim skateboarding is to watch a skate vid...youtube has some great parts from guys like Chris Haslam, Koston, Dyrdek, Chris Cole, and Greg Lutzka.

Give those a watch and you'll see some nice/real tricks...Obviously, its just a game so have fun with it anyway you choose to. I just tend to go for smooth stylee tricks as opposed to the more unrealistic tricks.

What I enjoy the most about this series is the fact that I can skate "sim" with ease. I don't have to worry that im going to get stuck on a house and grind it.

It's funny that something as simpe as doing a kickflip down a flight of stairs then riding 15ft and grinding the hand rail down the next set can be so satisfing.

Nah, just a little more functionality is all. I'm not looking for Assassin's Creed type of animations and ability... But goodness, at least let me run up some of the steeper inclines in the skate parks for cryin' out loud.

And it's not a knock on the game really... It just sticks out because it's so ugly compared to the rest.

Just some basics. Like what game modes are in the online play? I'm picking this up tonight and I'm at work so any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone with the game answer this question?

I never had Skate, but I played it at a friend's house and thought it was pretty fun. I had a lot of trouble with it though, and I couldn't really do any cool tricks. I downloaded the Skate 2 demo and thought it was awesome. Now I'm considering purchasing this, but not sure if I'm really gonna be that good at it.
