5 out of 5 stars Even Better Than Skate 2. Fantastic Game!   May 13, 2010

8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I have really been enjoying my time with Skate 3. The game improves upon everything I loved from the original Skate and Skate 2. I spent an absolute disgusting amount of hours playing Skate 2 and received all 1500 gamerscore points. To say that I am a veteran of the Skate series may be an understatement. I had a great time in San Vanelona, but amazingly I have been enjoying the new Port Carverton even more. The locales are much more skate friendly. Each of the districts (University, Downtown, and Industrial) offer unique places to skate and have a great time.

Also I love the new online options. The ability to create a team with Xbox Live friends and complete challenges works very well. For fans of freeskate it is back and it is awesome. Having troble completing a career challenge? Jump online and get help completing the challenge with members of skate's dedicated community.

Skate 3 also features an improved soundtrack, skate park editor, and all sorts of great customization to create your ultimate Skate team online or offline. As stated on the official website skate.Create and Share is back and better than ever:

"skate.Create and Share - Returning favorites skate.Reel and skate.Graphics are back. The all-new Skate.Park is an open canvas for players to create their dream plaza or mega-ramp park. Once created, they can share their masterpieces with the world by uploading them directly from their console. "

If you liked the original Skate or Skate 2 you will love Skate 3. Black Box has loaded the title to the brim with amazing content. The game is now more accessible than ever with three difficulty options (Easy, Normal, and Hardcore), although the game may still be a bit difficult even on the Easy setting for newcomers. Thankfully you can practice the basics again and again with the assistance of Coach Frank.

For those new to the series I would recommend that you download the demo from PSN or Xbox Live prior to purchase. You will need to get used to and practice the flick-it controls. It shouldn't take too long before you can start busting some mad tricks.

Oh and did I mention the awesomeness of the Super-Ultra Mega Park?

See you on the streets of Port Carverton!

I just got my copy of Skate 3 today and had to play it right away. So I have now been playing it all day and I can safely say that this is the best Skate game out there. It surpasses Skate 1 & 2 by so much.

There are endless new and improver features available in the 3rd Skate. The skate park builders are fantastic, the new trick are to die for, the Hall of meat is the best there is and the graphics and the whole new maps are Amazing.

Buy this game if you love skateboarding or just buy it if you like games in general!



5 out of 5 stars Great game, Great time!   May 20, 2010

Though this game may have a few minor flaws, it is easily the best in EA's skate series.

Improved walking mechanics, a few new tricks thrown in, and a skate.Park creater are just a few of the new things added to this installment of the game.

Sell boards, earn things, progress through the game having fun. That's what it's all about, in my personal opinion.

As someone who skated for four years, this game is by far the closest thing to the real deal. Tricks look amazing, set-up is basically the exact thing as in real life on hardcore mode, and I'm loving every minute of it.

This is the skate game everyone has been looking and waiting for. Sure Tony Hawk's series will forever be remembered as the beginning of something great, but EA's skate 3 tops off the genre with aplomb.

Is this new game worth your money? I was skeptic, but it was definitely worth it. What a smooth execution.

So why not go ahead and buy it now? You're missing out on something to be experienced!

First reviewer said it best. This is the best SKATE yet. Levels are HUUUUUGE, the tricks are improved, the walking around is better, the build a park is great. The graphics are simply amazing, too. Couldn't be more pleased with this game. Gotta get it!
