Salomon Vitane 9 Skate Boots

Skate

Advantages: Realistic, Stunning graphics, Fun, Great Re playability
Disadvantages: Numerous glitches

Skate, in my opinion, is probably EAs biggest success outside of the 'Fifa' franchise. It is true to skateboarding, it is realistic and represents the difficulty of learning how to skateboard. The controls are revolutionary- using the left joy stick to control the body and the right to control the board. The graphics are outstanding (in replay you can see amazing character detail such as stitches on your shoes and the wheels of your skateboard rotating) and the setting, 'San Venelona', is IMMENSE! It is a realistic city unlike anything in 'Tony Hawks'. In 'Tony Hawks' there are quarter pipes and ramps in the middle of the street however, on skate there are realistic stair sets, ledges, handrails etc. The use of video replay is good and online play is fantastic. The story challenges are fun and the idea of getting sponsered ...

Review of Skate (Xbox 360)

Skate Review

Advantages: Unique and fun controls - Great graphics - Able to upload footage - Replay value
Disadvantages: Frame rate issues - Not the best Multiplayer - Long loading times

This is a great game, in this review I will look into the main aspects of the game. I own the game on the Playstation 3 so I will be basing my review on that version but I am sure it is very similar on the XBOX 360. I hope you enjoy my review. Story: The story starts with a short video clip of you skating when suddenly you get hit by a bus. You are taken to hospital and you are so "messed up" you have to get plastic surgery. This is where you are able to customize your characters looks from body weight to hair style. You are then thrown into the action with a short tutorial to help you learn the controls. Controls: This is the main focus of the game. The people at EA wanted to create a more realistic feeling skateboarding game and make the player feel more at one with his skater. They did this by using ...

Review of Skate (PS3)

Polished skating experience...

Advantages: Really well thought-out learning curve, great fun to play
Disadvantages: Controls are sometimes a little tricky

This game came free with my PS3 a year or so ago, and I didn?t expect too much from it ? it was the pick of what looked like a bad bunch, the sort of ne?er-do-wells and over-hyped flops that are usually given away in console bundles. As it turned out, I was pleasantly surprised, and while I wouldn?t necessarily say it?s the best game I own, it is without doubt the one that has occupied the most of my time. Skate takes a different approach to the Tony Hawk games that I?d experienced before on my old PS2. Instead of accruing ?skill points? as you progress through the game, allowing your player to olly higher, skate faster and generally fall flat on his face less frequently, the onus is on you, the player, to hone your skills, going from a clumsy half-wit to a centre-fold pro over the course of the numerous and varied challenges that ...
