Skate

"One the the more better controling that I have ever played with"

EA skate this game is a big jump from the tony hawk pro skaters,wasteland etc. This game makes skate boarding as if you were on a skateboard yourself.

I will start off with the Story Mode. The story is a great story it really shows you what it's like to be a pro skater. In the story you can get on the cover of Thasher. You can get sponsered by doing what the sponsership wants you to do. It's not just boards you can get sponsered by Boards,Shoes,Trucks and Wheels. In the story mode the missions you do are not grind a 50 foot t-rex like in tony hawk, instead you will do something that makes sence and that a skater can do. There are skating competions in the skating competions you skate with people you know and when you beat them your rep goes up can get known and then you can have competions with pro skaters. I rate this story mode Flawless 10/10

Next I will talk about the graphics on the game. The graphics are great if you do a 360 flip it will look like how it is in real life. It's real that the grahices get the FULL rotation off all the tricks you do. Another thing is the graphics show you what something look like in real live. Like at the X-Games Staduim it shows you what it looks like and all the features it has to it. If you over do a trick and you do not have the time in the air you need for the trick you will fall, say if you try a double kickflip and a late shuv-it on flat ground your skater is going to fall off the board. The pro skaters in the games look just like them. They don't only look just like them they even dress like that skater would dress like in real life. I rate the graphics Flawless 10/10

Next Is the controls. Wow! The controls are nothing like Tony Hawk they are some of the most real controls I have ever played with. You don't press A and B to do a kickflip you have to move the right stick which ever way the trick goes. So if you do a kickflip hold the stick down and flick right or left depending on if your riding goofy or regular, A very real thing about that is you hold it down before you do a trick and it bends you knees so you can get more pop on your trick. I rate the Controls a Flawless 10/10
