Skate is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually putting your feet on a board. With innovative controls that take advantage of the dual analog sticks, the power of the next gen hardware, and the ability to sculpt tricks that define your own style, skate delivers an authentic boarding mecca like no other videogame.
Individual style combined with physics-driven animations promise that no two tricks will ever be the same. And there’s plenty of room to pull off those tricks—San Vanelona challenges you to explore, find, and own the best spots. You can even capture footage to create and show off your style with friends across the world—because without footage, it's fiction.
Get ready for all the fun, creativity and culture of skateboarding without the hours of practice, broken bones, and hospital visits.
Features:
- Flickit—The days of button mashing are over. The intuitive Flickit dual analog control lets you perform skill-based trick executions that capture the real-world feel and true attitude of skating.
- Define Your Style of Skating—Create your own style and personality with animation and physics that give you the freedom to decide how your skater looks, feels and rides. Get creative as you develop your own tricks and string them together to create lines.
- Without Footage, It’s Fiction—Capture your sickest moves in game and bring them online for the world to see. Using innovative online video editing tools and add music to create the ultimate skate vid.
- Create Your Own Story—Skaters don't follow rules, they can choose how they want to progress through the game. Open progression allows gamers to skate how they want to skate. Become famous and generating mainstream hype or go the infamous route by outrunning security guards, owning spots and building street cred. Depending on how you roll in the game, you'll start seeing your own coverage in Thrasher or The Skateboard Mag.
- Make San Vanelona Your Playground—Get chased by security guards, impress and/or annoy the citizens in this fully reactive city. San Vanelona is the ultimate skate mecca where you can ride with pros, discover skate shops, and own spots to make them yours.
- Roll with the Pros—skate features professional legends and upcoming pros including Danny Way, Mark Gonzales, Rob Dyrdek, Mike Carroll, P.J. Ladd, Chris Cole, Jason Dill, Pat Duffy, Jerry Hsu, Paul Rodriguez, Dennis Busenitz, Alex Chalmers, Chris Haslam, Colin McKay, John Rattray, Ryan Gallant, Ryan Smith and Terry Kennedy.

Best skating game ever
Reviewed by Red from Auckland, NZ on December 29th, 2007
Craps all over Tony Hawk. Sure, it takes a bit of adjustment but the satisfaction you get from landing kickflip-grind-shoveit is quite incredible.
If you want ridiculously exaggerated tricks and stupid amounts of air, then THPS is for you. If you want genuine satisfaction and a real sense of enjoyment every minute you skate then grab this. Awesome.
Realistic and slick......
 Reviewed by Ewan from Auckland, NZ on October 24th, 2007
Having skated for many years (until I grew old and bits started falling off!) I always look at these type of games with mixed feelings. Nothing substitutes actually getting out there and any game that claims to be true to a sport or genre has go t a difficult task.
Tony hawk has always been the game I played on the PS and PS2 and I was surprised to see EA bring this out as I thought that the skateboard genre was pretty much covered. First impressions be everything, If you don't like the look or feel of these you can off them pretty quick.
You spend alot of time in this game just skating around, the environment is completely open and free to roam, in true 'GTA style'. Which is really what street skating is all about, rolling around looking to session rails, kerbs, banks, jumps, drops, transtions and any other city features that look like sweet spots.
Other skaters will help you out and show you how to advance certain moves. The analogue controllers are your main tool, which does take a bit of getting used to. Ultimately you find yourself wanting to hit rails and slides all over the place. Upgrades on gear are availible through shops and you get cool accessories like GPS phones and backpacks to help you get around and meet up with photographers, potential sponsors and other skaters.
Great graphics .
Gameplay - Takes getting used to.
Audio - Good soundtrack and realistic skate sounds.........
Menu and features - Pretty straight forward, quite a cool 'alternative' intro and menu feel!
All in a great Skate game with massive potential - difficult to master but hige environment and very true to the sport as about as realistic as it gets!! Worth a purchase for those who like skate games!!!!
