highly recommended

It's 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 to define your style, skate delivers authentic boarding like no other videogame. Individualstyle mixed with physics-driven animations promise that no two tricks will ever be the same, and there's plenty of room to pull off those trick. 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. 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. Online Gameplay?skate features extensive online gameplay including multiple online multiplayer modes.

Skate is amazing

Skate is by far the best skate board game i have played. I recently got Xbox 360 and the games graphics are unbeleivable. The game is extremely realistic with actually having to set up for tricks and rails, and jumping curves. It has a large variety to skate and things like staying away from security guards. The live version is good to with being able to free skate and competitions. Skate is ten times better than Tony Hawks Pro Skater because that game is unrealistic where you just hit x to do a trick. Skate you actually move the joy stick to do a rotation. Its a great game and i recommend it.

Best skateboarding game so far

This game is great for a number of reasons. It has great graphics, is very realistic (at least more so that tony hawk), and has an incredible amount of replay value. I have beaten the game 4 times already, and I still enjoy going back and just skating.

skate.

"skate." A fitting title. No obnoxious cartoonish tricks or gameplay. The best approach to a skateboarding game to date.

Let's start with saying it's about as realistic as you could possibly want a video game. If it were any more it probably wouldn't even be fun to play, (For instance, you're cruising down the street looking for a nice spot, and forget to ollie up the curb to the side walk, you're in for a faceplant.) But as far as that goes, it's perfect.
There is no "Grind button", no "Ollie button" ect., you actually control the board. Which makes grinding just as much about the line you take at it, than hitting the grind you want. Making a 360 flip down a set something you can actually appreciate, or a blunt on anything great. I know this game came out a long time ago, I just got tired of paying 50-60 bucks for a video game, but I will tell you unlike many games you buy just to regret and would have rather have that money in your pocket, that thought won't cross your mind.

Not only for real skaters

This is the new revolution to skater games no more button mashing. This game is realistic but not too hard. Tony Hawk dosent have nothin on this game. It beats it in graphics and keeps you intrested. If you dig skating like I do then realistic plays a big part in this game. Your not flying everywhere like a monkey but you can still get so air.

Great but full of bugs

This game is really, really fun. It is way better than the Tony Hawk series. You can choose to do the path of challenges to become a top ranked pro or just cruise around the city busting 360 laser flips.

I found that the controls work just fine. You flick the right stick to perform different ollie tricks. The learning curve was steep enough for it to challenge but not too steep to cause unacceptable frustration.

The graphics and music are both sweet. If you are an old skater like myself, you will dig much about this game. Some of the challenges are hard and some are easy. The sound is also very good. A boardslide sounds like a board slide, etc.

The loading times are fairly long and frequent if you are going to do the challenges. Want to change your outfit or board? Go to the map and click the skate shop. Then you load to the skate shop (30 seconds to a minute). Go into the skate shop (30 seconds to load). Then go over to the shopping section and click into create a skater (45 seconds to load). Make your changes or buy new gear. Leave create a skater (30 seconds to load). Leave the shop (30 seconds to load). You see it takes a while in the neighborhood of 3-5 minutes to change your board. I am sure this is because the environments are pretty huge in this game. It still is not acceptable.

The worst part of this game are the bugs. I have never seen a game this bad on the Xbox. Seriously it is terrible as far as bugs. For instance, I have not been able to play the X-Games portion at all because I have not been able to load it. It loads me into the air and I just fall and fall. I have tried a number of tricks to get it to load and have been unable to. This is not the only bug I have seen but just the only one I have not been able to get past.

This a really good game and you will have loads of fun playing it. The game itself would have 5 stars solidly. However, the frequent loading, long loading times and the bugs made me subtract 1 star. I should have taken off more but the game is that good.
