So while I know most people are extremely involved with Bioshock at the moment, it's definitely worth mentioning the skate demo that got released early this morning. While I thought Bioshock was pretty cool from the demo, FPSs lately haven't really been my fancy and I've been waiting for this skate demo ever since it was being developed. Overall it's a really good day for Xbox 360 users with Bioshock and the skate demo out today.
The skate demo is absolutely incredible and also at the same time hard. It is a good challenging hard though that is fair but sometimes unforgivable. The demo is vast with tutorials to help get you started, challenges, and the skate.reel feature which allows you to get 30 seconds of footy and upload to their servers. I believe the full game will allow a minute of footy. Either way, the community center is absolutely vast and probably about five times bigger than the skate park in the THP8 demo. The demo certainly is great practice until the actual game drops on September 12th for Xbox 360 and once you start landing your first flip tricks and grinds, it feels all so good and you know why this game is much much better than playing the same old rehashed Tony Hawk games. Sure, not everything is quite perfect, but it's pretty damn close to being perfect. I've been told that the demo is not quite the finished game and they have polished it a bit and while some people have complained about the floaty physics, in my opinion i don't see what people have been talking about, it's not bad at all and it gives you the ability to actually pull off tricks when you get another second or two of hang time.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied and I can't wait to pick up the full game. For now, it's all about shredding up the community center until then, it's so much fun anyways, I'd almost be satisfied if this were the whole game...I'm just kidding but still, this is definitely one of the best and most filling demos to come out on the Live Marketplace yet, so what are you waiting for?
