skate. Demo impressions
soadsam | 2:16 PM on 08.21.2007 5 comments


So last night i stayed up until 4 a.m. just waiting for this demo to come out, and i can honestly say that the wait was well worth it. I now feel like there should be no reason to ever pick up a THPS game again, its just not necessary. Im surprised at how well of a job EA black box did on this guy. Without giving to much away this game is exactly how a skating game should feel. When you take your board down a set of stairs, you actually see your wheels roll off of one step to the next, ass opposed to just floating down them. The developers hit the nail right on the head when they told us there really is a level of accomplishment everytime you pull off a line. So who else has tried the demo? Will you continue to play Tony Hawk after the full skate. game is released?

I can't wait to try this game out. It just looks epic. My 360 is in the repair shop for the next week or so.

skate rules and yeah maybe i might play tony hawk again, they are two different games but skate is definitely so much more challenging and fun.

never gonna play thps again, my sentiments exactly. i was really hoping not to have another game to buy this year, but this'll have to be one of them.

the voice acting and cut scenes are a bit lacking, but i guess you're not exactly playing a skating game for the story.
