    Heavily disappointed by this one. I love Skate 2 and Skate 3 but have never played the first game, until now. Played for about 2 or 3 hours and got incredibly bored and angry.

    The gameplay is the same yet, somehow not as fun as the other two. I found it annoying have no matter how I moved the stick, I got an ollie 95% of the time. I didn't like how you were stuck on the super low camera    Heavily disappointed by this one. I love Skate 2 and Skate 3 but have never played the first game, until now.

    The gameplay is the same yet, somehow not as fun as the other two. I found it annoying have no matter how I moved the stick, I got an ollie 95% of the time. I didn't like how you were stuck on the super low camera angle, no option to change it. I didn't like how hard the challenges were.

    There was nothing in this game to make me want to keep playing, nothing at all. It's a shame because I love the other two...    … Expand

    As a brand new IP, based on an idea that could have completely blown up in EA's face, skate is an amazingly complete experience. Those who choose to relax and skate leisurely -- looking for cool lines and taking on the occasional challenge -- will likely find the most enjoyment.

    Built around utterly convincing physics and animation systems and a unique control scheme that's equal parts challenge and reward, it manages to be realistic without being discouraging and feels completely different from not only the competition, but from anything else out there.

    These controls feel great, and they really need to since the game isn’t in the slightest bit forgiving. When you go for a grind, you won’t magically be transported onto the rail. You have to line it up and pray that you time your jump and adjoining trick correctly.
