It is almost time for one of the most anticipated games of 2009. Skate 2 is set to be released on January 29th 2009 and people are already eager to book their place on the front lines to get hold of their own copy.
The game includes double the amount of tricks and a brand new city for people to skate in. San Valenona is the newly constructed city in which people can skate and it is truly a skaters paradise. Additionally, the career mode has changed slightly where you can now pick up professional skaters and help them revive their careers and re-invigorate the dying skate scene. New clothes, accessories, decks, trucks and shoes are all available including Dakine Bags and even Nixon Watches for you completely customisable character. The game also features numerous different famous skaters such as Mike Caroll, Eric Koston, Terry Kennedy and Chris Haslam. There are numerous videos available to watch on the net which preview the game and its features. The intro movie to Skate 2 is brilliant as it is all the skaters in the game trying to escape prison which is really funny!
The first instalment of the game was an utter success with gamers across the globe. It completely revolutionised the way people play skating games and it was so much fun. The game was really designed for next generation consoles in mind and it uses the entire controller brilliantly. Both analogue sticks are required to perform tricks so it makes it as realistic as possible rather than Tony Hawk which are deemed as more of the fantasy 'you can do anything' skating game where anything is possible. Although that sounds good it is better to have the game more realistic and accurate to how skating actually is which is far more enjoyable for the player. It makes the game harder which then makes people want to play it even more so he can get better and doing the tricks.
