Gamer 2.0: Skate 2 Impressions

Gamer 2.0 writes: "When the original Skate came out last year, it was a breath of fresh air to everyone who had grown tired of the stagnant Tony Hawk formula. It brought a more realistic feel to skateboarding and introduced a new control mechanism that made you feel like you were actually involved in the whole process of skating. This month EA is launching the sequel to Skate, imaginatively titled Skate 2. So has it managed to pull off the same trick as the original? Initial impressions certainly point in the right direction."
