CVG Reviews Skate

Skate is a nightmare to review, but a joy to play. However gushing the description, you can’t explain the feeling – the physical sensation of relief, exhilaration and pride – of nailing a perfect trick on your anguished 37th go. In Hawk games, you ‘divine’ complex moves into life via a rapid-fire test of memory and reactions, in Skate you caress your moves with direct analogue fluidity and grace. Put simply – it feels like skateboarding.
