Who's played it? What do you think of it.

I've heard about it. The physics are too real for my tastes. You can't jump 50 feet in the air, do a 520 melon, then land with a 5 minute grind with a x95 combo in skate.
PM me for DS friend codes. PLEASE!

I really like, played the demo on 360.
I know Rob and Big are going to be in it, can't wait to see how that works out! :lol:

I'm considering getting it and I don't play consoles...at all. :P
Halo 3 is around the corner for me right now, so meh.

I would give it a 4.5
Some things don't seem completely accurate. I ollied a ramp and pulled a front flip, it was only a few inches off the ground.

The game overall is amazing. Looking back on the Gameboy game, "Skate or die" was it? You know, hopping barrels and crap.

Then, Tony Hawks underground cam along. Hitting a quarter pipe at 10mph and flying 30 ft. up. :roll:

I think EA is really on to something with these "stick only" type controlls. It really gets you into the game. At least, it really gets ME into the game...

And the city! San Vanelona (That's San Francisco, Vancouver, and Barcelona mixed together for anyone who cares to know) is an AMAZING game city. It's freaking massive! I love it. Even the soundtrack is awesome. At first I thought oh great, another punk soundtrack... but no! There's freaking Slayer and Children of Bodom!

Overall, I am very, VERY pleased with how this rare gem from EA turned out.

I think it's awesome and blows Tony Hawk away. Easily the best skate game to date.

A few things I do not like:

1.) Not being able to walk around and get off of your board.

2.) Way too sensitive when touching a pedestrian or a slight bend in the curb could make you eat pavement.

3.) I'd like to free skate online with other people for more than 5 minutes without losing my connection.

4.) I'd like to free skate online with other people for more than 5 minutes without crippling lag.

5.) I'd like to free skate online with other people for more than 5 minutes without massive locking issues whenever another player logs on or off of the map.

There is nothing like being in the middle of an awesome trick and having the game freeze and randomly place you somewhere on the map.

3, 4, &, 5 are the really big ones, the rest I can deal with.
