you are the most dependable reviewer out there. i've learned that if you aren't excited about it, it genuinely isn't that great and you're almost always spot on.
Bro, your commentary cracked me up on this one lol I've just bought this dirt cheap today I like how you can buy a game that's cheap thinking you're getting a bargain then you realise... the price was supposed to be a deterrent not a bargain lol
man, I remember when my dad bought me tony hawk's pro skater 2 for PSOne when I was little. Now everytime I listen to Guerilla Radio or any song that appears in the game reminds me of sweet, sweet childhood...
@MrSexologu IT CAN'T BE BECAUSE THE TRICKS ARE DONE WITH THE ANALOG STICK BUT IT COULD BE A PORT FOR PC THAT CAN BE PLAYED ONLY WITH A CONTROLLER OR A ANOTHER VERSION OF IT WITH CONTROLS FOR KEYBOARD OR CONTROLS FOR A CONTROLLER
HEY! You should review ""Stoked: Big Air Edition for Xbox360."" I don't have a Xbox360, only a PS3, and I am disappointed that they haven't made it for the PS3. SO that is why you should review that awesome game, that for some reason isn't promoted that much.
I should consider seeing if that store I sold my copy of pro skater 2x didn't sell it yet, better than what they call skateboarding games these days (pro skater hd gave me a headache)
@FastTquick that movie had the same plot as city of ember just in city of embers except it was little kids and not robert duvall, the guy doctor evil was based off, and the token black guy.
@gnarly79 Of course. Both of them are awesome. The only fact I hate is that, some games that are out for the X360, and it should be for the PS3 as well. My friends who has X360, think of the same thing but opposite opinion.
@YayBolbee did not come here to criticize people I came here because I like Marks review style and needed a new skateboarding game. What really annoys me is all the comments putting people down for liking a type of game by saying this skateboarding game is better than that type of skateboarding game and most of these so called hardcore gamers have probably never even been out skateboarding . It was wrong of me to sink to there level and for that I am sorry. I am normal a nice guy
If Tony Hawk couldnt top EA Skate games i'm positive this one wont. Dont get me wrong i spent hours as a kid playing THPS2 and i could still play it now, but the new ones seem different maybe the physics, Skate is the most realistic skateboarding game up to date, and i'm glad ive got it
@BillyCauseyjr Sounds about right. But if they'd had the attitude that the previous poster demanded -- "X can't be beaten; we shouldn't bother trying" -- then they wouldn't have succeeded. When developers try to outdo each other, gamers win.
@pankakeflipper3 I agree !!! skate 1 , 2 ,3 are the best !!! i have the first and preorder the 3 greetings from japan man !!! skate rulez oh and Shaun white skateboarding ? whats next Tony hawks pro surf ?
@coskbeatz No, they need to start succeeding. If EA had the attitude that the Tony Hawk series was so firmly entrenched that it wasn't worth trying to beat them, they'd never have developed Skate in the first place.
The problem is not the much fps in the market.The problem is that they're are mostly the same.Only a few like brothers in arms,portal and half life aren't like that
You really need to try out EA's Skate. Out of all of the Skateboarding games today, it's probably the only one that's done anything innovative. You could skip straight to the 3rd one if you want, but you might want to start off playing the first one since it's extremely cheap and has a certain charm to it.
Did you see the part where you are "sticking it to the man" by skating up against billboards that says "No Chewing", turning them into product placement for chewing gum? Hello! Product placement IS The Man!
@SDsuperKILLZ ueah, but bmx dont have much groung tricks, bmx needs verts or ramps.. skateboard is more popular and has alot (ALOT) of groung tricks (kickflip heelflip hardflip laser flip 360 flip.....) but if they would make they'er own tricks, and invent stuff, i think it would be awsome. infact, MBX should be avable on skate 4
Yes...and the obvious paid endorsements for real-life businesses inside this game world are not from corporate sponsors...the creators of the game just want it to be realistic so that you will fully realize your struggle against "the man".
I wonder just how much involvement Shaun White had in the development of the various games that bear his name. Was he the one who dreamed up this ridiculous "fight the power" nonsense that takes itself so seriously? Or was he more heavily involved in dreaming up the simple, straightforward, and actually entertaining Wii games? Or -- most likely -- did he just speak the lines the scriptwriter gave him, pose for the box art, and collect his paycheck?
Just bought this game for $3.74 lol Alot of people seem to be railing it pretty bad but you know what i played Skate 3 demo and absolutely hated the difficulty of even pulling one move off if i wanted to try that hard to do a trick id go buy a fucking skateboard. Games are for entertainment not to please all the fanboys out there so im still looking forward to playing it.
wow! I thought I was the only one! I too have been unimpressed with every skateboarding game since tony hawks 2 on the dreamcast. What happened? I say bring the old skool THPS back and forget all this storyline crap.
I thing i want to say about this game is DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT FALL u can do whatever ur trick are without worries fall. skate 3/2 fall so esy but i till like them, but this game is like so easy to do the trick.
Yeah, the things that you can do in Tony Hawk, aren't exactly humanly possible either. I do agree about playing TH on the dreamcast and listening to RATM. Mark just doesn't like the game because their are no flame throwers in it!~
Wow the camera angle in this game looks terrible. In THPS2 the camera was placed so jumps looked all giant and awesome. In this review it looks like you're jumping about 3 feet, and doing so unreasonably slow.
I'd rather play any oldsk00l Tony Hawk title again. Like recently THPS2 on the ipod touch :D Even THPS was far away from real skateboarding but in a good way. What you do in this game though has nothing to do with it at all...
Do you know TrickStyle? That's a cool skateboarding game before the era of Tony Hawk and stuff. I don't like the speed indicating waves behind the guy. What the hell is he sliding on!? It's sad that you can't fall on the face in this game. Coloring the city is for De Blob... Somehow I don't really like this game. The board doesn't have the reading that are in the cutscene when the guy handed you the board. This game is weird in so many ways.
@blindingsun dude, BMX isnt popular. if you ask any one who tony hawk is, they will know. if you ask them who matt whilhelm his, they won't have a clue. also, skateing games are more fun. they tryed to make bmx games in the 90's, but nobody bought them, every one just bought the tony hawk game insted. and dont call me stupid, because i didnt offend you in any way, so dont try to offend me.
@RDV333 some coporatrions good, some corporations bad...in this game there all bad it seems. i like stories of taking down the man...but it seems difficult to get my head around one doing it by skating O_o
Boy, I love how everything your skateboard touches flashes out a yellow fart wave. What an innovative game.
i love your reviews because you tell the truth in which help me pick out the games Ive previously bought
and what is the explanation to these neon ramps that seem to move around?
shaun white looks a lot like derek buck, surprised no one noticed that lmao!
you are the most dependable reviewer out there. i've learned that if you aren't excited about it, it genuinely isn't that great and you're almost always spot on.
@Zoogle88 I'm not familiar with City of Ember which is why I first thought of THX-1138 when comparing Shaun White Skateboarding's story.
Skate 3 is the best skateboarding game out right now. Please review it!
Bro, your commentary cracked me up on this one lol I've just bought this dirt cheap today
I like how you can buy a game that's cheap thinking you're getting a bargain then you realise... the price was supposed to be a deterrent not a bargain lol
man, I remember when my dad bought me tony hawk's pro skater 2 for PSOne when I was little. Now everytime I listen to Guerilla Radio or any song that appears in the game reminds me of sweet, sweet childhood...
Tony hawks pro skater and underground were my favourite skating games, the skate series is pretty good aswell
@TheProfir why not ? , he raises a good point , as do u , theyve both been done an are missing in the current markettt / gen systems
Wait, at least we have Ministry on the soundtrack, right?
what do u change your voice with
Jet Set Radio cloning done wrong (on all fronts)
@MrSexologu IT CAN'T BE BECAUSE THE TRICKS ARE DONE WITH THE ANALOG STICK BUT IT COULD BE A PORT FOR PC THAT CAN BE PLAYED ONLY WITH A CONTROLLER OR A ANOTHER VERSION OF IT WITH CONTROLS FOR KEYBOARD OR CONTROLS FOR A CONTROLLER
Even though I grew up with tony hawk pro skater and grind, I actually really liked skate and skate 2. It felt challenging but fun and approachable.
@SnatchierRafael thats right playa
What does this game think it is? Jet Set Radio?
@djklink20009 The guy or the game series?
Tony Hawk Pro 2 was my game back in the day! lol
HEY! You should review ""Stoked: Big Air Edition for Xbox360."" I don't have a Xbox360, only a PS3, and I am disappointed that they haven't made it for the PS3. SO that is why you should review that awesome game, that for some reason isn't promoted that much.
you're intro is makes my subwoofer, show off! =D
@dog2547 agreed.
I didn't know a skateboard could be so powerful.
Same here with all the music from tony hawk pro skater 2. friggin loved that game on the ps1
What about people on the PC?
I know how much this game sucks but I just love it so much.
Gran Turismo 5 is being released on November 27th, this month according google news!!!
I should consider seeing if that store I sold my copy of pro skater 2x didn't sell it yet, better than what they call skateboarding games these days (pro skater hd gave me a headache)
@FastTquick that movie had the same plot as city of ember just in city of embers except it was little kids and not robert duvall, the guy doctor evil was based off, and the token black guy.

Epic What Dreams May Come reference.
Also Skate 3 is like Charles Bronson compared to Shaun White's skateboarding a.k.a. Pauly Shore.
@YayBolbee

You should really review this for the Wii since it is a totally different game.
If Tony Hawk couldnt top EA Skate games i'm positive this one wont. Dont get me wrong i spent hours as a kid playing THPS2 and i could still play it now, but the new ones seem different maybe the physics, Skate is the most realistic skateboarding game up to date, and i'm glad ive got it
@SDsuperKILLZ I think it would be sorta hard to make a whole game on bmxing
@BillyCauseyjr Sounds about right. But if they'd had the attitude that the previous poster demanded -- "X can't be beaten; we shouldn't bother trying" -- then they wouldn't have succeeded.

@ebicurry Mark, the intro is fine.
Epic review.
@coskbeatz No, they need to start succeeding. If EA had the attitude that the Tony Hawk series was so firmly entrenched that it wasn't worth trying to beat them, they'd never have developed Skate in the first place.
The problem is not the much fps in the market.The problem is that they're are mostly the same.Only a few like brothers in arms,portal and half life aren't like that
Isn't Shaun White a snow-boarder?
@ChicoEdge I would totally buy the CGR intro theme on iTunes.
@IamCunningLinguist nope, you need to keep balance like in the tony hawk games.
Whats with the rails and such forming from nowhere? you creating ramps with the force or something?
Damn skateboard Jedi!
@SnatchierRafael skate 3 is now for me onpossible to find in shop -.- only this 1 is findable ( srry for bad english)
i want skate 4 !

@duffy7zrf thats not saying much because the tony hawk games are awesome
@Kingofprinces85
Maybe Shaun White has a second Job at CGR ;)
what happen to tony hawk?
Did you see the part where you are "sticking it to the man" by skating up against billboards that says "No Chewing", turning them into product placement for chewing gum? Hello! Product placement IS The Man!
Guerilla Radio is Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. not Tony Hawk Pro Skater.
I really hope I'm not the only one who knows what "ungood" means haha. I love Mark.
@SDsuperKILLZ ueah, but bmx dont have much groung tricks, bmx needs verts or ramps.. skateboard is more popular and has alot (ALOT) of groung tricks (kickflip heelflip hardflip laser flip 360 flip.....) but if they would make they'er own tricks, and invent stuff, i think it would be awsome. infact, MBX should be avable on skate 4
Yes...and the obvious paid endorsements for real-life businesses inside this game world are not from corporate sponsors...the creators of the game just want it to be realistic so that you will fully realize your struggle against "the man".
before i got on youtube, i was out skating and one of the songs on my ipod playlist was: Guerilla Radio - Rage against the machine. No kidding.
Hmm the Orwellian-ness seems very out of place in this game I would say. Right I'm off to the shops to by some new skate boarding moves!
@5lats hes a gold medalist in multiple sports like snowboarding and here skateboarding
This game looks like impossible as you said. try on Skate 3. I think it is AWSOME!
This just makes me want to have SKATE on PC even more now XD
you should review skate 3
@SDsuperKILLZ dave mirra came out with a game like that a long time ago, it was so good,
@ebicurry NO THE INTRO MUSIC IS AWESOME
@gongon102010 t that's the best you got?
isnt shaun white snowboarder?
I wonder just how much involvement Shaun White had in the development of the various games that bear his name. Was he the one who dreamed up this ridiculous "fight the power" nonsense that takes itself so seriously? Or was he more heavily involved in dreaming up the simple, straightforward, and actually entertaining Wii games? Or -- most likely -- did he just speak the lines the scriptwriter gave him, pose for the box art, and collect his paycheck?
this makes me wanna get skate 1-3
@SDsuperKILLZ based on your comment they should make EA roller skates o_0, or EA snowboard
Just bought this game for $3.74 lol Alot of people seem to be railing it pretty bad but you know what i played Skate 3 demo and absolutely hated the difficulty of even pulling one move off if i wanted to try that hard to do a trick id go buy a fucking skateboard. Games are for entertainment not to please all the fanboys out there so im still looking forward to playing it.
Love the story , at least in video games you can do something about the system
wow! I thought I was the only one! I too have been unimpressed with every skateboarding game since tony hawks 2 on the dreamcast. What happened? I say bring the old skool THPS back and forget all this storyline crap.
i wonna play it once. release a demo plzzzzz
whats the point if every game is the same?
I thing i want to say about this game is DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT FALL
u can do whatever ur trick are without worries fall.
skate 3/2 fall so esy but i till like them, but this game is like so easy to do the trick.
@mezavecis Did i say it wasnt for pc? lol
Yeah, the things that you can do in Tony Hawk, aren't exactly humanly possible either. I do agree about playing TH on the dreamcast and listening to RATM. Mark just doesn't like the game because their are no flame throwers in it!~
ministry of magic?
Wow the camera angle in this game looks terrible. In THPS2 the camera was placed so jumps looked all giant and awesome.
In this review it looks like you're jumping about 3 feet, and doing so unreasonably slow.
@SundownOtaku i do believe its bigger then its ever been
How about Shaun White Skateboard Karnage!!!!
I'd rather play any oldsk00l Tony Hawk title again. Like recently THPS2 on the ipod touch :D Even THPS was far away from real skateboarding but in a good way. What you do in this game though has nothing to do with it at all...
The city must be called "I Already Forgot'" because mark said so! lol
So basically this is an an unfun, unstylized version of JetSetRadio on a skateboard?
Well, the story reminds me more of Momo by Michael Ende.
@AoDIronMask Don't forget their videogames! :D
Do you know TrickStyle? That's a cool skateboarding game before the era of Tony Hawk and stuff. I don't like the speed indicating waves behind the guy. What the hell is he sliding on!? It's sad that you can't fall on the face in this game. Coloring the city is for De Blob... Somehow I don't really like this game. The board doesn't have the reading that are in the cutscene when the guy handed you the board. This game is weird in so many ways.
I still prefer the Skate series. I'll end up renting this just to check it out and will probably be disappointed.
Skate 1 beats them all
@ForrestJ88
to me it looks doubleplusungood but i shouldn't say that or it might be looked at as crimethink.
@SumDuDe34 good for people who actually skate because its relatable
Mark when is super meat boy review coming out!!! like tis so Mark can see this
Thps were legendary but skate games are awesume
@blindingsun dude, BMX isnt popular. if you ask any one who tony hawk is, they will know. if you ask them who matt whilhelm his, they won't have a clue.
also, skateing games are more fun. they tryed to make bmx games in the 90's, but nobody bought them, every one just bought the tony hawk game insted.
and dont call me stupid, because i didnt offend you in any way, so dont try to offend me.
@RDV333 some coporatrions good, some corporations bad...in this game there all bad it seems. i like stories of taking down the man...but it seems difficult to get my head around one doing it by skating O_o
This seems to more resemble Jet Set Radio than Tony Hawk
@SDsuperKILLZ Agree! i'm shure they would'nt make a misstake!
Literally it would be F*CKING Awesome!
The story reminds me of THX-1138. Anyone remember that?
@Cooleyo789 he's a pro skater aswell.
