"Get Ready for All the Fun, Creativity and Culture of Skateboarding Without the Hours of Practice, Broken Bones, and Hospital Visits!"

Skate is the closest thing to skateboarding without actually putting your feet on a board. With innovative controls that take advantage of the dual analog sticks, the power of the next gen hardware, and the ability to sculpt tricks that define your own style, skate delivers an authentic boarding mecca like no other videogame.

Individual style combined with physics-driven animations promise that no two tricks will ever be the same. And there's plenty of room to pull off those tricks-San Vanelona challenges you to explore, find, and own the best spots. You can even capture footage to create and show off your style with friends across the world-because without footage, it's fiction.

Depending on how you roll in the game, you'll start seeing your own coverage in Thrasher or The Skateboard Mag.

Ladd, Chris Cole, Jason Dill, Pat Duffy, Jerry Hsu, Paul Rodriguez, Dennis Busenitz, Alex Chalmers, Chris Haslam, Colin McKay, John Rattray, Ryan Gallant, Ryan Smith, and Terry Kennedy!
Define Your Style of Skating: Create your own style and personality with animation and physics that give you the freedom to decide how your skater looks, feels, and rides. Get creative as you develop your own tricks and string them together to create lines.
Flickit: The days of button mashing are over. The intuitive Flickit dual analog control lets you perform skill-based trick executions that capture the real-world feel and true attitude of skating.
Make San Vanelona Your Playground: Get chased by security guards, impress and/or annoy the citizens in this fully reactive city. San Vanelona is the ultimate skate mecca where you can ride with pros, discover skate shops, and own spots to make them yours.
Online Gameplay: Skate features an extensive online gameplay system including multiple online multiplayer modes. Gamers can hit up popular spots in the city with friends across the country.

5 of 5 Thrasher Skate and Destroy reborn! Saturday, January 05, 2008
A Gamer from Decatur, Illinois  

Dual analog controls are intuitive and are a refreshing change to a monopolized skateboarding franchise. This is a must buy skateboard simulator.
