anyone else picked this up? £29.99 in game just now and well worth it. totally addictive and quite challenging, it feels amazing when you finally pull off that trick sequence you've been trying for 30 minutes. kicks tony hawks arse.

My friend has it on PS3. Really tempted to buy it as it's pretty good.

Bit difficult getting used to the approach to doing tricks compared to the Hawk games but it's cool though!

I wanted to like it but couldn't. I had the same problem with this as I did with the very first fight night, in that the controls are too imprisise.

but isn't that more realistic though? i love the control system and once you get used to them it's dead easy to flow your tricks(well, sometimes. i always bail cause i'm crap).

If I wanted to put that much effort in I would be just as well skateboarding!

Anyone remember Thrasher: Skate and Destroy for the Playstation. I fucking loved that game for more than Tony Hawk's, just felt more real; hence why I really want to try Skate.

i'm 27 years old and overweight with no sense of balance, why would i want to try skateboarding in real life if i can play it at home on my couch? it would be madness.
