Game Review: Skate 3


Alright, well, although Skate 3 by EA is around a year old, there hasn't been anything released lately so I'm going to talk about one of my favorite games. First off, I recommend playing both Skate and Skate 2 first, but it's fine if you don't. When the first Skate came out, I probably racked up weeks of game-play hours because it was the best skateboarding game I have ever played. I grew up with the Tony hawk franchise and loved them all the way up till they started the Underground series which was horrible. When Skate came along, it took skateboarding games to a whole new level with refined controls, realistic maneuvers, and much more. Skate 2 improved everything about the original game and then Skate 3 came along and even stepped it up more. Skate 3 added difficulty options like the "realistic" (I think that's what it's called) which added a whole new caliber of game play and also more create-a-park features. Although the game was very good, in my opinion they made it very easy to gain money and progress through the game and also the game was very heavily spent on the create-a-park feature and created parks which I'm not really a fan of, I don't want to spend countless hours making a unrealistic crazy park, I'd rather have more realistic parks or maybe real-life parks like they did with the Maloof Money Cup parks. But, besides that the game is great, the DLC content was awesome, and the replay value is the best because like in real life, you can always skate and Skate 3 does this perfectly. Hopefully EA will make another and keep this amazing franchise alive. I would recommend this game to anyone! Thanks for reading and please follow my blog.
