It's the next best thing when you can't get out and hit the pavement.... The game is all balls and no consequence. I've waited 20 years since 720 was an arcade for a game that truly captures the essence of skating.

we did a little in-house skate trailer video using skate 2 footage:

I still don't have it, but I found a way to get out of the park on the demo, is awesome.

I d/l the demo and it was very fun. Doing the maneuvers felt pretty natural, I havent kept up with other comparable games, tho.

I just got it today and I love finally having an HD tv!
Gameplay seems to be slower than skate 1. I also bought Halo 3 so not sure what's going to consume my night.

In regards to the "get a real board" comment. I'm pretty sure most of the people who buy this game all own real skateboards. I've been skateboarding for 15 years now(at least). You don't want none of my half cab nose slide, 270 out.

the thing that was unfortunate about the first game's career mode was that one of the challenges was to upload a video to the ea:skate site, AND you can only upload a video if you store it on a hard drive.
I thought that was kind of unfair. I didn't have a hard drive at the time, but just got one this week with their awesome upgrade program for new Xbox Live - $20 for the 20GB.
Hey, also, since quite a few of us are getting this game, let's exchange gamertags and meet up on Live at some point.
My tag is Mr Sinistro, I think... Might be Mr. Sinistro or MRSINISTRO

sitting on top of my gamefly queue.. hopefully they ship it today.
I hope there aren't any aggravatingly hard parts of career mode this time around. I got stuck at one point on Skate and just gave up.

I preorded it a week ago and picked it up yesterday at Gamestop. It's awesome! The gameplay for the most part is the same, but tweaked, if that make sense. There is more emphasis on hitting grinds at the right angle and other attention to details. Like, your trucks can get caught up on a boardslide and doing a 360 or 180 is slower...sorta. There's a lot more pools and shit too. There are parts of the old game in it to.

are there any cheats for the 360 version that opens all the courses/skaters?

it hard at first, once you get the hang of it is great.
career mode is ok, but I agree the best thing is to skate around.
