(360 Rated 9) (PS3 Rated 8.8) EA Skate Review. Forget what you've learned in the Tony Hawk series. I know, that's not an easy thing to do, but none of it applies to skate. While skate is not fully grounded in reality, the physics-based skate engine and Flickit controls nullify the old way of hitting a lot of buttons and pressing the D-Pad in various directions to rack up insane combo scores. skate asks gamers to think more like a real skater, to envision their own lines from everyday objects. In skate, doing a varial heelflip over a set of stairs and landing in a 5-0 grind on a hubba is a phenomenal feat. And while anyone with even moderate skills can pull this off, it no less feels like a great accomplishment. In videogames, we are often able to do extraordinary things. That's true as well in skate, it's just that you play as an ordinary person, so the definition of "extraordinary" has been redefined. It no longer requires a heelflip transfer to be done on the moon or atop a roller coaster to be considered an accomplishment.
