Skate 2 is, in my opinion, revolutionary for the skateboarding game genre. Using it's flickit controls, it's really got me hooked. However, it seems to be more overlooked against more popular games that have come out but I still reckon that tit's worth a decent look at by any competitive/casual video game player.
I'm sure you probably don't. I'd say it kicks TH off its throne. Rather than button mashing and going "Hey that's new" you gotta work for your tricks-just like a real skater.
It's best when you Coffin down the highest spot and you're going so fast when you go off a ramp I might as well get up and late kickflip or something! Also Hall of Meat is the best addition to a game ever! Spent 1 hour jumping off a really high point-broke all my bones in one go xD
I kill the Murderhorn. Coffin down the ramp, hold it till I'm in he air, do some crazy flip(it's different every time), land it in a grind(usually), fly down the pipes, late kickflip over that gap, and finish. It's awesome.
