Skate 3 Review

[HiTEqMETHOD]

I organized my post in paragraphs with indents, why is it all jumbled together?

i feel this score. this game is good, and I'm not even a skater.

I have never really been into skating games...think I played the skate or skate 2 demo a while ago and liked it. Took a huge chance in my mind and bought this over the weekend and I am really surprised how much FUN the game is. Since I didn't play the first 2 in the series I'm able to have a lot of fun without thinking about the game in relation to its predecessors.

I'm thinking I might pick this up tomorrow. They have it for 39.99 at GS new. Is there any incentive to buy it new or should I go used?

I think you're good to buy it used. It came out before that Online Pass business, so I think you can just save yourself a couple bucks.

I'd have to agree with whoever said Skate1 > Skate 2 > Skate 3.

This is truly a shame.

But, after buying Skate 2 over the weekend for 20 bucks, and having to deal with the god awful frame rate issues for the PS3 version (seems worse than the first skate) it seems that equation is truth.

This series has so much potential. I don't see why they can't makes this run in a smooth fashion. No excuse for it.

Skate 3 retail isn't smooth either?

The first Skate has a constant framerate, but at 30 FPS I don't know if I am satisfied with the sacrifice that's made for it.

Gamespot said there were F.R.I. in Skate 3. So sad. I would rather have 20 FPS than the issues that are in Skate 2.

Gotta agree with this. I wasn't too keen on it when it first came out, but have gotten back into playing it and think it's a near masterpiece.

I'm playing it on the 360 and don't see any frame rate issues. I've also looked into the park creator a bit more and now realize just how cool of a feature it is, something I didn't see before because I didn't spend much time with it.

I think mainly it's just the bitterness I had towards Skate 2 is finally gone, because I can now say Skate 3 is a flat out great game.
