skate.

Apparently that's how you suppose to spell out this game... right EA... I'd been completely hook for a few days in this game, not that because it's really addicitive, it's just sometimes this game frustrate the hell out of you. In general the 'Flickt' control works really well, except when the game ask you to do a specific trick follow another, because the analog stick can be not that responsive sometimes, it is quite difficult to pull them off. The other problem I've had with is the camera angle, it's suppose to emulate from a point of view of a camera-man following you, from a low angle. At times I have problem seeing what is in front of me because my skater blocks the view and does not go transparent more often than he should, I wasted many hours retrying races and trying to grind on certain rail. The loading time is also quite hideous and feels like that part of the game is poorly coded. Load time is way too long for its own good, at times when you moved off from 30m of where you originally started and you retry to start from your original spot, the games goes into a loading screen, I spent alot of times retrying and the loading just doesn't help the cause.

Overall, it's a very solid game and offer something new to the skating genre that's been dominated by Tony Hawk. This game will likely have a sequel and I hope the problems above will be fix in the near future.
