That sounds like a lot of features for a demo!

I wonder with this game... because surely that can't do much different from the last Skate...
I Shall be Downloading this Later that day

There are a lot of new things in Skate 2. New controls, new tricks. You can go online and make a custom graphic, upload it to the game and put it on your board, hat, or shirt.

You can basically move anything in the game to your liking, and even save it! Trust me, it's going to be crazy. This is coming from a guy that has played and still plays the original Skate for two years now.

The skate reel has been upgraded as well.

This is great! I loved Skate.. yet still have some reservations about Skate 2 with the new "getting off your board" and "moving stuff around".

Being able to test it out this early.. this will be nice.

Thank God they got some new stuff because i found Skate after a while just seemed very... like you just doing the same stuff over and over again but i love the flick it' sort of thing. Tony Hawk's games are numbered i think.

Was the sequel supposed to be a secret? Last Saturday night Block Buster had cases with the "skate. II" logo on them with "Reserve Your Copy Today" written on them.

Can't. Fucking. Wait. Loved the original. The demos will be on both the 360 and PS3 by Thursday of next week, so I will be able to decide which version to buy!
