real like amped? like taking your feet out of your bindings while on a rail and waving your board around your head then landing? im really not trying to be an asshole man but amped is soo far from real... SKATE is a good example of a realistic zxtreme sports game

so is it more like skate or ssx/amped?

kinda a mix of both. Its unrealistic in the way that yu can do massive airs straight on to rails, but real in the way that its pretty hard to do large spins or anything over a double backflip.

Personally Im not to fond of it, i think its pretty jurky and there is no real flow to it at all. Plus the career part of it has no real purpose it seems, you just randomly find contests that have no story behind them. On a plus side though the outwear in it is pretty cool and varied and if your just cruising it can be fun.

I would rent it first if i was you.

skate is the best game ever created
soo stoked for skate 2

but shawn white doesnt look very legit to me
i get more of a tony hawk vibe from the commercials but i havent played it

STOKED on the other hand looks pretty similar to skate, and ive dreamt of a snowboard game like skate since i got it


its made by an actual legit snowboard company so it should be baller

yeah it has the same physics engine as skate, so its not super loopy and airy like tony hawk, and you use the thumb sticks too, should be dope
