My brother moved away and took the Xbox360, so I got a new one for myself. I'm rebuilding my game collection and wanted to get one of these two games. Which one is better? I'd rather not spend a lot of money if its not worth it, since I will be buying more games in the future.

Get Skate 3, Skate 2 and Skate 3 are exactly the same except Skate 3 has a park editor which is sick. Also get Skate 1, my favorite game of all time.

Skate 2, having to pay for party play in skate 3 sucks. Skate 2 overall is better imo

skate 3. i have both, and have recently been playing 3 a lot. then i went back and played skate 2 and it wasn't nearly as fun. the only thing i don't like about skate 3 is how there is so much dlc they should have just put into the game in the first place

i like skate 2 better because the funtrack is epic and never gets boring. skate 2's streets are also a lot cooler in my opinion but 3 is dope as well. still to this day i am finding new spots in skate 2 and i've been playing it for over 2 years religiously.

fun track in 2 is unbeatable and the world might be a tiny bit better in 2, but skate 2 is fucking awesome and the park editor is worth the price alone IMO. i'd go with 3.. making whatever you want then shredding it is just too sick

Exactly, skate 3 is worse mainly because there is different area's and not just one huge map that flows. As well skate 3 is just sooooo un realistic, the maps aren't even fun besides the big ramp places. The game is definitley less geared towards the street aspect, which is what made skate amazing. The park editor is fun, but isn't worth buying 3 over 2. Oh and you can't start more than one game.. you have to delete your file which screw up your online play..

All around

Skate > Skate 2 > Skate 3

skate 3 has create-a-park, which is awesome.

skate 2 has sicker flips (easier to do flips with tail, nose, stale, etc.)

if skate 3 had map of skate 2, but the physics of skate, it would be the ultimate skating game.

skate 2 > 3

keeps it much more real, skate 3 sorta turned the series into some amped 3 type cartoon shit.
turn on easy in skate 3 and you can literally jump of 50 foot cliffs and stomp it.

skate 1 is my all time fav tho
