Having spent countless hours thumbing through the original Skate and playing through the whole of Skate 2, Skate 3 is easily the best in the franchise. With new locations, new tricks, difficulty settings that alter the "realism", and a variety of new colors, yes colors, what isn't there to like about the newest Skate?
Well, as always with the franchise the game does require you to take part in some very, very challenging sequences and sometimes the only reason they are difficult at all is because of the games physics system. You'll get frustrated, but thankfully you can always come back to it later if it proves too difficult.
I haven't played much online, save for by myself in a lone lobby, but when I did manage to get a room of free skaters, it was lag free.
Essentially that's all you need to know, it's Skate 3. It's not exactly the same game as it was last year, but it's not exactly novel either.
