trust me when I say that EA black box breathed new life in what seemed to be a dead video game genre, it's alot more realistic than tony hawk, instead of doing some stupid trick to blow up a bridge (or whatever else stupid crap they have, I remember one u could get off your board and play baseball withh ghosts) u just do tricks, and lines over spots, and do skateboard mag photo shoots, and other stuff, I seriously suggest these games for anyone who used to like tony hawk (or still do for the die hard fans) there is demos in the ps store for all 3 skate games, and right now u can pick up skate 2 just about anywhere for $20

The skateboarding genre will NEVER be what it once was, for all intensive purposes, it's dead. EA didn't bring it back, EA prolonged the inevitable death. If I want to play a game like old shool tony hawk, I'll hook up the PS and play it. I'm not gonna go buy a game that's basically a PS1 game with better graphics.

so I'm gonna go ahead and assume that u have played any of the skate games then, because thats the only way u can judge a game the way u are..... if u haven't then do u know how stupid it looks to say a game sucks when u have NEVER even tried it?

Your assumption would be correct.

It depends on what you're comparing. COD games are not even close to all the same, neither are all Battlefield games. COD WAW is COMPLETELY different than MW and MW2. Battlefield 1942 is COMPLETELY different than Bad Company. You can change the weapons, game types, and focus of a shooting genre game. You can change the tracks, cars, engines, and even the overall focus of a racing game. But skateboarding games are ALL the same. The only real different between skateboarding games are graphics and controls. That's it!
I'm just sayin all skateboarding games are the same. If you compare what Skate and TH is now to what it was when TH first started, the skateboarding games are BEYOND dead. When TH was big, EVERYONE had it and played it. There wasn't a gamer I knew that didn't have TH. And now? I don't know ONE person with Skate or TH. I RARELY hear anything about them, and the excitement surrounding the entire skateboarding genre is just nowhere near what it was.
