EA's reentry into the skateboarding genre with the original Skate was viewed by many as an uphill challenge. Its last attempt - the ill-received Street Sk8er on PS1 nearly 10 years earlier - and the fact that Activision's Tony Hawk franchise was the firmly seated king of the hill didn't help. Still, the game's innovative trick controls and return to a more "pure" skateboarding experience proved a huge success, outselling that year's Tony Hawk title nearly two-to-one by some accounts.
Now EA Blackbox is looking to recreate that success in Skate 2 ... not through the usual addition of modes and various novelties, but via some basic evolution of the gameplay fundamentals of the original game. This sequel is about two things: an all-new, modifiable environment to skate in and more ways to show off in it. We went hands-on with Skate 2 to bring you our first gameplay impressions, which you can continue reading after the break.
